- Hell Green
Japan photography trip blog from Shortstraw cohort Elle. I kinda wish I was in Japan, right about now. with the Greenroom Festival coming up.
- 100 Abandoned Houses
haunting and beautiful collection of abandoned houses in the Detroit area. from the "about" page: "For years the area had signs advertising the redevelopment that was about to take place. It finally began to happen, with the construction of the new ballpark for the Tigers, and Ford Field for the Lions. New condos, and town homes began to appear amidst the rubble of burned out mansions turned apartments. Some of the houses were so large they became “loft condos”. As the entertainment district flourished, and Brush Park began to transform into something new, I realized the other approximately 135 square miles of Detroit was largely ignored. The excitement about Detroit’s “rebirth” took center stage, while much of the rest of the city was becoming largely abandoned" [via Good]
- Introducing Typekit « The Typekit Blog
all browsers will soon support a wide range of fonts. but using fonts on the web (in most cases) is a direct violation of the font's copyright, as linking to a font gives the viewer a direct way to download the font . It's like using a font to print a book and then including the font with the printed book. Enter TypeKit, a web app that designers and developers subscribe to. The service has a collection of typefaces that the dev can link to in their jscript and TypeKit handles all the background witch's brew of delivering the font to the end user's screen, without that iser being able to download the font package. Interesting idea! I wonder what the tech looks like behind the service and the susbcription fees.

fine art, architecture and furniture all clash here. great work! that green staircase? i'll have one, please.
- greg.org: Obamas slowly replacing staid art in the White House with modern art
How cool is this?: "According to the very slowly reported story [1] in the Wall Street Journal, the Obamas have been selecting modern and contemporary art for the White House from among pieces in national and museum collections. The artists they requested includes several African American artists, including the wonderful DC abstractionist Alma Thomas, whose paintings from the Hirshhorn are already installed in the White House's private quarters. But they've also chosen plenty of white contemporary artists, too, though the Journal obviously doesn't identify them as such: works by Ed Ruscha, Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Nevelson and Jasper Johns all came from the National Gallery, for example." – cue the old white guy rage
- Guggenheim Guadalajara: Not a Dead Deal? – CultureGrrl
The Guggenheim Foundation has been planning to build a new museum in Guadalajara for the past 7 years or so. A museum to rival Bilbao's. but apparently it's dead in the water, or close to it. sucks, the arch drawing is beautiful. and it would have been awesome to have modern art museum within 2000 miles of where i live.

- Chávez creates overnight bestseller with book gift to Obama
"A 36-year-old historical tract attacking the imperialist exploitation of Latin America has become an improbable overnight bestseller after the Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez abruptly presented a copy to Barack Obama." – add Obama's moves to open relations with Cuba and I don't know how much more happier I could be about having Obama in office. This guy has a shopping list of wrongs (our country has done over the past 40 years) and he is righting every one of them. Obama is an inspirational dude. I know I've linked it before, but for a good primer on the subject of exploitation of Latin American read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman".
- Voules Random
great indie electronic mp3 blog. tons of great music here. try Wolfy vs. Projections. reminds of the old 'Moon Tribe' years, albeit my kind of electronic music stops at royksopp. if you can dance to it, i probably won't dig it. it took my 10 years to appreciate Daft Punk.
- Shawn MORTENSEN ::: PHOTOGRAPHY
amazing body of work by Mortensen who recently passed away at the age of 43 (?!). Mortensen seems to have been at the epicenter of several different underground art movements over his 20+ yrs shooting. His list of subjects is *deep*. more info over at SuperTouch
- SuperTouch » FIRST LOOK: “McGEE, TEMPLETON, PETTIBON” AT CIRCLECULTURE GALLERY
McGee, Templeton, Pettibon. curated by Aaron Rose. great photos from the Berlin show. put this show on the very long list of "things I'd do if i had endless loochie"
- Legwork Studio
ridiculously sweet website from a design shop in Denver. love the scaffolding content. For extra bonus, peep the "about" video, redonkulous. [via Eli's tweet]

