2009 Feltron Report →
The 2009 Feltron Report is out! This year, Nicolas Feltron incorporated some interesting new types of data:
Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist… any time I...

“The current belief that everyone must now be an inventor is too often...”
– Thomas Maitland (T.M.) Cleland, in February 1940, responding to the end of the so-called avant-garde era of experimentation, in an address delivered at a meeting of The American Institute of Graphic Arts in New York City in an address entitled, “Harsh Words.” (via bobulate)

Jarred Bishop →
Web dev types: Check how Jarred Bishop handles the backgrounds for his image/video posts to his tumblr. It’s so slick, you guys. I did a legitimate, full-on double take when I first scrolled onto it, followed immediately by a “did he just do that?!”
I spend a fair amount of time keeping with web design stuff, so not many things surprise me, but that sure did. Simple, clever,...

Make a DIY No-Kill Mousetrap with a Toilet Paper... →
First, I love how simply this illustration demonstrates the idea. I thought about copying the text description of how this works, but it’s self-explanatory.
Second, I love how simple, clever ideas still have the power to surprise me. I looked at this for a few seconds, then had the ‘aha’ moment and realized the genius of this idea.

First-Person Tetris →
Wow, I just played this for 45 minutes without realizing. I guess it’s first-person from the perspective of someone playing Tetris on a Nintendo… who’s rotating the room in parallel with the blocks? Okay, so maybe “first-person” isn’t really accurate but it’s pretty addicting anyway.

Vitesse: A New Font Family from H&FJ →
Whenever H&FJ release new fonts, I’m always surprised at how familiar they feel. There’s something relatable about their work, and though it might be similar to fonts by other foundries, the detail and polish put H&FJ on a whole other level.

“Use it to find the photography you like using the simple idea that people whose work you like, probably like stuff you’ll like. You start with a set of pictures — if you authenticate, it’ll use 20 of your last 100 favorites — otherwise it’ll start with somebody’s favorites. Click any picture to load more.” Great idea, works beautifully. (via Jarred Bishop)

Watch_grau
”_grau is a personal reflection on memories coming up during a car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish ethereally … various real sources where distorted, filtered and fitted into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds …”

Form::Process is the studio behind the amazing Mikihiko Kyobashi website. Too bad they work mostly in Japan… maybe I can be their American division?

Mikihiko Kyobashi: Photography →
I can’t bring myself to close this website. It’s been sitting open on my computer all morning, and the combination of slow-motion underwater video and ambient music is so beautiful and so hypnotic I can’t turn it off.
