spanish architecture..

...modern architecture from spain celebrated once again - this time at the moma. my favorite is by far the santa catarina market rooftop - toronto architects - take a good look. curved structures DO work and can even make for beautiful buildings!

listen to the audio tour of the show..if you're in NYC, don't listen..just go to the MOMA!

ny times did not have glowing review of the exhibition - regardless, the architecture speaks for itself..

music..

this is a first - a music post.

awesome remix songs! download these 20 songs..

mcgame...

funny game - like running your own lemonade stand...but here you're farming, feeding your cows..figuring out how to market to kids (I don't remember the "get'em young get'em for life" marketing strategy in B-school) and to run the actual restaurants...

pretty well set up game..I bankrupted the company in two years..umm..

these guys make political videogames against dictatorship of entertainment..hmmm

...style - adidas..

...adidas is manufacturing a new ultra light women's running shoe with stella mccartney's design - it'll be called the a³ Flyride - not sure if it's an expansion to her SS06 collection that she recently started with adidas. she's an awesome designer - adidas is still pretty cool despite becoming so ubiquitous...

should yamamoto be worried about the competition? probably not..

on another note, adidas recently put on a fashion show on a berlin subway car - a cool touch.

...saw david batchelor speak this weekend about his book chromophobia and his art in general - he basically spoke about color - sound boring? not at all! if you ever get a chance to see him speak, do! his sense of humor is great and makes it all so interesting.

...business - eat, gamble, fly, spend, read...

...hooters has opened a casino - another demonstration of how to milk your brand your brand for every penny - remember hootersair? yes, still alive - we can make fun of it, but it looks like it's done much better than Jetsgo!

...and yes, that picture is not a fake - hooters mastercard is now also available.
