Thursday, July 31st, 2008Eames or Aeron?
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Take this nerve.com design quiz.
You got 17 out of 20 correct.
You’re a Style Icon, in the vein of Edie Sedgwick, Jackie Kennedy and Prince — not just well-appointed, but inventive, insidery and ahead of the curve. You own fresh-off-the-runway items from Vivienne Westwood and Salvatore Ferragamo, and accent your sparsely furnished industrial loft with pieces from Noguchi and Saarinen. You’re probably an architect. Your phone has a cord, and your eyeglasses are custom made. If you were born American, you live abroad. If you were born abroad, you live in New York. People secretly try to memorize your apartment and your outfits.
Noguchi and Saarinen?!? How prescient.
(And for the record, I would have gotten them all right if it weren’t for those darned fashion questions…)

Thursday, July 24th, 2008These shirts are almost cool, now that I don’t live there anymore. Just remind me not to ever wear it when I visit Chicago. Especially if I’m going to take the L. And remind me to get the Sox/35th one instead of the Noyes one.
(Ed. and yes, it’s “L” not “el”)

Friday, July 11th, 2008check out this amazing animated short, if you missed it the first time ’round.
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrator James Braithwaite have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short.
