The Real Iron ChefSaturday night was a celebration for Joy’s birthday. We gathered at Ichiban’s Japanese Steak House. Joy drank booze out of a ceramic Budda with a straw in his belly.

I rose exceptionally early yesterday, with a hangover and a desire to settle down with black coffee and a copy of Harper’s. Maybe I could repel the morning cold with the tight arguments of …
Too much workingDamn deadlines keeping me from posting proper. Frantically coding to the finish line of another Friday. Listening to the frenetic The Streets “Original Pirate Material“. Great record. Got all my hair whacked off at the Aveda School today. That place is nuts. 400 white lab coat wearing girls running around spraying each other …
Daily design for the avant garde soul For the budding typographer on your holiday shopping list, might I recommend this sleek calendar designed by Kit Hinrichs. Each month highlights a classic type with a brief description. It’s more of an art piece really then a calendar that you would want to write all over, but …
