• Posted VIDEO: Intuition Is Underrated to Speaker Series
  We know: finally. (It's a tech adventure at SPD.) Video of Arem Duplessis' sold-out Speakeasy night, "Intuition is Underrated." Wonder what SPD Annual got Arem interested in magazine design? Who inspired him? Want to know more about the thinking behind...

  It's been some time since SPD requested mounted boards as part of the Annual submissions package, but views of the new book out from CITY magazine, "CITY: A Photography Retrospective, Vol. 1" brought some nostalgia for the days when we...
• Posted Candy-Colored News to What Are You Looking At?
  Marumushi's Newsmap is a visual stunner that seems, on first look, like the answer for any over-worked, time- and attention-deficient person headed out to a cocktail party: stories from Google's News Aggregator, laid out in blocks of color, treemap fashion,...
• Commented on "New E-Newspaper Reader Echoes Look of the Paper"

• Commented on "Rolling Stone" to Shrink
  And we'd just been ruminating at HQ that the "Observer" story in July was a hoax. ( http://tinyurl.com/5kua4d ) Did they really mail this out to readers? Focus groups by mail now? This is sad....
• Commented on Powerful Web Photojournalism
  Jeremy!!! I was gonna post about this! The Olympic shots from the Opening Ceremony, especially, so amazing. The tessellations of all those performers ( http://tinyurl.com/5u8pke ), almost more impressive in the photo shots than the live video. Definitely Favorite New...
• Commented on "Ruptured? Get Relief This Proven Way!"
  I really wish we knew more about that "Cartoon to Success" ad up there. That sounds like a serious life plan we should be advocating here. TJ, these are FANTASTIC!...

  My favorite Olympics ever! I love that the Flickr group for post-1960s doesn't include that 2012 London logo that was giving everyone seizures... ( http://tinyurl.com/25py4d ) Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Paul....
