Moleskine notebooks for Kindles
Posted in: UncategorizedMoleskine has introduced a great new product for Kindle owners — the Moleskine Kindle Cover with Reporter-Style Notebook:
I like it because it’s a terrific theft deterrent. While a Kindle is enticing to would-be thieves, a scribbled-in journal holds much less appeal. Since its exterior is identical to that of a regular Moleskine notebook, it doesn’t call attention to itself the way other Kindle covers do:
My guess is that the Moleskine company will go on to create similar products like this one for the Apple iPad and maybe the Nook and Sony Ebook Reader. At least, I hope they do. Electronic book readers are fantastic ways to reduce clutter on bookshelves. I also recommend audio books to anyone looking for ways to reduce the number of books taking up shelf space in your home.
Until Moleskine comes out with other book-reader notebooks, check out this hack for creating your own and other cool things to do with a Moleskine notebook, via Treehugger.

pThea href=”http://www.canontradeshows.com/expo/east10/” Medical Design amp; Manufacturing/a industry group (MDM) has series of trade shows annually in four US cities Boston, New York, Minneapolis and Anaheim. I attended the Medical show at the Javits; The extremely high tolerance parts, finely tuned software interfaces, and new manufacturing processes on display always amaze me./p
pThe show is a great opportunity for designers to connect with scientists, doctors, contract manufacturers, clients and industry leaders from around the world./p
pThe event peaks with the MDEA awards given to the development teams and their suppliers. One can get up to speed with state of the art prototyping, lectures on FDA compliance, design and engineering masterpieces from the vendors. From realistic anatomical models too nano scale laser scanners, and micro molding, this show has it all. Here are some highlights./p

As Seen in Norway…Sverre Fehns First Post-Pritzker Prize Project
Posted in: UncategorizedSo you’ve just won the Pritzker Prize and the world’s your oyster. Those big juicy commissions are going to start coming in even faster, you might not even want/need to enter any competitions anymore since people will be asking for you by name now, and for that whole next year you’ll largely be considered the best in the business. That’s why it was very fun to learn that the first project Sverre Fehn worked on after this 1997 Pritzker win was the outhouse below. It’s on the far end of the parking lot connected to his brilliant Norwegian Glacier Museum. As the museum director told us, “I called him and said ‘Congratulations on winning the Pritzker. We need an outhouse. Can you do it?'”

Label Love: Myne Specializes In Sultry Silks For Summer
Posted in: Uncategorized  | LA-based Myne, which was founded back in 2007 by SoCal native Ashley Ann, displays a major fetish for fine silk. After all, what material is more luxe and makes a woman feel sexier than silk? The Summer 2010 collection features plenty of summery printed party dresses, breezy tunics, and brilliantly colored sexy separates that can be easily dressed up or down. Myne prides itself on its precise construction, tailored details, and immaculate draping to form the most gorgeously flattering silhouettes that look sexy, feel luxurious, and undoubtedly well-made. Aside from looking expensive, Ashley Ann believes that high fashion should also be functional — plenty of pockets, zippers, buttons, and versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched and accessorized to create a number of looks. Flip through the slideshow for a glimpse at the summer lookbook! |

Siku Ya Baadaye
Posted in: Uncategorized
The images and sounds of Europe and Africa clash in Congolese artist Baloji’s new music video “Siku Ya Baadaye.” His video reflects his sound, a blend of hip-hop lyrics with distinct African instrumentals, that has made fans of other hybrid genre musicians like Vampire Weekend and Beck. Calling himself “Afropean,” the Congo-born and Belgium-raised artist is quickly becoming known for both his stylized music videos and his music, having recently gained some exposure on tour with Bjork.
Throughout “Siku Ya Baadaye” (which translates as “Independence Cha-Cha”), the sound of the Likembe—an electric finger piano that sounds a lot like an electric guitar—plays in the background. The music video, directed by “Spike and Jones,” features Baloji dressed in the clothing of the Sapeurs, a group of Congolese who dress in European haute couture (see our post on the book documenting the phenomenon, Gentlemen of Bacongo). Sponsored by Belgian brands Atelier 11 and
Le Fabuleux De Bruxelles, Baloji’s own lyrics bridge the gap between the European fashion juxtaposed in the center of a small bar in Kinshasa. Baloji explains, “I don’t feel totally Congolese and here, I don’t particularly feel Belgian.”
In January, Baloji released “Karibu Ya Bintou”, the first music video for his latest album, “Kinshasa Succursale” (or Kinshasa Branch), also shot in the streets of Kinshasa, the second-largest city in Subsaharan Africa and capital of the Congo. The track is a collaboration with Konomo n1, a Congolese group formed in the 1960s that made the sounds of the Likembe known all over the world.
Karibu Ya Bintou was no small undertaking to film. Featuring the streets of Kinshasa, a city of 10,000,000 people, the video shows a group of men in skeleton outfits (an obvious reminder to Congo’s brutal war) walking through rush hour traffic, even staging a real wrestling match with a packed live crowd in a street. For more, Baloji’s latest photos and videos can be found on his website.
