A few weeks ago I downloaded Objectified, the documentary about industrial design from the director of Helvetica, which Toni sent me on DVD last year, and I loved. I finally got around to watching it last night and was so glad I did. It’s a solid introduction to the idea of industrial design, the kind of design movie that a non-designer can appreciate (more so than Helvetica, I think). It’s available on iTunes (inexplicably not in HD), on DVD and Blu-Ray from the Objectified web site, and an abbreviated version is airing on PBS.

Automattic has released an updated version of P2, the tiny theme for WordPress that’s gotten a few big ideas. Custom post types, more customization, and a better iPhone theme are all included. And we’ve made it easier to use P2 as a “parent” theme, so it’s way easier than ever to create a totally different-looking site that’s got all the great functionality of P2. If you’re on WordPress.com you can take it for a spin today — it’ll be freely available for self-hosted WordPress bloggers soon.
