First of all, huge props to Design Public and their wonderful staff. They have been awesome helping me with recommendations for putting together my new bedding, which I am assuredly buying from them. I love EVERYTHING on their site, and you should definitely support these people. Do it up.

Solar powered Prius. I am getting a Prius as my next car, but probably just the gas-electric hybrid. Although this one is neato.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg revokes a permit for a block party to promote a new Atari game: Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure [a graff-themed game where characters paint old blue-bird subway cars].

Yeah, yeah, I get it, Bloomberg. You don’t want to sanction graffiti and vandalism, but this is an event specifically geared toward artistic expression, not vandalism. Canvases and sponsored props are being used. No one is going to touch your stupid squeaky clean Subway cars. I mean, just because Converse hired COPE to design a sneaker for them doesn’t mean they condone “vandalism.” It’s about art. Besides, this is a VIDEO GAME, not real life. I suggest focusing more on stuff like this than vilifying graffiti artists. Get over it, already.

I am loving the photo posts over at Smitten. In order: Anticipation | Impatience | Gratification.

Hahahah no way. Hypercolor shirts are back?!

Realm Dekor has lots of nifty things.

Fall 2005 color trends from Pantone. Loving Atmosphere and Moss.

Hellfest got cancelled. Bummer for the kids who wanted to see the Public Enemy, Coalesce and 108 reunions (pretty much the only bands playing worth seeing).

What Are We Jewelboxing Part Two.

The FoodLoop. Neato kitchen gadget #23451388984.

Comments

the funniest comment i heard about hellfest was something to the effect of at least they can't blame FSU for gettin it shutdown.

all in all, its a bummer that it happened. i'm curious of what demands they did fall short on and how they will correct that in the future?
