Tonight we rolled out one of the reasons for my post lag. I mentioned earlier (kind of) that we’ve been working on something for Stephen Colbert. As of a few minutes ago, It’s live.

This is the first project to launch since a recommendation from Guy K spiked our requests in June. That recommendation plus some attention from the design galleries helped get us involved in some pretty exceptional projects - can’t wait to launch a few more.

Caught this last night & commented at the EP blog, but checked it out again this morning at a higher resolution from the office. I really like that you didn’t wimp out with the giant Stephen PNGs (woohoo, AlphaImageLoader).
Sweet design and cross-browser proofing aside, I’m curious: whose idea was the Book Sightings/Videobook? ’s marketing wizardry, is that. (You know, speaking as a guy who normally waits a few months for the paperback…)
They were both in the initial proposal, but it’s pretty tough to credit anyone with any single idea in that site - the whole process was extremely collaborative. Felt like we’d been working w/ them for years once we got past the initial intimidation of trying to be funny in our proposal.
Congratulations. Great work. I got to this via facebook this morning without realizing you guys did this and thought, this is a freaking cool site. Who did the copy? I laughed out loud more than a few times. Spread the love ’round the shop.
Thanks Greg.

Good stuff. I saw an interview with him yesterday AM and the book looks awesome. “Senior citizens are freeloaders…and they look like lizards.” I love it.
