True and Smart Transparency at the CES
January 13, 2012 | No Comments | View
While every organization under the sun has been grappling with either being or appearing transparent, Samsung’s been making it happen in the truest sense. Behold, the best thing we’ve seen out of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (admittedly from afar), Samsung’s Smart Window: Weird how it makes that town so small, though. Beta? Bugs aside, [...]
Enjoyable Edification
January 6, 2012 | No Comments | View
Resolutions, diets, and ‘new you’ to-dos are all well and good, but instead of more of that, how about we kick off 2012 with 100 of the greatest gig posters of the last 5 years, as curated by the author of The Wall: Modern Day Music Posters, Tom Booth? It’ll be just as good for you – [...]
One for the U2 People

Tempus fugit. U2′s Achtung Baby is now only a year away from buying its own drinks, and part of the party U2′s team is throwing is an image contest/collaboration, inviting artists to submit photographs and artwork ‘which reflects today’s global environment’ in the same spirit that Achtung Baby and its original artwork did way back in [...]

Drawing an Excellent Conclusion
November 18, 2011 | No Comments | View
The coolest thing we saw all week just so happens to be a great way to start the weekend, and makes us think that Vimeo et al should work a slo-mo button in somewhere: Keep Drawing is a fantastic short from Korean Studio Shelter about drawing – using many, many differently styled drawings to illustrate the depth, [...]

Found a whole lot of awesome in one place today over at the Lost Type Co-op , not the least of which is this post about a mural project in the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville, KY. Awesome typefaces, awesome site, awesome organizational model, presumably awesome founders, and the awesome post about an awesome mural using their awesome [...]

You don’t have to dig too far in our last.fm history to see that we like a little well-placed, well-done hip-hop while we work. The way good hip-hop has its way with words and ideas can be nice and conducive to a good turn of phrase, design, or entire concept in what we do. Besides, [...]
Ten Years of Steady Beaver
October 21, 2011 | No Comments | View
It’s a good day at Bluezoom. Today we’re celebrating the ten-year mark of the most-enjoyable and enriching honor of having Tommy Beaver in the Bluezoom fold. Hard to believe a decade has passed since he stopped in for a casual (but in hindsight, monumental) meet-n-greet. A lot has changed since then: we’ve kept growing, moved [...]
This Just In: We Scored a W3 Award
October 14, 2011 | No Comments | View
Just a quick note this very nice Friday afternoon to mention that we’ve just received word that we got us another W3 Award. What’s that? Well, if you’ve ever been in the bar/reception area of our office, they’re the trophies with the three stacked and skewed cubes. Like this: What does it mean? It means [...]
Steve Jobs

A cursory survey around the office of our 10-person agency yields around 80 instances of the Apple logo. If we looked harder and dug a little, we’d probably hit the century mark. No other brand even comes close to half of that. If we included our homes, the landslide would continue. But to be honest, [...]
Jack White, Dwell, and Design
September 30, 2011 | No Comments | View
As big fans of Jack White and the things he makes, we couldn’t resist reading and sharing a recent interview with him in Dwell Magazine about design, music, furniture, and tactility. Favorite entities talking about favorite topics: “I like tackling problems from a pragmatic standpoint and changing my style accordingly, rather than approaching everything with [...]
