A great minimalist design for business cards
November 14th, 2011
Boris Smus’ minimalist business card concept is great. I liked it so much that I took it and modified it to include my name and title. On the back I included a QR code with all of my contact information and a short description of what I do along with my phone number. What do [...]

“During a week of attempting to cloak every aspect of daily life, our correspondent found that in an information age, leaving no trace is nearly impossible” I saw this when I clicked on the link to PopSci from the Drupal.org announcement of the release of Drupal 6 (They had a list of sites using Drupal).
