In the race for best iPhone recording application, there are over a dozen contestants but few finalists. After surveying a handful, we're placing Griffin's iTalk and Zarboo's SpeakEasy in the winner's circle. While neither application is flawless, both get kudos for interface design, ease of use and file tagging. Ever since I lost my digital recorder, I've resorted to using my iPhone for interviews and the occasional concert bootleg. For some time, I've used the free, ad-supported version of iTalk, which [...]

Projects are getting canceled, your design school ideals have nearly been hammered out of you by those schmucks in Marketing, and your job sucks, if you've even still got one. So step back, take a break, and watch this well-edited video of Dieter Rams and his 10 Design Commandments. In this economy, guy's the closest thing to Moses we've got. Dieter Rams, designer - Cold War Modern from Victoria and Albert Museum on Vimeo. via design sojourn (more...)
It's not exactly the MoMA, but a gallery showing at Michigan's Washtenaw Community College features work by an impressive lineup of industrial design luminaries, including the Eameses, Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf. "At the Junction: Industrial Design" also takes a close look at Michigan's own Allen Samuels, former Dean of U. Mich's School of Art & Design and a prolific industrial designer. Pictured above is his "Inflatable Solar Energized Disaster Shelter" and "Mobile Personal Hygiene Cart," just two of the [...]
The Laundry POD Greener Gadgets entry is an example of the kind of observant industrial design we need more of, from ID firm RKS: While re-engineering and re-designing a salad spinner, we learned resourceful women were buying salad spinners to wash their delicates. This sparked the idea that the salad spinner technology we innovated could be used to create a portable, hand-powered laundry machine that would be far more appropriate for the task, than a salad spinner. Another of RKS' [...]
This past Friday night was the third edition of CGM, this time at Cafe Ratia in Harajuku — I’m sure Danny Choo will have a massive wrap-up post soon enough. I again showed up with my good friend CheapyD, and we proceeded to drink a lot of beer, talk to a lot of people, and have a general good time. The images of me found in this post were taken by Jim Grisanzio — I’m really impressed with his photos [...]

Addressing the urgent need to green our built environment, Kjellgren Kaminsky Architects have conceived of a Super Sustainable City that re-envisions Gothenburg, Sweden as a future-forward ecotopia. Designed as a dense and interconnected urban area, the master plan incorporates everything from green rooftop gardens to water and energy harvesting roadways, towering solar arrays, and soaring wind turbines. These measures address the issues of density, energy, and food production, while staying true to the city’s architectural heritage. Read the rest of [...]
A really small act is able to cheer you up and increase your productivity: changing your desktop wallpaper at least once a month. And that's simply because no one likes to fall into a daily routine (even with such a small thing), and if you keep the same wallpaper for too long, you'll just get bored. Thinking about that, I've selected 35 gorgeous black wallpapers from my favorite websites. Some are photographs, some a illustrations, some are renders. But all of [...]

One of the greatest influences on Desktop Publishing was without doubt the Emigre Magazine. It was first published back in the 80's, more precisely in 1984, in the very beginning of computers, and lasted for over 2 decades, having its last issue in 2005. The primary goal of the magazine was to promote the typefaces created by Zuzana Licko, but ended up being a sort of icon to modern typography and desktop publishing because it was one of the first publications [...]
Morro designed by Rafael Roldao, Marcelo Damm, Renato Mosci and Giuliano Mello. LINK "It all started with a mess. And it was beautiful. Living in Rio, Brazil, a city surrounded by a bit of chaos here and there, favelas, and thinking that besides all that it works, we figured out that this mess was also functional. And how to incorporate it into a project, how to build upon it? Perhaps even more important, how to make it socially and ecologically [...]

Scott Semple asks: Like crack cocaine, we are using a little more of each of your products each day… Now I’m at the point where I have to pause and ask myself, “Is my next piece of communication best disseminated as an email or a comment on a milestone in Basecamp? An email or a note to staff in Backpack? An email or a note in Highrise? An email or a chat message?” I’ve also just enabled the global RSS feeds [...]

Changing office as you age ..."No matter what anyone says, turning 60 is no fun. Some 58 million baby boomers no longer find it as appealing when they hear The Who's Roger Daltrey sing the line from "My Generation": "I hope I die before I get old."AdvertisementDespite the popular media images of a more vibrant senior population, physical needs will change for most of us as we age. One thing that becomes apparent is that our bodies don't work in the [...]

Frag's Lyo seat by Gordon Guillaumier is a hammock-like chair made from a single piece of leather with a slit in the backrest that allows the leather to provide a bowl for the seat. Arik Levy's Hoop sofa for Living has the look of a daybed in a basket-like framework. A mass of colourful cushions is set upon a tubular metal structure that lends airiness to the piece, which can be used indoors or out. The sleek Galets series by [...]
