Remote-Controlled LED Light Bulbs Offer 7 Shades of White
This seems pretty cool — I think every light should have a dimmer option. No word on price or when this will make it out of Japan. (via inhabitat.com)

I would consider wearing these… at least a few times.

I just read this great article about being a “fast food designer.” You may or may not have ever had a job like this, but I certainly have, and my senior designer at Kelsey Advertising & Design had one too. A “fast food designer” is when management comes in and wants a brochure done in an hour, or a logo in an afternoon.

Now that I have had the pleasure of being the boss for a while now, I don’t get to design much at all. Sometimes that’s a good thing (like when I’m feeling lazy), but sometimes I wonder if I have lost touch with where I came from.

This article reminded me to take a step back and remember to, as the author put it, “let it incubate” a little. I think I do a pretty good job with allowing it to incubate with my designers (for the most part), but it’s a good reminder.

“Potato portraits” from artist Ginou Choueiri. I think there is opportunity for some kind of commercial here. Hell, if Geico can put eyeballs on a stack of cash, why not mugs on spuds?

This is a great cover of Crossroads. I wish I could play half this well.

Somebody posted this to Twitter, I don’t recall who - it struck me as pretty amazing. For some reason, when I looked at the photos of the Depression, it occured to me that the people in the photos are (were) my age.

For some unknown reason, when I think of this period I think of my Grandfather, and people much older than me.

There is a series of photos of a 32 year old woman with 7 children - she looks 45. I guess 7 kids, poverty, and the Great Depression will do that to you.
