Medium reminds me of Jux, both of which make me wonder if I should just throw my hands up and succumb to hosted, tailored publishing platforms⊠If we compare digital editorial design to the craft of menâs shirt-making, art-directed pages would be bespoke shirtsâluxury items uniquely made for an individual. On the opposite end of the spectrum are off-the-rack shirts, idealized designs manufactured en masse. Like article templates, these are […]
Normann Copenhagen has got some beautiful products (take this Beater Whisk, Butterfly can opener, or this Hang On Coat Rack) I wish I could get my hands on, or find if not pirate cheap versions of locally, but what pushed me over the edge into writing about it here is this neat set of Dropit Hooks and the way they’re presented on their page. I’m not just talking about the […]
“Ok, letâs face it: the standards are very high. EWO probably wonât be as successful as STIUTK and so there probably wonât be as many covers, remixes, mash-ups, memes or whatever people may come up with of it (thank the Lord!) as there have been of ‘that hit’.

Everybody was grieving about this, though not me, since I wouldnât have had a job there otherwise. And though it wasnât until years later that I even met Kurt, he unwittingly left me a gift: tacked to the bulletin board in the office I […]
The extended run of Screen: Macbeth is from March 11-13. It’s a shame that there aren’t more tickets because this is a must-see, must-experience. The production merges live performance with film and draws on traditional shadow theater to create a world where Shakespeare’s poetic language meets with a heightened visual environment. It responds to the quest for a contemporary analogue to the supernatural and finds it onscreen. Screen: Macbeth turns […]
Two gems I ran into in an article about a tumblelog about an app store (how many are there already, really): Where the heck were you when the page was blank? – Paul Butterworth Most haters are full of ideas yet have low creative output. – Nick Campbell See what I mean about irrational rage?
