City Maps for Type Nerds (and Lost Tourists) →
Note: “There was nothing automated about making these maps, unless you count copying and pasting. Everything was laid out manually, from tracing streets over an OpenStreetMap image, to nudging curved water text, to selectively erasing text to create a woven street pattern.”
Has the novelty of the “hand-made” evolved to include the unscripted digital?

Brooklyn Bourgeois Bohemians - “Young, comfortable and inclined toward creativity, they enjoy a utopian-seeming existence marked by strolls down tree-lined streets, carefully chosen foods and leisurely weekends spent in coffee bars and parks. An existence only occasionally marred by the realization that this is not the hopped-up New York they came to conquer.”

Bershon via. Design Observer
The spirit of bershon is pretty much how you feel when you’re 13 and your parents make you wear a Christmas sweatshirt and then pose for a family picture, and you could not possibly summon one more ounce of disgust, but you’re also way too cool to really even DEAL with it, so you just make this face like you smelled something bad and sort of roll your eyes and seethe...

Orderly Conduct
Peter Funch’s photo/composite series, Babel Tales, depicts everyday activity at 6 different corners in NYC. It reminds me of Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad’s project, Orderly Conduct, set in London, Amsterdam and Tokyo. Both describe cities of isolated individuals with shared collective behavior.

Systems, like Pogoplug, which allow external hard drive content to be accessed through the internet, could transform the dependencies we have on our data. Having carried my macbook pro around nearly everyday for the past few years, the liberation from any particular machine is incredibly appealing.
