Don't KEEP CALM and CARRY ON


Olly Moss made me laugh. He does design and drawing and wit and things, here.



The chair that is also a bookcase. Cunning.


Some italian chaps have created the ultimate combo. Well, not quite the ultimate combo. That, of course, would be the perfect pairing of a cigarette with a crisp, moonlit night. That said, it’s quite a combo and ‘nobody and co’ who did it are here.


Luke....I'm your Father, oh and I am from Poland


Found this on a blog by a person only known as Shivadog. Sounds impressive doesn’t he(or she)? Here’s his(or her) blog for you to judge.


New York, December 5, 1933


Rockefeller Center and RCA Building from 515 Madison Avenue. I found this on http://butdoesitfloat.com/ so if you like it you’ll find lots of other interesting things on their site. They won’t all be awesome shots of NY but it will be worth your while. Promise.


♥ My Soma Rush ♥


This is my bike. It’s a fixed wheel Soma Rush. It’s black. With white tyres. It’s bloomin' beautiful I reckon. I bought it from the Deus guys in Sydney - That’s about all I have to say about that really.


Vancouver is Awesome, apparently

Shit this Expo 1986 logo for Canadian Design is hot. Apparently if you live near Value Village at 7350 Edmonds Street in Burnaby (presumably Vancouver) then you can get one. If you do live there get one for me would ya. Here’s the VIA website.

Talk to me BBC. Or at least tweet to me.

So I follow the BBC and the BBC Sport on Twitter. They don’t tweet back to me. They don’t seem to tweet back to anyone. It’s the headline or the first line of copy from the article. Is this how I am going to consume news from now on? The first 140 characters of any article is all I seem to need to know about any given chunk of newsworthynews. I never click on the link to read more.


They could do more couldn’t they? John Snow at least comments ON the news rather than just tells us what the news is. Richard bacon invites debate about the content of his radio show.


Maybe we don’t really want them to tweet back. We like them being the faceless corporation. And maybe people do click on the link and read more. But they will get left behind on Twitter as more people follow more people. I see them as a bit spammy sometimes. Getting in the way of more interesting unpaid journalists in the tweetersphere. Will I unfollow though? Nah, probably not. But I might.
