New 7 Wonders Of The World

The commonly known Seven Ancient Wonders of the World were all man-made monuments, selected by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C. Today, only the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt remain.

So now its time to find 7 new ones. This journey will reach its pinnacle on July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07, when the world will discover which monuments have been named as the New 7 Wonders of the World.

Wouldn't mind taking Ms brown eyes to Neuschwanstein Castle Schwangau, Germany or Machu Picchu, Peru or all of them mind you. I would have voted for the Easter Island sculptures, but look at that cheeky bastard refusing to take his hat off while being modeled ha ha ha ha!

The Thunderer’s New Face

The Times of London rolls out a new typeface, Times Modern, and a few other design changes, including a redrawn insignia in the nameplate. Art directed by Neville Brody.

Some elegance is lost during the process I think, but then again - I have not seen it "live" yet. I've also learned to let redesigns grow a bit on me over time.

Of the new typography, David Driver, head of design for The Times, writes:

-"The Times Modern introduced today allows a better shaped headline with extra characters per line. This allows for more articulation in the process of writing. The change is not reckless impulse, but reading conditions for many people have become less leisurely. Newspaper typography should evolve to meet technological innovations and The Times is once again at the sharp end."

Also - way to go Bergens Tidende! (AOE)

Niko Stumpo - ABC - Hanazuki - Aiko

Sometimes I feel really productive, but then I think about what might be the average day of Niko Stumpo. 19 solid hours of work, working out for 1 hour, romantic meal with his girlfriend 1 hour, hanging out with his mates 1 hour, streetskating the banks of Amsterdam 1 hour and then a long good 1 hour sleep. Xhuman.

The Fountain (*** stunning ***)

Probably the most beautiful thing since Michelle Pfeifer in Dangerous Minds. This promotional website aims to capture the spirit of Darren Aronofsky's long awaited follow-up to Requiem for a dream. Tenderly put together by Hi-res

It takes 5 minutes full concentration, proper headphones, and uh - dont view this on your daft laptop, it would be like ...t...... with a condom.

And yes, its the experience button!

10 ways to organise your life

Without organisation there is chaos. A sheet of paper becomes a pile of paper. A single rubber band snowballs into a tangled nugget of desk gold. A lone file on your computer’s desktop multiplies into an infinite number of faceless icons, blocking out the pretty wallpaper of your cat.

PS! That robot girl is amazing (and quite scary)

#118- “It’s amazing how well you interpreted the brief. This piece is exactly what we wanted, you could not have made it any better, I love it. But I also think it’s too good. This is for a bigger client, a more international one. We’re not like that. See if you can do something shittier that we can use.”

#116- “Can’t you make that dog smile? Don’t you have a smile filter on this expensive machine?”
