Projecting Light
I love when people manage to create really interesting visuals by simple means. I have recently encountered 2 great examples of this that involve projecting light. Below is a shot of the performance space at the Lovin’ Cup in Williamsburg. Above the stage there is this amazing display which, at first glance looks like crazy fiber-optics but is really just hanging strings from a large piece...

I don’t know if it is just the vicodine I took for my bum tooth, but I think this ambient design site is just fantastic. Move and click your mouse as the music plays and all these fantastic things will happen! At the end you can playback the visual experience you created.

Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delight
Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Milton Glaser talk for the second time this year, after a screening of the new biographic movie Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delight. His work is legendary and he is an inspiration the minute he walks into a room. Definitely add this film to your list of movies to see. It is well done (shot over a span of 5 years) and gives a great sense of his...

Designer Axes
Check out these hand forged Axes by Best Made Co. — one of America’s oldest axe companies. They are tempered in Maine, the helves (handles) are made of 30” American hardwood and hand painted and polished in New Jersey. Each axe is hand engraved with our signature X mark. Every axe is made to order…. If only I needed an axe.

Stella Don't
I love random acts of activism. At the Met Foods by my office I spotted these stickered Stella D’oro packages telling shoppers that the workers have been on strike since August.

Here & There
Here & There is a project by S&W exploring speculative projections of dense cities. These maps of Manhattan look uptown from 3rd and 7th, and downtown from 3rd and 35th. They’re intended to be seen at those same places, putting the viewer simultaneously above the city and in it where she stands, both looking down and looking forward. Ummmm. I don’t really get the point, but...
