STRONGLY like.

As a visual learner, I strongly like this trend.
It’s how my brain process things on it’s own.
So it’s nice when someone does it for me.
Then my brain gets to be lazy.
And my brain loves being lazy.

And then there’s the Motherload

Nicholas Felton of the Feltron Annual Report.

STRONGLY dislike.

The concept here seems pretty tame,
but for some reason I find these things completely revolting.
I'm not squeemish by nature and I don't have a weird thing about feet,
so there's no real reason for my adverse reaction to them.

I'm not sure if it's the use of leopard,
the weird athletic supporter look below...
or the gross looking felt pads on the bottom
or maybe it's my visual images of them in use.
Which is another subject in entirety,
how do people actually use these?

Whatever. My gag reflex has kicked in big time.

Kevin Cyr

When I saw Kevin Cyr's work on 20x200, I had no idea he was also the guy behind the camper bike (Which, by the way, is completely functional. Very cool.) I like his realistic style and mundane subject matter, but I think his bright color palette makes me love him. Check out his new die cast miniatures too.

Noah Kalina

I have a new photographer crush. His name is Noah Kalina.

it's about time...

for some good movies. The end of summer is always sad, but it does mean an end to summer blockbuster season. Beginners is a father/son story from Mike Mills (what!? that dad from The Sound of Music's gay? ). Dad/Daughter story a la Sophia Coppola Somewhere . And crazy people movies always make for good stuff, especially ones with this guy...

Emeryville cops, this is for you. This Stealth Spray will make your license plate number look invisible to Traffic Camera. Modern fuzz buster, I heart you.

Sanna Annukka’s Finnish designer who’s done projects for Marimekko, Keane and even some milk packaging.

Fennofolk Exhibit, Winter Maiden
Summer Maiden
Autumn Maiden (There’s no spring in Finland?)
Spirits of the North lithograph

These milk cartons make me smile.

This is from her website: "Hello, my name is Sanna Annukka, I’m an illustrator and print maker with a love for nature and folklore... Another major influence is Finland’s national epic known as The Kalevala, a collection of folklore songs that are quite simply magical.”

This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I know these places, things and of these people.

Sort of feels like Oakland’s becoming our home.

Sort of.

On a side note, they repainted the giraffes.

They look great. I heart them.

yes, please.

I need another tote bag like I need another hole in my head, but...

It's so cute and for $24 it’s pretty easy to justify.

My new tote bag is available at little factory.

why didn’t some think of this sooner?

I’m not going to call this genius,

but it’s one of those things that would

make me smile if I saw one on some packaging.

And I’m genuinely surprised it took so long

for designers to have some fun with barcodes.
