  • Nick Drake – River Man
    your inspiration for today. beautiful video by Tim Pope.
  • Apple: Secrecy Does Not Scale – Anil Dash
    is Apple slowly self-immolating when it screws over iphone developers with all this secrecy garbage? maven indie iphone devs are fleeing the platform in packs. is the iphone's golden years over?
  • Custom Letter — LetterCult
    holy crapola. so much juicy good typography here. loving it. inspiration for days. [via @Nybe]
  • Scientists Are Concerned About Cancer in Animals
    new nasty, virulent forms of cancer are being discovered in wild animals, that are the result of heavy carcinogenic environmental contamination. are human beings really the top of the evolutionary chain? How did cheap crap from Wal Mart become the thing we collectively care about most? [via @jimmoriarty]
  • Isolator
    my new favorite app. when you need to concentrate on something your doing in a particular application (like writing a blog post in Safari or designing something out in photoshop) just hit the command keys for this app and it hides all your other app windows and the dock and presents your current working window on a black background. hit it again to return the windows. should be built into Mac OS X.
  • Minimal Mac
    one my new favorite blogs. tons of tips on reducing the visual clutter on your desktop (both the virtual and analog ones). less is more.

  • Legendary Surfers: Mike Hynson
    an exhaustively awesome article about The Endless Summer's co-star Mike Hynson. great read.
  • scout & catalogue
    Bre was a creative director at a fashion retailer. when the market crashed in October or so, Bre and her man (originally from Vallarta) decided to move to Mexico, something similar to what I did. She just set up a blog, but it's got all the markings of an intimate, well-designed portrait of her experience in a new culture, in a strange land. go check it out.
  • 2 or 3 things I know
    a curated blog of beautiful things. lots of nice arty things. precious things.
  • The blue and the green | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine
    wicked optical illusion: "You see embedded spirals, right, of green, pinkish-orange, and blue? Incredibly, the green and the blue spirals are the same color." – I still don't believe it.
  • Rodrigo Fuenzalida : Graphic Design & Typography
    a couple of free, nicely designed fonts from a Venezuelan graphic designer. nice stuff!

  • Look & Sea: A Little Experimentation Never Hurt Nobody
    and even more alaia-madness. these are some guys who are experimenting with various different forms of wooden finless shapes. some of the longest and thickest boards i've ever seen. beautiful rides in this video, it gets really good around the 10 minute mark, some beautiful alaia riding, some true bending of the plank.
  • Under the Sun Surf Film Blog: Alaia Sliding in Cardiff
    keeping on the alaia page, here's some recently past footage of Cyrus Sutton sliding on an alaia, from his blog, which for some reason hadn't made it into my rss folder. that's all changed now.
  • Look at this fucking hipster
    one of my current guilty pleasure websites. kinda takes what the cobra snake was doing and distills it even further. the captions are the clincher. down in mexico hipster fashion is 3 years behind (at least in my neck of el campo) and mostly limited to emo styles. so when i’m feeling a bit too far removed from the big city, I check on this blog. eggcelent.
  • Peter Funch – photographer
    great conceptual photography. Funch plays with the concept of time and the decisive moment in his work, among other themes. [via ncbeets's tweet]
  • How to Save Newspapers (Or, Why the NYT Should Acquire Twitter) – Umair Haque – HarvardBusiness.org
    great article and he's dead on. The New York Times is in a precarious position, either charge ahead full steam or die swimming, like the rest of its peers. The good thing about the NYT is that they are the most forward looking news rag and buying twitter isn't a long shot by any stretch. Very interesting.
