Our little Ella would go completely gaga over this: Barbouille Blackboard. (Don’t know who Barbouille is, go here!)
This Ain’t No Disco {it’s where we work}
It’s a well known fact that some agencies spend huge chunks of their hard earned money turning lifeless commercial spaces into bastions of creativity. These interiors provide insight as to the breadth and depth of their thinking and creative execution. They create spaces to envy. Places to shout about – loud. This Ain’t No Disco {it’s where we work} invites Agencies from across the world to show their inner sanctum and like Pandora’s Box, once you look inside nothing will ever be the same again.
(Above’s my current favorite: The office space of MSLK)

SERGE BLOCH : Opening Reception, Thursday January 31,2008
Oh, I wish I could go to the Opening of Serge Bloch’s Art Show, at Living with Art gallery, Soho, New York.
Serge Bloch is a contributing illustrator to several US publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, GQ, The Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, Scholastic, National Geographic Magazine and France Amerique: “A page of newspaper is like a wall of a gallery that hundreds of thousands of people can visit without being afraid to enter. You can be on a train, in bed or on a bench in the sun. But the exhibit is ephemeral because the following day, it’s gone. It’s become a piece of paper used to dry your boots or to peel vegetables”. Serge enjoys doing humorous work, and refers to it as a work of modest art.

Teach your kid about ‘volume’ early.
This inventive box is perfect for teaching children about an important mathematical concept: volume. Each side of the three-sided box cut out is lined with grids, so that children can measure the volume of items by counting the boxes. As aesthetically pleasing as it is educational, the box comes with a stand to display the cut out, almost like a piece of art.

Paula Scher Says Get Rid of ‘America’ and Ditch the “Star Spangled Banner,” But Keep the Flag
“Future States,” a rebranding of the US by Paula Scher. Unfortunately, the Monocle print piece is (still) only available to subscribers, but there’s a video component, Brand America, an interview with Scher conducted by Tyler Brûlé. In it, she advocates trashing several visual icons of the USA brand, including the “America” portion of our name. Which is funny, since she designed the book on America.

Personal data is as hot as nuclear waste
Personal data is as hot as nuclear waste: We should treat personal electronic data with the same care and respect as weapons-grade plutonium – it is dangerous, long-lasting and once it has leaked there’s no getting it back.
