We're pretty certain this Englishman who put his wife up for sale in a classified ad was kidding, because we're also pretty certain that sort of thing is illegal. But that didn't stop hordes of strange men who saw the ad from actually calling Gary Bates to inquire about his wife Donna, who was described in the ad as a "nagging wife" who is "very high maintenance" and has "some rust." Gary wasn't really going out of his way to [...]

The World Wide Web created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee is 20 years old today. Even though I’m not the most qualified person to say this, its seems like several eternities have passed when you take a look at all that’s been accomplished. And yet at the same time, it also feels like things have only started falling in place—ubiquitous and high-speed connections, uncompromised content delivery on mobile devices, live streaming and other real-time services, data portability and APIs, and so on.

Good thing Rush Limbaugh isn't running for office—not even for chairman of the Republican National Committee, notwithstanding recent White House efforts to cast him in the role of that party's leader. In an Ipsos/McClatchy poll released this week, a non-landslide 11 percent of respondents expressed a "very favorable" opinion of Limbaugh, with another 19 percent "somewhat favorable." Nearly half the respondents offered an opinion that was either "somewhat unfavorable" (13 percent) or "very unfavorable" (33 percent). One is inclined to [...]

One of the things that I’ve found mind-bendingly annoying about Leopard (besides its complete refusal to allow classic window management) is the “this file was downloaded from the internet, are you sure you want to open it?” dialog box. Yes, damn it: I just downloaded the file with the express intent of opening it. Stop bothering me. Keep it up and I might mistake you for PC. What’s even worse is that the dialog requires mouse input to get past. [...]

Why not anthropomorphize lard? Artist Nouar's tongue is firmly in cheek as she creates social commentary on consumerism that is quite palatable. The Glue Society created a statue of a giant pigeon for a recent New York art fair. But in the same way that no statue of a person is complete without a pigeon on its head, a person crouches on this pigeon's head. Claire Verrell's digital collage creatures are unabashedly cute. Orchids, anemones, lichens and corals connect in [...]

Political artist Ross Jones' exploratory drawings—soon to be on display at London's William Angel Gallery—take a look at Britain's current societal problems. By distilling a complicated political issue into one of its constituent parts, Jones looks at our contemporary climate without portraying one major viewpoint in each of his stark, large-scale renderings. (Click on images for larger versions.) While he may not dictate a singular argument, Jones' concerns are clear. Titles such as "Surgical Strike, Agricultural Decline" and "Refuge" match [...]

Short for Distribuidora Internacional de Alimentacion (roughly International Provision Distributor), Dia is a Carrefour-owned, hard-discount grocery store — meaning, from what I understand, that they can reduce costs wildly by minimizing operations and simplifying their stores — with a vast presence in Spain with more than 2,900 stores and can also be found around the world in Greece, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, and China. Last year, Interbrand redesigned a new identity for Dia, replacing the generic but oh-so-European-looking Avant Garde with [...]

This past Monday, we had the pleasure of seeing Graphic Design, Referenced printed in full color and as spreads for the first time — try ponying up the cash to print 200 tabloid sheets, yikes — with the arrival of the printer's proofs. At this point we didn't go over any text, what done is done, and concentrated on layout and image color. It always amazes how things mysteriously "drop" from file to proof and I don't mean that to be [...]
