Since the ’80s, I’ve been using the primitive Campmor catalog as my defacto guide to outdoor gear. In recent years, my purchases have moved online, but I still love getting that tissue-papery off-white zine. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see a giant callout to the @Campmor Twitter account, but there’s still something that… Continue reading Signs of the Twipocalypse :: @Campmor

Not Quite Free
I still have not read Chris Anderson‘s book Free: The Future of a Radical Price, most likely because it is still sitting in my Amazon cart. The book examines the economy of free, and how it is evolving in today’s market. Whenever he speaks on this topic, as I saw him do at SXSW, he… Continue reading Not Quite Free
99 Luft Lanterns
These lanterns caught my eye near Chinatown on my latest visit to San Francisco. You can check the rest of my pics in my SF set on Flickr.
Photos from 2009 SXSW
Things are still getting back to normal after an inspirational trip to the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, TX. I spent 4 amazing days learning, talking, and building relationships with my fellow social media hipster doofus web geeks – oh yeah! I got my photos uploaded to Flickr last night, so I went ahead… Continue reading Photos from 2009 SXSW
Driveway Hopscotch
I took this shot during a family game of hopscotch in the driveway.
Twitter Glitter :: Small Bursts of July 4th Goodness
I just got back from the fireworks store where I found this “Twitter Glitter” fountain by TNT fireworks. I couldn’t pass up this explosive which shares a name with the popular microblogging service. What are the odds it goes Fail Whale on me tonight and ends up a dud?
You Can’t Miss This Meter
The parking meters around here are such a drag – all gray and utilitarian…like a grumpy uncle. But the meters in Montréal have flair, and flaunt it even on cloudy days. They are cheery, and literally smile for loonies and toonies.
Dean and Doreen in The Sports Car
Ahh, another vintage odd-shaped children’s book – and only 29 cents! I found this morsel in the same stack as my Golden Shape Books, and it’s got a whole different vibe and style. This is probably because it was published in 1970, and was printed in the Netherlands (so how did I end up with… Continue reading Dean and Doreen in The Sports Car
2008 March Madness :: PhotoShop Bracket
Each March for the last few years, I’ve been throwing down with some of the best designers in amazing PhotoShop battle modeled after the NCAA basketball tournament. I looooooves me some PhotoShop tennis, and adding a format like this makes it extra fine. This happens over in The Arena at Flashkit.com, where the rest of… Continue reading 2008 March Madness :: PhotoShop Bracket
Dr. Seuss Collection Organized by Spectrum
While searching for a particular Dr. Seuss book the other day, I noticed there was a wide range of colors on the bindings. Inspired by chotda’s rainbow bookshelves, I quickly threw the Seussian volumes into their proper ROYGBIV order (I left all the white ones on the right). Not a mind-blowing display, but Coop liked… Continue reading Dr. Seuss Collection Organized by Spectrum
