Kulula airlines from South Africa has rebranded with some nice information rich livery.

Recently Jet Blue offered an All-You-Can-Jet pass for a month of unlimited flights. Its a fantastic idea, so great that it sold out early. Dustin Curtis and Alaska Miller took Jet Blue up on the offer and are visiting all 43 cities served by Jet Blue in the US, thats 90 flight segments. Why put oneself through this experience, which to be honest, will be painful at best?

In an airplane, hundreds of people with rich backgrounds and histories are crammed together for hours at a time. They have fascinating stories. We want to tell some of them. Our plan is to strike up conversations during our flights and see if maybe, after 30 days of constant flying, we can get a good understanding of the average jetBlue flier. We’re going to document our experiences at 30dayflight.com. We’d love for you to follow our adventure.

Wonder what the TSA guy was thinking when I couldn’t remember where I was going after 16 boarding passes fell out of my passport.

Good luck to these intrepid travelers and hope to watch things unfold on 30dayflight.com

Absolutely amazing set of unique prints by Daniel Eatock. It a nearly perfect marriage of a strict system, materiality (of the paper stock and the markers) and time. With the added bonus of a beautiful end result.

A complete set of 156 Prismacolor Markers (arranged following manufacturer’s numbered color chart) held within inverted glasses, one ream of 25” x 38” uncoated, 40 lb. paper, divided into two stacks.

The ink reached the 31st sheet in the stack of paper that comprises the top half of the diptych and the 29th sheet of the stack that comprises the bottom half of the diptych.Prior to discovering the extent of the edition, it was determined that the price of each diptych would equal the highest number of sheets stained by the ink.

I saw the TugBoat Printshop at Craftacular last weekend and I still want this print.

hugeurl.com makes URLs huge. It’s like Cory Arcangel’s Total Asshole Compression which increases file size, but for URLs.

The understated simplicity of this navigation, feeling around in the dark so to speak, is very compelling to me.

last week I received my muxtape-to-tape from russelldavies. I still haven’t listened to the tape (I cheated and listened to crusty.muxtape.com

Many thanks to Russell for this little gem of internet physicality.

I have no commentary on the suitability of the IKEA in Red Hook or its impact on the local neighborhood. I do however like the apartment inside a cardboard box promotion. And appropriately sized.

In Zurich I saw IKEA cabinets walking around to promote a new store.

d-barcode in Japan design barcodes for the items you see on the supermarket shelf. These are the little flourishes of design that take the banal and make it fresh and that keeps me smiling everyday.
