A few of my favorite Blue Note album covers, which became known for their strong, yet simple visual and typographic treatments.
Loving the latest video from the midwest’s own, XV. Incredible production from Seven, and the Dark Knight reference takes it over the top for me. Check out U.F.C. on Vizzy’s mixtape, Zero Heroes.
One of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen done with HTML5 and CSS3, a fully animated clock, complete with super pressy social menus:

Jason Fried talks Basecamp, 37signals, and taking a product to the next level at @Chicago_CM.
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

A great new song and video from Frank Ocean and High5Collective.
Cavalier Essentials
“If Steve McQueen carried a beat-up leather duffle bag on the back of his motorcycle; what would be in it and how would the products look?”
Intrigued? Well, designer Taylor Pemberton, with the help of photographer Collin Hughes, have come up with an answer. Cavalier Essentials is a beautiful hand-crafted line of accessories & fine goods. To quote the website: “a line of vintage products designed for the rugged, yet sophisticated gentleman”.
What particularly stands out for me is the product packaging. It timelessly captures the style and attitude of that period. Products for the gentleman. These go along way in supporting the entire lifestyle vibe of the project.
Always a pleasure to see these self initiated projects.

My childhood dreams have finally come true. And the best part about the new Nike Air MAG is that each pair will be sold on eBay (150 per day) to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
