NOW PRESIDENT OBAMA

January 20th, 2009

As an aside: I’m not really looking for a “New America” but for an Improved America. Over the past few decades, this nation experienced more than enough “innovation“: a “new world order” over democracy, controversy over liberty, corruption over integrity, ineptitude over responsibility, and outrage over respect. The original ideals and principles of America, as [...]

      • New Board Game Café Welcomes You, But Not Your Laptop August 30, 2010
        Snakes and Lattes on Sunday evening, papered up in advance of its first day of business, which is today. Ben Castanie's new Koreatown café, at 600 Bloor Street West, just east of Palmerston Avenue, will emphatically not have free Wi-Fi. In fact, laptops and their attendant air of isolation are completely counter to what Castanie is trying to do. "I […]

      • If They Hate Us, Why Haven’t They Killed Us Yet? August 29, 2010
        Here’s a Venn diagram of the US population, the world Muslim population, the overlap, and al-Qaeda. The al-Qaeda dot had to be sized up tenfold in order to be visible. If Islam were really a blood-soaked religion and most Muslims really backed al-Qaeda, wouldn’t they have taken us out already? Found at Osborne Ink. […]

        Things that are made from organic material age and decay, especially when they stop being alive. A piece of home-baked bread, say, left on your kitchen counter, will get moldy relatively fast. Lord knows what some ground beef would smell like after a week. But the artist Sally Davies has been photographing one McDonald's hamburger and fries every day fo […]

      • 1922 Kodachrome – Color Moving Pictures August 27, 2010
        Seeing something like this is kind of unreal to me… I feel like I’m dreaming! This is some of the oldest color motion picture footage, and it’s completely charming and beautiful to see. I think it’s the closest I can ever really get to time travel. Found via Chateau Thombeau, a great blog that I recently started reading. […]

      • Vintage Internet Ads August 26, 2010
        I saw these posters on Unplggd and they made me laugh. They were designed by a Sao Paulo ad agency called Moma. Won’t it be fun to be grandmas and grandpas and see vintage ads for things like the iPhone and feel nostalgic? P.S. — Thank you for all the internet love yesterday (here on Design Mom, on twitter and on facebook) — I’m still grinning ear to ear! […]

        Something tells us we may be the only ones excited about this, but on select nights in September, Transportation Alternatives will be offering free valet bicycle parking to anyone attending a theatrical performance in the Theater District. Finding a place to lock up around there is a real headache, so this is certainly welcome news for Broadway theatergoers […]

      • Smartphones One Step Closer to Breathalyzer App September 8, 2010
        Though the technology to blow into your phone and find out how sloshed you are hasn't been invented yet, the DOT has released a smartphone app designed to keep drunks off the road. Part of their "You The Man!" campaign that targets men ages 21-39, who in 2008 were responsible for 63% of alcohol-related crashes in the city, the app calculates B […]

      • Windy Wednesday Weather September 8, 2010
        Plane Ride by Pine Ear on Flickr There's a deep low pressure system over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the surrounding atmosphere doesn't like it one bit. Hence the wind as Mother Nature tries to fill in that depression. The cold front trailing off that low passed through the region late this morning and the wind has swung around from a southerly br […]

        Comedian Mark Malkoff has pulled off his latest stunt: spending five days in his New York City bathroom, sans the almighty internet. Below is his first video segment documenting the solitude; does he survive all five days? Spoiler alert: he just emailed us this video so he's not only alive, but he's been reacclimated into the online world. […]

      • Does Jersey Have Its Own Version Of B&T? September 8, 2010
        Photo via the AP Well, well, well. Apparently New Jersey residents—or the Bridge & Tunnel crowd, as some people call them when they infiltrate our fair city—have their own derogatory nicknames for out-of-towners visiting the Garden State. According to the Daily News, summer tourists at the Shore are called FOOTs, which stands for "Fucking Out-Of-Tow […]

        Financial forecaster Meredith Whitney expects Wall Street to see massive layoffs in the coming months. She states that firms will be seeing up to 80,000 job losses, a number that translates to 10% of the current payrolls. She also says that increasing costs coupled with lower revenues will act like a catalyst, hurrying the process of layoffs along. A rough t […]
