All this talk about new electronics this week at CES has me pretty frustrated at the lack of ideas that are in line with the actual needs of consumers. Not many electronics companies are really designing to aid people’s daily lives. Rather, more of them are trying to create a bloated, needless marketplace for technology [...]
A Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season!
The folks at Nike would probably like to remind you to stay off the roads during bad weather conditions, especially if you’re wearing the new Zoom Nike Kobe iD editions, because you will blind the shit out everyone and cause a traffic pile-up.

Khoi Vin’s post caught my eye, partly because he makes some solid points about the struggle on how to dress in the design industry but mainly because I wore the SAME CLOTHES on Tuesday — white, short-sleeved, collared shirt, brown cords and my black Chuck Taylors — and I also felt like an idiot all [...]
Technically not my ‘hood, but a block or so north of me begins West Queen West (or what we just call, Queen West) my favorite neighbourhood in the city, featured in this New York Times travel piece.
The article covers off some personal faves including MoCCA and Czhehoski (where I celebrated my birthday last year) but [...]
