Neat series on turning a shipping container into a box office.
Just discovered Mitchell Snyder (architect) and his well-documented blog on his house renovation. This shot is taken from his garage and while you can’t see it, the OSB wall has a dark-gray pocket door separating the workspace from the entryway. Nicely done!
Neat kitchen remodel found over on Dwell. I love the sunken spatual / utensil jars in the countertops.
This is an incredible tale of a clever remodel. Located somewhere here in Portland, this couple couldn’t “afford the 40% down required to build a new house, the couple instead opted for a FHA 203K renovation loan that let them put just 3% down—and hired architect Ben Waechter of local firm Atelier Waechter to give the place a massive facelift.”
Awesome Mark Twain meets Google logo today.

—Black Star "You Already Knew"
Black Star is recording an Aretha Franklin tribute album. Man!
Everything about this video is well done. 2 sons seeks out their Dad’s 1965 Chevy Impala (in a sweet almond-white by the way) with expectedly awesome results. If they just ended it without it being a commercial, even better. Makes me want to get one! Listen to that muffler, sheesh.
This is kind of exicting tech news - the new version of Google Maps allows you to see floor plans. I can really only think of airports where I’d use this but who knows.
James Van Doren, the man behind Vans dies today at the age of 72.
Amazing! This takes Origami to a whole ‘nother (that was for you, Arcellus) level.
The Paper Fox project by Jeremy Kool
Adrian Johnson has some great, simple illustrations. And his logo is incredible. I was also interested to learn that he’s the createive force behind those cheeky ads for American Express. Here I was thinkign it was Frank Chimero and his edgy lines.
Mike McQuade not only has one helluva last name but also some solid creative work. From copywriting (Exhibit A) to reserved identity design, his style has a wide range.
I was talking about this over the T-giving break but thought I should make a post about it. I found this image from The Oatmeal about Netflix’s woefully crappy list of Watch Instantly movies. Seriously - step it up guys!
Awesome concrete-meets-steel rings from a Menswear brand called BeatPoet. Not sure about the price or availability but like the darker of the two. Wonder how they stand up to rain…
