Sunday Series



This week's Sunday Series features a sort of hero of mine, Stefan Sagmeister. Here he talks about moments in his life that made him happy, and how that relates to good design. He's funny, honest, and every bit the eccentric.

Memorial Day



For Memorial Day I will post a video featuring The Perceptionists and their excellent, excellent 2004 track titled "Memorial Day." It's rare to find a song that criticizes the leadership of our country while supporting the troops, and it's even more rare to find it in a hip hop song, but they do a beautiful job. And they did it at a time when public criticism of the war was not popular.

Also, props to secondtoughest for providing the compelling art to compliment the song.
