The show consisted of art by Kyle Danley, Alex Milidrag and myself. Kyle also did a live painting while I spun some of the funky stuff I do, and we all had a blast. Pictures below.

This is being left as a sticky until I get the dance moves to Billie Jean down pat. Like Kate. (Frangry always finds the good stuff first.)

I first heard about this a month or so ago at highsnobiety.

As seen in TAR magazine. Damien Hirst took an image of Moss (from the cover of the March 2005 issue of W shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott – one of my favorite all-star photographer teams) and ripped away a bit of flesh. I dig.

Haven’t posted in forever. This isn’t a magical mix, but it should keep your feet a tapping.

If you’re a design geek like me, you might be interested to know that the VideoPress logo (as well as all of VideoPress.com) is set in the beautiful Museo family of typefaces, designed by your fellow WordPress.com bloggers at the exljbris Font Foundry (exljbris.wordpress.com).

In Detroit’s NWA terminal there is an extremely long tunnel between the A and B/C gates.

We call it the LSD tunnel. It’s an art installation that plays trippy music and changes color to the music. It’s hard to walk down the tunnel as the music and colors disorient you. I’m surprised more people don’t miss their flights.

Flies and moths are naturally attracted to light. This lamp shade has holes based on the form of the pitcher plant enabling access for the insects but no escape. Eventually they expire and fall into the microbial fuel cell underneath. This generates the electricity to power a series of LEDs located at the bottom of the shade. These are activated when the house lights are turned off.

Thanks for this one Alex (who doesn’t blog or have a website)!

surely content is king but there are better ways to present your content than this… it looks like a regular wordpress theme.

I’d be intrigued to know what those better ways to present this content are.

It looks like a WordPress theme because it is one.

WordPress themes spring from Blogger themes. Blogger themes sprang from what Dave Winer, Jason Kottke and I and some of our friends were doing on the web in the mid-1990s. (I also designed some of the default Blogger themes.)

So it makes sense that my blog would look like a blog, and that a retro redesign of my blog would look like a primordial blogging template. It’s a zag away from the modern trend of making blogs look like newspapers or Flash sites or movie posters or other things.

That trend is interesting and those design explorations by other people can really be wonderful and can push web design in new directions.

But that’s not what I’m doing here, as noted in the “blog post” that precedes these comments. What I’m doing here is resurrecting early blogdom, with modern typographical niceties made possible by better standards support in modern browsers—you’re welcome!

Mainly, the redesign is content focused. After so many years as a web designer, and after creative directing so many influential projects, I naturally considered doing a wide, three-column, ultra-modern design—something cool, detached, polished, and glowing with rich media and fancy-pants sliding-drawer JavaScript effects. Not that there’s anything wrong with those things. In the right circumstances, those things can rock hard. But this site is mainly about my writing. So I crafted a simple look that encourages reading and hearkens back to this site’s early years.

And, it was my pleasure helping him turn his HTML gold into WordPress magic.

Anyway, here’s the pics of Emma. Frick. First the editorials and now Burberry.

Today at Apple’s WWDC event in San Francisco, Apple had a bunch of Cinema Display monitors mounted together on a wall showing what looked to be some sort of pulsating canvas. But a closer look revealed that it was actually a huge collection of icons for many of the apps available in the App Store, arranged by color. Apparently, when someone purchased one, that app’s icon would pulsate, creating the effect.

Nothing beats Moss like Early Moss. (Thanks Frangry.)

FRANGRY – Daily dose of Moss.
