Snapshot: quick questions with Brian Everett -
Greg did a little interview with me, which I was truly flattered and honored that he even thought of me. It is a nice little interview to read, and gives you a chance to find out more about me personally, if you care to do so.
Thanks Greg!

Ogaki by Aron Jancso
After much of a long and heavily anticipated amount of time, Ogaki is finally available to buy. In my personal opinion, it sort of breaks the mold of font designs recently. With all of the type factories popping up on the internet, there have been a surplus of fonts which tend to blur together and look very similar to others. I can’t say I’ve seen another font that looks like Ogaki. Well done. Click through to buy….
It was a close race in the voting for the domain name, but www.everythingallthetime.net won with 1 vote! At the moment I just have too many things on my plate, so all this means is a simple name change for now. But in the long run I am going to implement (yes I used that word) some new features, a new look, and better posts.
Glass recycling is finally now available in KC! Thanks to Ripple Glass, founded by Boulevard Brewery. There are locations all over the metro area. Just click through to see all the locations.
The entire Beatles back catalog is now set to release in digital format Dec. 7th on a 16gb flash drive shaped like an apple. The price: $279.99. I would rather own the physical collection myself, but I can see the attraction. Both FLAC and 320kb MP3 formats will be included.
Insound: Free November Mixtape -
Did I mention it is free?
Launching tomorrow and lasting through Thursday (Nov. 4 - 5), Blu Dot and Mono have teamed up to create the REAL GOOD Experiment (Experiment = creative marketing campaign). They will be randomly placing Real Good chairs on curb sides throughout NYC, for people to take freely. The idea is to find out where the chairs end up, and how people use them. Click through to book mark, and check in tomorrow!
An illustration by Eyvind Earle for a Motorola Ad taken from the Illustration Today textbook, 1963.
Eyvind was a designer, illustrator, and painter. He is probably most famous for his background paintings that were used for Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty” and “Lady And The Tramp.” I really love this ad above. You can see a high res version here.
Marcel Wanders for Target (sorry for the early holiday product post)
Marcel has designed a line of products for Target’s holiday season. A lot of the product is available online only. The bowls on the left are already out of stock (check in stores though), and the place holders on the right are $11.99 for the set of 4.
I’m normally a big fan of his work: he has done some pretty incredible things in the past. For example, the vases that mimic the shape of different flu strands. However, I’m honestly not really enjoying most of this product line. Click through to see all items.
The local KC station 98.1 officially started playing Christmas music around the clock. wow…….
I mean, I love Christmas. Like, REALLY love Christmas…. But it is far too early for music.

When I was in high school, I spent a month in Germany and got to visit this castle. Still one of the most amazing things I have seen. Now I have to go dig through my photos
