unofficially, i decided to partake in the whole nanowrimo thing. unofficially, i say, because i had no desire to sign up on their site. i decided to do this strictly as a personal experiment, and, having finally reached the fifty thousand word goal, my assessment is as follows.

product(red) meets starbucks meets the kinetic typography trend. it’s a cliché overload, if you ask me. a well executed cliché overload that will undoubtedly make more in its first hour than i do in a year. hmph.
i am generally unimpressed with the whole (product)red thing. it’s a brand whose meaning was lost in its execution; a supposedly charitable project that receives more criticism than praise. take mark rosenman, for example, who describes product(red) as an “example of the corporate world aligning its operations with its central purpose of increasing shareholder […]
in a recent interview with juxtapoz, artist sam flores does a beautiful and unpretentious job of talking about his art, his inspiration and his process.

i’m sticking with my new sunday tradition, though this post is nearly a week late. last weekend, i tried out two new recipes, grilled avocado with strawberry-mango salsa and sweet corn cake. the corn cake was a little off in consistency, though tasty enough that i’ll give it another try. these sides accompanied a tasty […]
good is everywhere. from their bi-monthly magazine to their weekly starbucks good sheets, they take the often overwhelming and make it accessible through good design.
my favourite new good creation: the three-trillion-dollar war: its cost in ten steps.
this sexy video was put out by the human rights action center and created by the incredibly talented seth brau.
the summer months have drawn to an end and seattle has turned cold and rainy, which i of course used as an excuse to go shoe shopping - specifically for rain boots.
the world of rain boots is far more vast than i ever would have imagined, and, as i scoured nordstorm’s flagship store, i couldn’t […]
