Was perusing the UH-MAZING Olympics photos from Boston.com’s Big Picture and I can’t stop staring at that one above.
But go check them all out here and here — every one is pretty much incredible. Here are some of my favorites.
walking in holden’s footsteps
Awesome. Found this in the New York Times today — an interactive map of Holden Caulfield’s journey through NYC. Roll over the different sites and find an excerpt from Catcher in the Rye describing each place. Check it out here.
Thanks for the tour JD Salinger. And thanks for preserving that New York forever.
picturing the past 10 years
Phillip Niemeyer has created a fantastic chart for the New York Times depicting trends of the past 10 years.
The above is just a sample of highlights of the O’s, but the whole chart is an interesting walk down the memory lanes of our love, concerns, moods and fears.
See the full chart here.
(Thanks Crystal!)
rip I.D.
Just heard the sad news that I.D. Magazine, the country’s oldest product design magazine, is headed to the [rapidly filling up] magazine graveyard. Happily, the Annual Design Review will continue — online — even expanding to include a catalog of past winners. So there’s some consolation amidst the disappointment.
I think I’ll go thumb through some old back issues today.
Thanks magCulture for the heads up.
