Today I got up early in order to make an attempt at getting some work done before breakfast. I dragged a long ethernet cable out the window so I could sit outside with the MacBook. I still have yet to get wireless at the house, I know, I should. Anyways, it didn’t quite work, but I had some great rye toast for breakfast. But for some better news, I am getting a good amount of work done right now, including writing this blog post which was on my list of things to do today.
I am going to try something new here on the blog. That is listing some links in which I would like to share with you. Not to worry, I will continue to tell stories and share ideas. I have had so many things that I would to share but never really share a bunch of them at the same time, so here it goes.
Behance Network
Just launched yesterday, Behance has created an online community for all types of creative people. The site has a nice design and they have thought it out very well. Still room for some improvements though.
Video from Dwell
The ever popular and wonderful magazine, Dwell, has some great videos online. There first online video projects is a series of ten videos covering the green remodeling of a town house in Harlem. There current series profiles leaders in design and architecture.
Iron & Wine
Just discovered this musician yesterday, and I like what I here. Take a listen for yourself.
Five and a Half’s Blog
Five and a Half, the people who have brought us beautiful hand made journals also has a blog that is full of great resources and stories about handmade items and life. I strongly recommend digging through their archives, for you might find some amazing posts.
The World Without Us
Saw Alan Weisman, the author of The World Without Us, on The Daily Show with John Stewart and thought his book sounded great. Although I have yet to pick up a copy for myself, the concept behind the book is the global warming and all of that scares people, so Weisman killed off all of the humans in the first chapter. Not a bad idea if you ask me.
Design Notes
A blog all about design that is published and written by Michael Surtees. Always some great posts that you can find here.
