01/26/12--00:40: Why hasn’t anyone created a better web-based email provider? (chan 1662575)

For me personally, I use and love Gmail. The team behind the service has to be one of the best, hardest working teams in tech, as they’re constantly rolling out new changes and improvements, especially on the mobile front. The big problem is, they’re a part of Google. Lately Google has been getting pretty shady, [...]


01/26/12--07:00: Architects Have Answers (chan 1662575)

The video above is made from snippets of 20 interviews with architectural luminaries. Conducted by Luca Farinelli, the interviews are published in the latest issue of Log, and it’s funny to see how the architects’ answers compare to each others… or maybe it’s not surprising that Peter Eisenman thinks that only architects make architecture. And [...]


01/26/12--08:12: A garden shed or a home away from home? (chan 1662575)

I came across these lovely photos over on Anthology and was totally surprised to find out that this is not a lovely bedroom, it’s actually a garden shed. The styling that was put into this, while minimal, made me think this was some sort of outdoor vacation lodge that you could camp out in during [...]


01/26/12--09:00: Preppy superheroes invade Thom Browne’s Fall 2012 runway show (chan 1662575)

I respect Thom Browne because he just doesn’t give a fuck. Well, I suppose that’s not entirely true, I think he doesn’t care about what anyone else thinks and has a lot of fun doing it. The images above are from his Fall 2012 runway show and boy what a doozy this collection is. To [...]


01/26/12--13:28: The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Denise Nouvion: Day 4 (chan 1662575)

Day four of our series with Denise Nouvion has arrived, and another beautiful desktop along with it. Today’s image, for lack of a better term, is pretty epic, a cloudy mountain range off in the distance. I get a big Miyazaki vibe from this image, it’s spooky and cool. If you’re looking for an image [...]


01/27/12--00:07: Ditch Helvetica, try these 5 contemporary sans serif typefaces (chan 1662575)

The other night I took to Twitter to see if anyone had any good suggestions for a contemporary feeling sans-serif typeface for use in a project that I’m working on. I received a number of suggestions, so I thought I’d share five typefaces which were my favorites. They’re listed out in alphabetical order, not by [...]


01/27/12--07:00: ‘Kolchoz & Sovchoz’ – The incredibly insane work of Sam Vanallemeersch (chan 1662575)

The work of Belgian artist and illustrator Sam Vanallemeersch is just incredible. Each of his images are filled with a crazy amount of energy and spontaneity. His work often leaves you dazed as you attempt to take in everything you’re looking at. After browsing through his portfolio(s) I was left feeling both overwhelmed and in [...]


01/27/12--10:06: Space Suit of the Week (chan 1662575)

Cristina De Middel is a photojournalist. Her series “Afronauts” captures the narrative of Zambia’s failed attempt to put man on the moon in a dignified, triumphant light. Her dossier reads: “Afronauts’ is based on the documentation of an impossible dream that only lives in the pictures.” Zambia didn’t put space boots on the moon, but these [...]


01/27/12--13:01: Microbiology: It’s Pretty! (chan 1662575)

These delicate and “oooooh pretty” glass sculptures are actually quite terrifying. Why? Because they represent some very nasty stuff– bugs- that have cause a lot of people a lot of pain. From top to bottom, Luke Jerram has made for us the SARS corona virus, HIV and (my personal favorite) a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages work by [...]


01/27/12--15:35: The Desktop Wallpaper Project featuring Denise Nouvion: Day 5 (chan 1662575)

We’ve reached the end of our beautiful ride with Denise Nouvion and her lovely photos, but I have an extra surprise in store. Along with her final wallpaper, a beautiful image of a polaroid of a bike, we have a brand new track to preview from her the band she’s in, Memoryhouse. Pretty cool, if [...]
