Manhattan’s urban grid is a vaunted model of simplicity, a rectilinear plan of numbered streets intersecting numbered avenues.

And if you're looking for Santa Claus, turn on the Magnetic North setting. (Because, you know, Santa weighs 10,000 tons and is made of manganese.)

I wonder what sort of psychological profile one could draw from my favorite childhood possessions. I neither played nor followed football, but clung to my NFL lunchbox that showed all the team helmets with their different insignia…

JH,
I really like this web site and the stuff on it. Wondering if you saw the exhibit at the Met. Museum , about a year ago of medieval manuscripts books filled with fantastic "data Visualization" but having to do with bible, early medicine and science etc...amazing ! I couldn't find the catalog online but it might be on their site. a

An Acropolis Italic sighting is a rare event, so even at 48 pixels I couldn’t help but notice that George Garrastegui used the font’s letter G in his Twitter icon. George was kind enough to send me the original file, though it’s not the mere design fragment I’d assumed: it’s a photo of...

As with so many things I like, Weaver’s work is difficult to classify: design? illustration? art? The term “collage” might do as a formal description, but it’s a shabby word to describe Weaver’s mysterious inventions, which so successfully bypass both the senses and the intellect and go straight to ...

When Abi Huynh sent me this image, I thought at first that it was a website graphic in the prevailing style: a digital rendering of high-gloss black acrylic, against a reflective white surface, in that "web 2.0" style that will not go away. But no! It’s an actual artifact...
