  • The Standards Manual

    I’ve always had a very large soft spot for subway maps. Especially the one Massimo Vignelli did for New York City back in the 70’s. So when this NYCTA Graphics Standards Manual surfaced earlier this week I was thrilled. Hopefully I can get a little time to obsessively study it this weekend.

  • Ghost

    There’s been a lot of discussion around John O’Nolan’s Ghost today. And there should be. It’s a beautiful, blog focused reimagining of the WordPress dashboard that provides an alternative to what they’ve done with the dashboard on WordPress.com. A lot of the discussion is about how John would like to do this as a fork of…

  • Memoir

    I’ve been looking for a clean, single-column, responsive WordPress theme that supports post formats (or at least asides) for the past few weeks now. And honestly, I was beginning to think I’d have to roll my own. Now, that isn’t really an issue — especially since I’m comfortable with theming — but site design is…

  • Unknown Pleasures

    I’ve known the story of the cover artwork for Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures for quite some time now, but it’s always a pleasure to be able to hear Peter Saville talk about it. [via]

  • Portable Starbucks

    I wish the boring, stucco covered Starbucks they just opened in our neighborhood looked half as nice as this experimental LEED-certified one in Denver. C’est la vie, right?

  • Edge Web Fonts

    Adobe’s Edge Web Fonts look like a pretty nice alternative to Google’s Web Fonts. I guess I’ll have to see which one is faster and report back… [via]

  • Antik

    It’s a good thing the TikTok team had an analog watch module to fall back on after Apple changed the iPod nano form factor. If they decide to keep doing the whole modular watch thing, they should at least be able to change up the form factor to something a little less clunky. So that’s a…

  • HTML

    I want this t-shirt (and most of the other ones at The Unrefinery) so hard. They even come in 3XL! [via]

  • Swissted

    I really wish these posters from swissted were real. Swiss design and punk rock are two things that I love like crazy. To be honest, if I had the opportunity, I’d probably buy way too many of them. So maybe it’s a good thing that they’re just images on the internets… [via]

  • None More Blackletter

    Tim Denee has put together this really beautiful, free PDF calendar for 2012. If you’ve got a ream of A3 paper sitting around your office, don’t hesitate to print it off and hang it up. [via]
