Best. Infographic. Ever.

"The beautiful infographic "50 Years of Space Exploration" [nationalgeographic.com] shows exactly the content denoted in its title. A delimited line on the bottom shows the relative distances in interstellar space, and the current positions of our most distant spacecrafts, such as the Voyager 1 and Pioneer 10. However, the most persuasive part is the nice visual accumulation of fly paths of historic space missions, which clearly shows our past interest in Mars, the moon, the sun and Venus, and the relatively few visits to asteroids, comets and other, more distant, planets.

The image is also available in a more user-friendly and downloadable format on Flickr".

How to get shot.... by The Sartorialist

Ok. Anyone that knows me (which is all three of the people that read this thing) knows all I usually wear is black t's, canvas shoes and flip flops. Not because I'm hip, cool and trying to keep up with the hipsters. No, more so because I'm lazy and I have the fashion sense of shag carpeting.

One person on the internets that is the king of "street style" and all that is hip in fashion is Scott Schuman with his blog The Sartorialist. He runs around the world taking pics of "really cool people" in their coolest outfits. Now thanks to Christene Barberich & Piera Gelardi ( and designer Joshua Covarrubias) we can all follow this simple flow chart to gaurantee catching The Sartorialists eye (lens).

Lego Madness

I know there are a lot of things going around the internets about getting life-size Lego sculptures of yourself made for $60K... but this is waaaay better.

Check out Jason Freeny's Micro Schematic. Pretty redonkulously good.

Why I am a Designer

Minus the glasses this is quite true for me. The only thing I would add is: "Love having career choice/passion summed up in a little pie chart".
