Babycakes

I am kind of fascinated with objects or art made at exaggerated scale (particularly miniature scale, dollhouses, terrariums, Dominic Wilcox's watch sculptures). So, I was delighted to come across the concept of scale related to desserts in this article in the New York Times. Hurray for bite sized portions of concentrated deliciousness.

Steve Jobs

2011-10-06T17:02:00.002-04:00

Professionally, Steve Jobs was such a hero of mine. His approach to design, communication, user experience and the consumer informs my thinking, especially now that I'm trying to launch a start-up of my own. When I heard the news that Steve Jobs died last night, I was so stricken and transfixed on the relentless stream of updates, news, obituaries, and eulogies, written to not only honor his

Brian Atwood

2011-10-05T11:35:00.002-04:00

If you created a Kepner-Tregoe chart to decide what shoes to wear this weekend, Brian Atwood would come on top for height and comfort requirements. Yes, those stacked loafers (Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang) look so comfy (relatively, natch), but you can't pair them with just anything. The gold python pumps will be mine. I also quite like the quilted, black patent leather. I believe they are

Arrested Development Redux

Another season AND a movie... Check out the Bluth Family Reunion on The New Yorker Facebook Exclusives page... Hilarious.

First signs of Halloween...

2011-09-30T16:23:00.001-04:00

Well, I've seen various Halloween trinket and candy displays mass-marketed at Duane Reade, since August, but here's the first pumpkin I've seen in my neighborhood. Any costume ideas?

Jim Henson and Being Elmo

2011-09-24T10:31:00.004-04:00

Thanks to Google's doodle today, I know it's Jim Henson's Birthday....which reminded me of an entertaining, little documentary, called Being Elmo that I quite enjoyed. It tells the story of the puppeteer behind the sweet little red muppet with the distinctive laugh that delights millions of screaming rugrats all over the world. It's fun. See it. Via: Google.com

Japanese Film - Mizoguchi

2011-09-22T10:04:00.000-04:00

This week, I saw the film The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums which is playing at BAM, as part of a series curated by Chicago Reader film critic, Dave Kehr. It's directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, who, along with Kurosawa and Ozu, make up the Japanese triumvirate of cinema masters of their era. The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums is a slow film with, ahem, incredibly LONG takes, so it's a bit

Miniature Watch Sculptures, Dominic Wilcox

2011-09-20T08:29:00.002-04:00

Take a look at these miniature watch sculptures by British artist, Dominic Wilcox. I originally saw images of the sculptures on the "It's Nice That" site, but the video on the artist's YouTube channel better demonstrates the interplay between the subjects he features. The artist designed this series "using a collection of vintage watches and customized model figures. By attaching tiny figures

Coach Taylor

2011-09-19T15:52:00.001-04:00

Kyle Chandler, who played Eric Taylor, dedicated high-school football coach and inspirational mentor to hormonal and misguided athletes, won a well-deserved Emmy for his performance on Friday Night Lights, one of the most under-rated series ever aired on television. Every episode offered entertainment value, with its phenomenal acting, small-town authenticity, fully-fleshed out characters

Musical Chairs

2011-09-15T12:47:00.001-04:00

I've been looking for a desk chair for a few months and this one caught my eye. London based artist, Jo-Yun Wang, designed this swivel chair with musical caster wheels. If you had a whole bunch of them in a room, it would produce quite a charming arrangement. Although, I would imagine that with every move and note produced over time, the rate of delight would decrease and rate of annoyance

Robot Wallpaper

2011-09-12T08:00:00.000-04:00

I’ve recently moved into a new apartment and have found myself merrily lost in the “shelter” blogosphere, while seeking decorative inspiration and various ways to furnish my new abode. Being a student of technology, I was drawn to this wallpaper, designed by London-based firm, Studio Ditte. The pattern is made up of a charming brigade of bots, cobbled together with old hardware parts,

Cinemagraphs a.k.a Animated GIFS

2011-07-07T14:43:00.000-04:00

The lo-fi absurdity of an unexpected animated GIF during a boring Powerpoint presentation or scrolling through Gawker's Comment Section will always elicit some laughs. But now that we are calling them "cinemagraphs", animated GIFs have become an artform and a legitimate way to market beer (so says the New York Times)! I must admit, it's slightly mesmerizing... Sorry too lazy to figure out
