I recently updated Buamai to version 4.5. The update uses the same code as the previous version, but with cosmetic changes to the front end interface and pagination. I have also updated the code to have better results on iPhone/iPad devices. With this update, I took the older iOS 3 iPhone/iPad apps down from the AppStore.
Buamai Select, now designed exclusively for Apple’s iPad.
Your deadline is 24 hours away, and you’re staring at a blank document as the S.S. Inspiration shoals out on a sand bar and the cursor flashes on through the night like an SOS to nobody. Well, fear not, design sailor, because the good ship Buamai is here to throw you a life preserver.
Chosen as an iTunes staff favorite in May, 2009, Buamai was created to grab images from our server in order to cure your creative boredom and bring design inspiration directly to your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Images are posted by a closed collective of artists, graphic designers, programmers, architects and fashion designers based in various cities around the world. Images loaded by Buamai are mainly inspired by graphic design, art, and architecture, but some random strange images are thrown in for variety.

Concept, Design and Code by Michael Paul Young
The goal of Buamai was to gather a select community of authors to begin creating an interesting image archive relative to art and design. Try it today, and just start clicking from image to image, keyword to keyword, link to link. Site designed and coded by Michael Paul Young, with the help of WordPress 2.7
Ling (MPY) was an idea conceived while composing our short movie The Mountain of Ling in August of 2007. The idea was to create our own alphabet and language, but still inspired by the English alphabet, 26 character structure. The original idea has been modified a bit and composed into this working font (opentype), Ling.
Ling works as a system of increasing circle amounts for caps and declining heights for lower case. The final result is a more pattern and numerical system then obvious communication, but it might be useful to others. We have decided to give this way for free, enjoy.
Online portfolio system designed/coded by Michael Paul Young. One of the highlights of the site, is the website can be completely controlled by Commonwealth themselves. This means the colors, sizes, random on/off and of course section content. The random options generate endless composition arrangements on each page refresh/load, so each user always gets different views of the site. View Project
Consistency, constancy, or visible order, disconnected; fitful: desultory conversation. Digressing from or unconnected with the main subject; random: a desultory remark. DG becomes a decade old with version 9.
The basic tenants of VIII are somewhat complicated, having to do as much with psychiatric strategies as mappings of the psyche. Moreover, many of the VIII concepts have, themselves, entered into the popular folklore in the guise of “DG,” “Father-Son Complex,” and so forth. Probably, the folk-preserved versions of this theory are sufficient purpose for looking at sexual publications. Soundtrack by Designgraphik. View Project
