A creative dumping ground for issues that interest me personally and professionally, with the thought they may interest you too. Issues such as the business of design, the design of business, the design of objects, design strategy, creative direction, innovation, creativity, thought leadership, observations, as well as recommendations, mid-century modern decorative arts and architecture, and the state of my thinking (and currently the state of my heart).

Brandon Todd Wilson is an excellent designer, and contrabrand is an awesome design site. Brandon's work is incredible, and I'm just making the connection from him and a previous BarryBlog post. I tried to mash up some of his work in my post graphic in homage to his excellent work, but unfortunately this doesn't do justice. Check out his blog. His work. Some of his skectches. And some rootbeer.
The website for his 9 to 5, verse, is also special.

Okay, so two out of three of today's posts are not at all about design. This is mainly because I have been thinking and pontificating way too much of late about all types of things, plus my friend Chris's blog has been AWOL, so I needed a break. In that spirit, I offer you Sprintcuts at Waitless.org. Save a ton of time. (Actual times may vary.)
Waitless. That's even more fun as you consider I found this via design float. Get it? I crack myself up sometimes. I'm a poet and I don't know it.

Design Float, in a nutshell, is basically a niche version of Digg.com, but speciffically for design related content. It's a community driven news aggregator that collects design-related content from across the web. The goal: to categorize design related content into articles in order of importance/relevance as decided by the community. I find it useful. You might too.
Also, there's a live feed version if that's of interest to you.
