The Forty Story (by Pentagram)

A boy’s entire life catalogued by Pentagram design.

Now that we’re in the real election season (since that hack Romney is the nominee), let’s remember Obama’s real agenda.

the most troubling part of all of this is the publisher’s response is a clear sign of what’s wrong. he doesn’t even see that repeating facts without attribution is a bad thing.

btw, I also love this writer’s style.

unwieldy:

As we were all taught in grade school and college, plagiarism isn’t okay. Even worse is attempting to defend it.

Yesterday, I wrote a short article about The $144,146,165 Button. I did the research via several sources, compiling it together to produce this interesting statistic. It was on the…

The Mine Kafon — invented by Massoud Hassani — is a cheap, wind-blown landmine clearance device made primarily from bamboo, plastic and iron. (Photo: Massoud Hassani)

As a child, Hassani’s playground was a field full of landmines. “When we were kids,” he explained, “we used to make these wind-powered toys and play with them on this desert full of explosives, and they’d get stuck out there.”

Those toys were the inspiration for his Mine Kafons. More.

This was an insane amount of fun to be a part of.

Maurice Sendak died on Tuesday. 

He left behind a world of wild things, little bears, goblins, and mysterious night kitchens. 

Yesterday, Riswold asked us to create a fitting send-off for Sendak.

We decided to go back to the world he created for us. We painted the walls, cut up everything we could get our hands on, and made a total mess of the 12 space (sorry, Jinnina).

Sixteen hours later, we’d recreated one of Sendak’s most iconic settings. And in the spirit of his work, we made it so everyone could be part of that world.

It’s a bittersweet goodbye, but it’s the least we could do for the man who inspired us to forever be wild things.

I was testing an app.

we love him so. rip, maurice sendak. (Taken with Instagram at Wieden + Kennedy)

What Joanna Weiss sidesteps is the rather sad (and blunt) reality that politicians like an avatar they can project onto on any part of the political spectrum.

Sage Advice of the Day: Henry Rollins, the relentlessly outspoken hardcore music icon — the Black Flag bearer of modern punk, if you will — recently participated in a “Letters to a Young American” project. What follows is an excerpt from Part 1 and Part 2.

“You’ll find in your life that sometimes your great ambitions will be momentarily stymied, thwarted, marginalized by those who were perhaps luckier; come from money; had more doors opened; where college was a given, not a student loan; it was something that dad paid for; where an ease and confidence in life was almost a birthright. Where for you, it was a very hard climb. … That happens all the time.

Just because you come from nothing, you must not let that be something that holds you back.”

Poignant, and more relevant than ever.
