Me: Like, does Rhode Island have any coast?
Mike: Are you kidding? You just had to say 'island' when you asked that.
Go to your calendar and put a big red circle around the 4th of every month.

The Sound of Fonts
Graphic designers love music.
TypoLyrics is a book put together by the German typography/design blog Slanted. The English translations are sometimes a little rocky but it is clear that this is a pretty awesome project. Artists spanning the globe contributed to this publication by creating a type-driven design inspired by a bit of lyrics. The book is split up by font family (Typo) and genre...

Download my summer
Today I felt a breeze so nice I thought I was going to start crying. Clearly summer isn’t even close to over.
Summer Skin. The first mix of Other People’s Music presented by Lions and Vultures. It’s that breezy moment for seventeen minutes.

I will be traveling for business from Sunday night until Wednesday afternoon. How grown up am I?? I am pretty nervous about the whole event so I have been listening to Crime in Stereo’s The Impending Glory of American Adulthood on repeat.

We Are Synapse - new website →
We Are Synapse is from Australia and they are incredibly hard to pin down and even harder to ignore. As someone who still buys CDs I am especially drawn to their endless examples of album artwork.

WatchEtsy’s latest How-Tuesday features Meg Allen Cole making a way rad piece of wall art from a random tree branch. I have always had a bit of a blog-crush on Meg. I watch her Threadbanger show Decor It Yourself religiously, I check her Nest blog often enough, and I lay awake imaging her and I being crafty together several nights a week.

So, I am thinking about using OpenDrive to host files online. If anybody has used them in the past I would really like to hear about it, but they seem pretty solid so far.
