  • Mad Honey – wait, what?
  • Looking to the sky reveals much about what’s happening on the ground – flights to Europe are at night partly because of the jetstream? I call BS and say it is just a nice coincidence. But what do I know…
  • “But we’re respecting the DNA of the house. We don’t want to be a fashion brand.” – Alessio Lillocci, Canali’s first Creative Director. As one should.
  • Cities For People
  • “And this is why good urban wayfinding matters – because when it becomes muddled, disjointed, it triggers a loss of confidence in people. Once that happens, there are all manner of consequences. Buildings need to staff up information desks, tourists jump on the crammed hot Metro rather than walk, people give up on life and throw themselves in the Seine (at least it’s clean now).” – Andrew Tuck, EiC, Monocle
  • Dissecting the Denkiburo – Hop, skip and jump to get to this article, and along the way read an NIH paper about how a woman used one and had complications with her pace maker. Ya think?!
