YES! Pop + Shorty’s Geek Love Continues!
Featured Thank You
Last week I featured talented Mikey Burton and I just discovered this “Thank You Illustration” he did. Caption: I was featured on SwissMiss! In honor of the occasion, I drew a little self-portrait with some Swiss stuff (and a few clouds too). Thanks so much!
You are so welcome. And thank you for making me smile.
CreativeMornings Video: Michael Bierut on Clients
Our speaker at the January 2010 CreativeMornings was Michael Bierut of Pentagram hosted at the fabulous Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn. It was our biggest CreativeMornings audience yet with 300 (!) NYC creatives attending. Enjoy Michael’s insightful presentation in the video below. It’s a brand new talk on the subject of “Clients”. A big giant thank you to Roland Lazarte who once again has been generously offering his video and editing skills.
Gullshrooms
These Gullshrooms by Amy Ross are part of Booooooom’s Haiti Fundraiser. They made me smile.
Gear Ring
Now here’s a brandnew cool gift idea Kinekt’s Gear Ring. I had the chance to play with one and I can honestly say, it’s quite addictive to spin those gears. The Gear Ring is made from high quality matte stainless steel. It features six micro-precision gears that turn in unison when the outer rims are spun (as can be seen in the video below). It is currently available for purchase in four standard US ring sizes: 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Unhappy Hipster
Today’s unhappy hipster post/caption made me laugh out loud. Unhappyhipster.com has been heavily mentioned on twitter over the past few days and I am dying to know who the brilliant copy writer is behind it all. I can simply *not* understand why the creator would stay anonymous. This ist is by far the most brilliant copywriter self-marketing tool I have come across in a long time.
Dear unhappyhipster-copywriter-genius, reveal yourself and accept my hat tip!
minimalissimo
Just discovered Minimalissimo, a blog that celebrates minimalist aesthetics. Sites likes Minimalissimo make me happy. Period.

Holstee
Checkers Fin by Holstee. The cowboy-inspired design keeps your neck warm on those breezy days without the weight of a scarf. When it warms up throw it around your wrist, on your head or any other creative way. (Our little Ella loves to wear hers on her head.)

Good Ideas Salon: Seth Godin
Ideas and trends news site PSFK hosts another Good Ideas Salon on the morning of February 4 at Soho House with special guest Seth Godin. Good Ideas Salons are designed to bring likeminds together to share ideas and positivity around certain subjects. For this intimate event, Seth will present his latest book Linchpin and will openly discuss with the audience their experiences as linchpins at work.
PSFK will also orchestrate some (opt-in) match making where attendees will have the opportunity to meet peers who can share knowledge with them and in turn become indispensable at work.
I am thrilled to be attending this event, unless swissmister decides to come early. Let’s hope not.
