I'm a father to a boy named Jackson, husband to G, and a principal at the design firm MM in San Francisco. Thanks for stopping by.
Something Cool Every Day
This is a noble undertaking, forcing yourself to make something cool every day. Props to Mark Weaver.
The view (for now)
My soon to be gone view from the office (breaking ground across the street). Damnit.
Louise Fili
Always have been a fan of Louise's work, and could only imagine how amazing her work space is. Thanks to Design Sponge now we don't have to. Make sure you click through as this is only some of the images, there's also an interview with her as well.
The Book Cover Archive
Every once and awhile you find a site like this. One that you wish you've had all along One that once seen, you know you will love forever.
Ben Pieratt and Eric Jacobsen both deserve a big round of applause for creating this baby. You can navigate covers via Author, Designer, Illustrator (etc...)...but even the fonts used in the design. Now thats some good thinking. Not to mention a new waste of time for me.
Check it out.
Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Lens
Any day now, when I have an extra grand laying around, I am going to get this lens. These photos from Flickr member
brunogiliberto demonstrate the power of this lens quite beautifully. Amazing.
Milton Friedman - Greed
via youtube.com
Is it just me or is Milton high?
Very interesting how this video is making its rounds on the internet, and how the conservative blogs are extolling the virtues of Friedman. Seems glaringly obvious to me that what we are now experiencing is due to the flaws of "man pursuing his own individual pursuits".
To say that the State has never contributed to innovation is far from the truth. Take for instance the Internet. The early phases of the internet existed solely within the State system for nearly 30 years (research, development, military and procurement) before private companies capitalized on its potential.
What I would like to know, is of the biggest Fortune 500 companies, how many of them have thrived without the help of government subsidies.
Don't drink the Kool-aid.
