“I don’t understand all these breasts right now. They don’t look like breasts, they look like someone’s taken a grapefruit half and inserted it under you skin. I mean, it doesn’t even bear any resemblance to what a natural breast looks like. But we’re starting to think this is what women should look like. And young girls are looking at these breasts and they think, ‘Oh, I need to go have my breasts done,’ because they’ve lost touch with what a real breast actually looks like. I find it fascinating, I find it disturbing, you could consider it more fascinating, because we’re becoming post-human. We are actually starting to manipulate our bodies, because we can, into a shape. We’re becoming our own art.”
—Tom Ford, interviewed on NPR.

So yeah, this is pretty freaking awesome.

Bonnaroo 2010: Mumford And Sons In Concert →
A few days ago I happened upon Mumford & Sons’ debut album, “Sigh No More.” To say it’s fantastic is an understatement. These guys are really good.
Take a listen to them live at Bonnaroo at NPR’s website, and if you like what you hear—trust me, you will—go and download their album.
You’re welcome.

Ah, Helvetica, that typeface, that subject of idle modernist worship, the most generic thing to ever elicit such strong emotional responses. Typographic tofu! All heil Max Miedinger! Pray towards Switzerland! Thank you, Helvetica!
Then came Helvetica Neue, son of Helvetica, the sequel to the…
I had no idea.

How To Save A Newsweekly in 5 Easy* Steps →
Derek Powazek offers some invaluable advice regarding the current state of the publishing industry. He writes:
Different mediums have different strengths. The web is just better than paper at delivering time-sensitive news. It’s idiotic to pretend otherwise. And paper is still good at things the web is not, especially in getting people to actually pay for it. The solution is to use each medium for what it’s good at.
He continues:
It’s never been print vs. web – it’s attention vs. apathy. A bunch of people who care about the same thing is the most powerful, rare, and wonderful thing in the universe. It doesn’t matter how they find each other – web, print, a great disturbance in the force – it only matters that they find each other, and that they can do something with that shared attention to make the world a better place.
The real enemy is apathy. When no one cares, things get ugly. And the good news for newsweeklies is that there are more people who care about what’s going on in the world now than ever. They’re more connected than ever. And they want to put that energy toward accomplishing something.
Derek really hits the nail on the head here. In a time where the publishing industry is going downhill fast, they need to take this opportunity (and it could be their last) to cater towards both mediums in the most logical ways possible. Assuming certain publishers are able to pull this off, I would gladly become a paying subscriber to both digital and printed content, assuming the quality of the content made it worth it—but until then, I suppose my expectations are too high.