- Tierney Gearon's "Exposure" exhibit
i'm really digging on the in-camera double-exposure photographs of Tierney Gearon. Amazing stuff. Some of them combine to create images where it's hard to tell which photo is which. really nice. [via every photography blog]
- Epic Adventures
Josh and Jocelyn, two youngerish people (not sure how old you guys are?!). They've both just quit their jobs and are getting ready to come down to Mexico to scout around for a new place to live. And their documenting it all on their blog. very cool. definitely worth checking in on them. I really hope they document the highs and lows in their adventure. Interesting experiment.
- Christopher Hewitt
A portfolio site for a Director/Designer/Photographer. Site design by Suprb. I really like the super minimal sites these guys do. Lots of javascript going on in this site and lots of "scaffolding" content. Sometimes the text re-wrapping is a bit disorientating, but I really like the one-page feel.
- ZumoDrive – Hybrid Cloud storage for all your documents and media
pretty bad-ass personal cloud file storage. check out the demo. amazing piece of software. this is how google's G-drive should work once it finally arrives.
- The Crisis of Credit Visualized
"The goal of giving form to a complex situation like the credit crisis is to quickly supply the essence of the situation to those unfamiliar and uninitiated. This project was completed as part of my thesis work in the Media Design Program, a graduate studio at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California." – incredible animated presentation to explain those big scary words we've all heard recently: sub-prime mortgage, collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps, etc….

- cody simpkins & gato heroi | video
really nice video of cody simpkins rocking a gato heroi. the soundtrack is worth it alone. the surfing is stellar. if there was a bar that projected this video on to a large wall and put it on repeat all night, well, I'd go to that bar. and not talk to anyone. just sip my drink and watch this.
- Your Mom's In My Business: A New Show By Kevin Lyons | Kitsune Noir has photos of a Kevin Lyons show from last year. Amazing show. Kevin combines nerdy new york intellectualism with hip-hop and reggae vernacular and lyrics. The results are hilarious. Dude has a *good* sense of humor. Kevin, if you're reading this: I got a new copy of that Beatsie Shake Your Rump 12 inch, after I played yours out. I'm sorry, you can have the new one, 10 years is better than never.
- YouTube – Did You Know?
the progression of information technology. great animated statistical presentation on how fast the world is either growing or getting smaller, depending on how you see a thing. one thing is certain: the American Empire is most certainly now over. Hat tip to Josh and Jocelyn
- iamnatasha
now this is a slick resumé site. so miminal yet so nice. the scaffolding content is beautagious. designed by Eli Horne the king of "scaffolding" content.
- YouTube – Joaquin Phoenix Odd Letterman appearance – 02/11/2009
absolutely hilarious interview. Joaquin is reverberating at a completely different wavelength than the required wavelength for being interviewed on a tv program. i understand why he seems so out of it. He just refuses to change his wavelength. good for him.

- An Introduction to CSScaffold | Konigi
"a framework that lets you focus on fitting the CSS to your design, rather than the reverse, and gives you the ability to focus on meaningful abstractions and naming rather than structural ones, so you can easily make changes in the future." – dynamic css framework. pretty bad-ass and definitely the now/future of css

a huge amount of good resources for writing css.
- Facebook's New Terms Of Service: "We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever."
facebook changes their terms of service, basically they are copyrighting anything you upload, including family photos. i don't know how sites still get away with this bullshit. i know Obama won and all, but maybe it's time for him to call up Ralph Nadar to be our "consumer protections" czar.
- Online Backup from Backblaze
$5 per computer per month, unlimited storage. nice price. we'll see how this stacks up to Google G-drive once that launches. anyone have any good advice on cloud-off-site backups for family home movies and photos? i back up regularly in-house but now with Lil' Man here I feel a renewed urgency to back-up my raw video/photos off-site.
- Suie Paparude
pretty nice band site, in russian, but the design and functionality make this an interesting link. very clever. i like. and the illustrations cool.
