For the two authors, this book represents a way of life and an opportunity to take their point of view into the mainstream. This guide… Continue reading Talking Trash: The Scavengers’ Manifesto

Chris Jordan On Overnight Shipping
Friday, den 3. April 2009
We love this latest work by Chris Jordan (an artist we’ve been following for a while now) which depicts, in packing peanuts, the number of overnight packages (166,000) sent in the U.S every hour.

Death Of Voicemail
Friday, den 3. April 2009
The New York Times pointed to a thought piece that I wrote last May about the death of voicemail. In the piece I wrote about how visual voicemail was stopping people from checking their mail (as they could see who had called pretty easily with phones like the iPhone):
If you don’t have visual mail then I pity you - you have to take time out to listen to your voicemail messages one by one. Every one a surprise. Not exactly a modern way to access information. Voicemail feels like… Continue reading Death Of Voicemail

Designing NYC’s E-waste Bin
Friday, den 3. April 2009
Traditionally, the New York way of dealing with stuff that’s lost its right to be part of our apartments or offices is to put it on the street and wait for it to disappear. Obviously, this process isn’t great for waste that shouldn’t end up in a landfill or can’t be dispersed by the wind - like electronics. However community-based recycling programs are sporadic with collection and lack funding, and commercial disposal for businesses is pricey.
On the bright side: last year New York City decided to be the first US city… Continue reading Designing NYC’s E-waste Bin
