Being from Michigan, particularly outside of Detroit, I always have an interest in what is going on in that area. Detroit itself is a vanishing city; with the American car market tanking, the city has lost the majority of its population and jobs, and crime is up and tourism is down. A friend recently told me about an […]
With a heavy heart, I, and the entire media world, report that the truffle of a magazine, Gourmet, The Magazine of Good Living and food porn, has succumbed to the tragic, yet predicted, fate of most big-budget print publications. Keeping with past and current market trends (the previous losses of Portfolio, Mogue and even popularity queen Domino), […]
I’ve written about exhibitions at the Met in the past, and I think another trip to the Met in the near future is a good idea. Before Maelstrom and Vermeer are over November 29th, head uptown and check them out. Start with the Vermeer exhibit, which is located on the bottom floor. The Milkmaid, the highlight of […]
The always-controversial and unfailingly entertaining MTV VMAs struck once again two nights ago, and in honor of my not having watched it (favoring Facebook Updates for the juice — which, coincidentally, is what this blog entry references), I’m posting a clever piece of PR known as MTV’s 2009 International Rebrand Reel.

I never followed the sport of cycling much, but once a year, I tune in to see what’s happening with the Tour de France. In part because I have the utmost admiration for any athlete who is first willing and second able to withstand the physiological demands of a race that last 23 days (2 days rest) and is about 2,200 miles […]
You may have noticed a few changes in our “Currently Playing” section of the blog, which has recently played host to several mash-up bands. What is a mash-up band, you say? Why, let me google that for you.
Why mash-up bands? Why not? For every lad and lass living in this modern jungle over-saturated with media, culture and […]
It’s that time again! I was at a very odd juncture in time, indeed, in which I found myself without much to talk about (at least that’s what my beef would say). Possible blog topics included boy wizards (July 15th!), the mating habits of the migratory skipe, and the difference between cormorants and diving ducks (does anyone know?). […]
Being from Michigan, in a town outside of Detroit, I have had a particular interest the recent, and not so recent, downfall of the American auto industry. Detroit, and Michigan in general, has been suffering for a long time and the recent economic crash has been the final nail in the coffin. Being a designer I am particularly interested in how […]
At least once a day I venture on the internet to sites such as CNN and the NY Times in an attempt to keep myself up to date on the happenings going on in our city, across the nation and around the world. I came across a collection of stories on the NY Times site titled One In 8 Million. […]
Everybody Dance Now: 20 Years of Dancing in Print is the latest exhibit to go up at the AIGA National Design Center here in New York. The exhibit takes an in-depth look at Dance Ink and 2wice, two award-winning arts magazines that are the product of a collaboration between Patsy Tarr and Pentagram’s Abbot Miller.
If you’re […]
