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).

wakerupper: Cool Custom Alarm App

wakerupper looks like fun. It's still in Beta, but I used it the other night when the battery in my cell phone was getting low. I use my cell as an alarm clock, so I went to wakerupper and had a custom alarm sent to my home phone the next morning. Pretty cool. In the wrong hands, this could be dangerous!

Great Creative: Honest


Contagious is a word that comes to mind after watching this video. The synergy between these two guys is unmistakable. They are cool in that they don't take themselves all super serious like so many people. They also don't claim to know it all, and I love the freedom with which they operate. I really like these guys and hope they continue to rock.

SpotDJ: Make Your Own Party Mix


Stanton Warriors make my toes tap. They make music which I believe is clasified as "house." I discovered a software called SpotDJ which allowed me to make music mixes. Using StantonWarriors as my music of choice, I developed a mix of their sounds. It's really long, and since I haven't listened to all this music, and since the boys is StantonWarriors have a case of potty mouth at times, be warned some of their remixes may have language that's not particularly appropriate for all audiences. If you're like me though, you listen to this type of music, for the most part, for the beat. So for me, unless it's full of bad lyrics and words, when an occasional bad word pops up, I am perfectly capable of not letting that become part of my fabric. I trust you understand and that you will not listen if you're concerned. If you want to play around with making your own mix, click the "get one" graphic. To play my mix right here on this blog, click the small arrow next to the words Stanton Warriors.

Hotel FOX: Lifestyle Art in Copenhagen

Volkswagon, in conjunction with the launch of their new VW Fox automobile, invited 21 international artists from the fields of graphic design, urban art and illustration to turn central Copenhagen's Hotel Fox into individual works of art—and as a result the world’s most exciting and creative lifestyle hotel. 61 rooms, to be exact. Each room is an individual piece of art. From whacky comical styles to strict graphic design. From fantastic street art and Japanese Manga to simply spaced out fantasies. Flowers, fairytales, friendly monsters, dreaming creatures, secrets vaults and more. Extra Large, Large, Medium and Small rooms. Fun.

Greg Pattillo: Beatboxing Flute Player

On the heels of what I believe is a rather lack lustre American Idol season that has a beatboxer still in the running, I must say that I am so tired of beatboxers. But Greg Pattillo is a bit different. Judging by the fact that some 4-1/2 million people have already seen this, I may in fact be the last to have heard about it. Or are you?
