Thank you Steve Jobs. We wish you well.
Think Different. Just the words give me a lump in my throat. Not just for the concern over the health of Mr. Jobs, but rather for the inspiration that his company has given me for so many years. I’m not talking about the more recent innovations and products, such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. [...]
Reaching For The Stars | Space Shuttle Atlantis
Please excuse the mammoth size of the above stamps. I didn’t want anyone to miss the beautiful detail of the art or to miss the impact of this special day. I was born after man first propelled himself beyond the gravitational pull of Earth, into orbit, and finally landing and walking on the moon. Nonetheless, [...]

Apple Care | It’s In The Box
You can say what you will about Apple Inc. and their holier-than-thou attitude- you may not even like their products (hard to believe though). One thing they have hands down over the competition (of any product, in any market) is their customer service. I’ve owned Apple computers since getting out of school and I cannot [...]

Original Penguin Fall 2010 Photoshoot | Behind The Scenes
Getting the details right at the Fall 2010 Original Penguin photoshoot A brand that I hold in high regard and close to my heart is Original Penguin. Around since the 1950′s, Original Penguin has remained a constant- always cool and true to it’s brand heritage. From what I’ve seen so far of the coming Fall [...]
Typewriters | Vintage Communication
I’ve held onto this picture of William Faulkner’s Underwood portable typewriter for a while- mostly because I just liked the photo, but the machine itself is a beauty too. The typewriter, though a relic of times past, must have been a real beauty to use. You can almost hear the metal hammers smacking against the [...]
Ponoko | Laser-Cut Design Manufacturing
Wooden bank by WoodMarvels Hailed by some as the future of manufacturing, laser-cut manufacturing is being made accessible to the masses by the guys at Ponoko via the convenience of your own computer. Although Ponoko is based in Wellington New Zealand (with an outpost in California), by uploading one’s own product designs to the Ponoko [...]
