Penguin Great Ideas Series

This image has no alt text

A while ago, for its 60th anniversary, Penguin Classics published its beautifully designed ‘Great Ideas’ series. Divided into five installments (philosophy, politics, science, etc.), the fifth is to be released this year. Each book is between 75-150 pages, with its own uniquely designed cover. They’re actually quite addictive to buy because of their fantastic price, not to mention the fact that the books themselves are great reads. I’m hoping to collect them all by the end of the year. Check out some of the series’ titles here.

Some awesome photography featured on the cover of this month’s ‘The Walrus‘. You can check out more of his work on the Foley Gallery website (1, 2). The magazine credits mention that he’ll be showing there again this fall. More pieces from an ‘06 show can be seen on the Joseph Bellows Gallery website as well.

TuneUp for iTunes

Just got wind of a new plug-in for iTunes called TuneUp. They just released the Mac software a couple days ago (PC version had already been up.) It’s supposed to do all the music library housekeeping for you. That includes cleaning mislabeled music (artist names, genres, track numbers, genres, etc.), finding missing cover art. It can also alert you of concert dates and pull in YouTube videos and news. It’s refreshing to see a new product with a clean-looking website too!
