We recently met some friends at Braeburn for an enjoyable birthday brunch.  It was a sunny day, there was a table big enough for all of us, we weren’t being hurried, the conversation was good.  A very nice time.  I wish I could say that I loved the food.
The vibe I get from reading through Braeburn’s [...]

I was listening this weekend to ‘On The Media’, one of my favorite radio shows, and heard this piece about artist Caleb Larsen and a recent sculpture of his entitled ‘A Tool To Deceive And Slaughter (2009)’.  The sculpture is an 8 inch black acrylic cube.  The cube is for sale on ebay.  Actually, it is [...]

The Toy Industry Association’s Toy Fair 2010 was just at New York’s Javitz center.  As the show was open during President’s Day I had the opportunity to run through it unfettered by babies or schedule conflicts.  I have been to many design fairs over the years but this was my first Toy Fair.  I was not [...]

I just last weekend went with some friends to the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.  I hadn’t been there in several years so when I received their invitation I figured it was high time I went for another run-through.  In retrospect… my time would have been better spent doing something else.  With the friends of course.
I [...]

Heinz has taken the french fry world by storm in the last couple days with the release of it’s new ketchup packet.  Public reaction has been positive to the point of elation.  “Thank goodness I can finally dip my fries!” and  “I am so glad the squirting tyranny is over!”.  Or something like that.  Anyway, [...]

Last week was the Spiring 2010 show of the New York International Gift Fair.  We did not have a booth this time but I went anyway for a quick survey of the current state of affairs. 
Unfortunately I was at the Gift Fair for only a short time.  And I was carrying a baby.  Why?  Well [...]

I have been thinking about the new ‘Raindrop Besace’ bag by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton.  And I think I love it.  Well… to clarify… I love it… because it is so confusing. 
It is, literally, a trash bag.  Except that it is not.  A neo-realist representation of a trash bag.  But done in glossy treated [...]

Apple, under the guidance of Steve Jobs, is one of the smartest brands out there.  Laser focused on the user experience, the incorporationof design and maintaining its message and identity over the entire scope of the brand.  Which is why the announcement of their latest product seems so surprising. 
I have always been a proponent of [...]

My creativity was weened on years of Star Wars obsession.  How can you be a kid in the 80’s and not love Chewbacca??  I also think Hello Kitty could be the cutest thing on the planet.  I couldn’t resist exploring this convergence of science fiction and cuteness.

I just finished watching Waltz With Bashir.  Better late than never.  I really liked it.  Waltz With Bashir is the 2008 film by Ari Folman documenting an episode in the 1982 Lebanon War.  It is autobiographical in that the storyline follows Folman as he tries to reconstruct his lost memories of involvement in that incident.  The event in question was [...]
