Potato Salad!
Those in the know, know I like to bake… and for those of you unfortunate souls who haven’t had the fun of spending an afternoon in the kitchen baking with me, here’s a good representation of one of those afternoons: Just kidding–my hair is never that fabulous…
Too Much
More is rarely more… unless of course you’re trying to give your viewers a seizure, as this website appears to be attempting….
1000 Journals Movie
The movie chronicling the 1000 journals project is finally about to be released at the AFI Film Festival in L.A. next month. The project has even been nominated for a People’s Design Award! Cool deal.

Tripping over this photo and article in the New York Times almost makes me a miss living in Gothenburg
Made in America
While once again reading the NYTimes, I came across an article discussing the increasing trend of buying American made. It makes me wonder though, how the increased desire or demand for local products will affect the demand and use of raw materials. How far does the definition of “Made in America” extend? Does the increasingly …
Summer ’06
A visual summary of last summer in one photo… BTW, I didn’t take that shot, I was just there for the photoshoot – Tim Ryan, a former colleague shot it
The journey is the destination…
Came across an article on cartography in the New York Times today that caught my eye. It raised an interesting point about the nature of some maps indicating the politics of its artist or commissioner. It also ended with an intriguing thought: “Navigation is about more than going from one point to the next. It’s …

Contemporary Trends
I was reading the the New York Times today, and one article in particular caught my attention. The article gave a brief exploration of the current trend in naming colors after foods. It was only a few paragraphs before I found myself thinking of Patrick Jordan’s Supertrends concept and lecture(s). This article on food-colored cars …

Wet Spring
For as long as I can remember, Spring has been a season of wet and saturated color to me – opposing polarities – warm and cold, decay and growth – struggling to balance out… Last week there was an absolutely spectacular thunderstorm.. I couldn’t help but take a few photos, some of which I’ve already …
1000 Journals Project
I was in a bookshop today and tripped over the new book about the 1000 journals project. With an almost magnetic draw, it caught my attention and found its way home with me. I was tickled to be reminded of the project – years ago I had the good fortune to trip over one of …
After the storm
Thunderstorms seemed to clear my head.. for a few hours at least

Nomads
Looks like Future Design Days is going nomadic… what are the chances of meetings outside of Sweden, I wonder.. Italy and Asia seem like likely possibilities, but we’ll just see i guess.. Have been spending a lot of time lately with Nick Bantock’s work – which has triggered two things in me – wanderlust and …
