swissmiss hearts helvetica
I finally had a chance to see Helvetica, the movie. I absolutely loved it. My favorite part was when Lars Mueller walked Gary and his team through the streets of London (?) pointing at helvetica sightings. I agree with his statement that “Helvetica is the perfume of the city!”
Erik Spiekermann was priceless. His comments made me laugh out loud.
Hat tip to Gary Hustwit and his team. He was at the screening and answered questions. What a warm, funny, down to earth guy. Refreshing to see that he managed to stay so humble, considering the amazing and well-deserved success of his documentary!

Pangea Day Needs Your Videos!
In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it’s easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that — to help people see themselves in others — through the power of film.
On May 10, 2008 — Pangea Day — sites in New York City, Rio, London, Dharamsala, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Kigali will be videoconferenced live to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.
Of course, movies alone can’t change the world. But the people who watch them can. So following May 10, 2008, Pangea Day organizers will facilitate community-building activities around the world by connecting inspired viewers with numerous organizations which are already doing groundbreaking work.
Make a film and register today at pangeaday.org. Then, upload your video on youtube.
If you’d like to host a screening or learn how you can get involved, please visit pangeaday.org.

busy schedule
What did you do today?” I ask my daughter over dinner.
“Nothing,” she replies.
Never mind the breakfast, tv, painting, wrestling with her brother, snack time!, running, jumping, decorating boxes, making cards, checking the mail, more snacks – this time yogurt, nap time, groggy wake-up, riding in the car, ice skating, play time, dinner…
And that is the idea behind “Busy Schedule.” A toddler tee on a rich navy American Apparel shirt.
nimis | giant drift wood sculptures
In 1980 the artist and arthistorian Lars Vilks started to work on Nimis, a construction of driftwood and rests from the cutting areas. Nimis (lat. “too much”) is situated on the peninsula of Kullaberg in the south of Sweden – now an independent state Ladonia. When Vilks started to work with hammer and nail at Nimis his ideas were rather vague, but he had in mind to make a meetingplace between theory and practice.
