Disclosure - What’s In Your Head
Moving forward while looking back, the sounds they used in this track remind me of vintage Trentemoller ca. his Naked Music days. A great, genre-bending summer jam, dipping into deep house, techno, and even dubstep a bit.
Glacier National Park
On May 11, 1910 one million acres of land in Montana became Glacier National Park.
Today I came across some very interesting font designers that make new use of the standard capabilities of fonts.
The first is the Kapitza foundry which has created a portfolio of fonts that re-examine the dingbat or wingding category of graphic elements in font format. They’ve made some useful tools for designers (used much like vector files) containing illustrations that can be combined to create organic patterns and designs. Kapitza has also created a pattern generator app for the iPad using similar aesthetics. Fonts featured here are Orbit and Wave - via PSFK
Next is FF Chartwell from TK Type. This font uses the capabilities of the OpenType font format to simplify the process of creating charts and graphs. The font interprets the characters as data input to produce appealing visualisations that are continuously editable (a bonus for those designers using illustrator/photoshop to create infographics). Samples shown are from FontShop and the foundry’s description page - via FontShop May Newsletter

I receive a lot of questions about bags and backpacks. I usually send people in the direction Tim Adam Bags, and with good reason too. I’ve had my Tim Adam backpack for about two years now, and still use it basically 7 days a week. The roll top design allows for a lot of space, but keeps the bag from looking odd during those times when there’s not much in it. The quality and durability of the materials and construction allow the bag to be enjoyed for years. Each bag is hand made by Tim in Portland.
Tim is relaunching his website on May 1st and to help celebrate we’re teaming up to give away a new backpack. To enter all you have to is reblog this post, likes will not enter you in the drawing. You must also be following Tim Adam and NOVH on tumblr. Once the winner is selected and contacted they will be able to pick out a bag of their choice.
Contest will close Friday May 4th at 11:59 PM. Winner will be selected at random and posted here.
Just a couple more hours!
One of the insidious lessons about TV is the meta-lesson that you’re dumb. This is all you can do […] When in fact there are parts of us … that are a lot more ambitious than that. And what we need… is seriously engaged art that can teach again that we’re smart.
When a work appears to be ahead of its time,
it is only the time that is behind the work.
