NYC, Clear Your Couch
Thanks to Porter getting access to fly into Newark, I’m gonna be visiting a whole lot more.
Monacle’s Perfect High Street
Everyone loves an urban village but few cities know quite how to get the mix of retail, services and residents right. Monocle has taken inspiration from its favourite neighbourhoods to engineer the perfect precinct.
Site Launch: AOL Media Network
A major source of information about advertising on key properties such as CBC.ca and The New York Times, the AOL Media Network site needed a refresh to cater to new and returning media buyers. The goal was to inform interested parties about the benefits of advertising via AOL while giving returning clients and internal [...]
NBA Stat Visualization

Delfino is an explosive guard/forward combo guard who can get to the [...]
London 2012
The more I look at this London 2012 brand the more I think about how poor we are at judging what is aesthetically pleasing 5 to 10 years from now. (i.e. The shirt I’m wearing right now would not be hot in ‘01…although some would argue it’s not that great now).
Let’s see what we’re saying [...]
No. 23 Strikes (again)
Probably one of the best individual playoff performances I’ve seen in a long time came last night as LeBron James (and some other guys standing near him in the same uniform) took a 3-2 series lead against Detroit in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The recap and box score are here, but nothing beat actually watching LeBron [...]
