It’s been a crazy good couple of weeks. Lots of good work, good works, and celebrations. We had Tommy Beaver’s Bluezoom tenth last Friday, and now we’re staring Halloween right in its cold, dead eye. And that ain’t all, at all. Tuesday before last (the 18th) (tempus fugit) there was also one of the coolest things [...]

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 [...]
Inspiration in Black & White

Not too long ago, Edward Boches caught a bug, missed speaking at a social media breakfast, and was nice enough to post his slides and notes for all of us to take in and digest. Advertising Evolves. You Should, Too has stuck with us all summer as we talk about past, present, and future (it’s not just a January tradition), tech, trends, and tacks. In the spirit of scooting things along that we imagine compels Mr. Boches to share his thoughts and work with the public, we wanted to point to it, as well. The more common these types of ideas and practices become, the better the world could be.

The power of a natural disaster reaches even further and deeper than the lands and lives in its immediate scope. The news last night and today of the Pacific earthquake and tsunami hits those of us out of harm’s way square in our hearts and minds with new speed and clarity. With this or any [...]

Okay, it’s been long enough since the first time. It’s time to refocus our brains on themselves, don’t you think? It’ll be fun; this go-round we’ll be thinking about how the internet reshapes our thinking, while on the internet. Deliciously reflexive. Today we’re pointing your brain meat towards itself via a recent article Adam Gopnik wrote [...]

How many of your favorite CDs do you dust more than you listen to? For that matter, how much of your physical music collection has been exiled to storage bins, if not living in vagrancy between your home, car, and office? For us, that answer is the vast, vast majority. Music as file has made [...]
