Somethin’ New From Chemistry
Samuli Naamanka, Graphic Concrete is a process with which textures, patterns, typography, images, or works of art can be “printed” on concrete surfaces, producing subtle and dramatic results . Currently, Graphic Concrete is being used mostly in Europe, but hopefully I’ll get a chance to add a project to the Google map.

Shoutout To All My Eichler Homies
Most Eichler homes are located in northern California, but you can find a few in the southland. People restore and renovate their Eichlers (I love the spice rack and the master bathroom ), write magazine articles, newspaper stories, and books about them, and take lots of photos of them. Even Mr. Incredible owned an Eichler. But owning an Eichler is not for everyone. Want to buy an Eichler? Join the Eichler Network, tour an open house, and start saving for a down payment!

Their Futura Is Now Their Past
“It’s a sad day,” “Wrong on so many levels,” “Awful,” and “The worst idea ever,” are just a few of the reactions to a major change at IKEA. Some speculate the decision is based on financial reasons; others think the change signifies the end of IKEA’s printed media. After fifty years, IKEA has switched from using its custom-designed Futura and Century Schoolbook fonts to Verdana. In an interview with Cap & Design, IKEA’s CEO Ivana Hrdlickova defends the decision.

A Fair To Remember
Vintage Seattle’s Erecting The Needle is a photo essay featuring concept proposals for the Space Needle, its construction (1, 2, 3, 4 ), and a picture of the rarely-seen gas-flame beacon in action. More design sketches and images, from the University of Washington’s image database. In 2008, crews from Kärcher GmbH & Co. cleaned the Space Needle for the first time, and this morning, the Space Needle was briefly for sale!

Muni Don’t Take My Kodachrome
photographers have been stopped, harassed, and intimidated into handing over their personal property simply because they were photographing subjects that made other people uncomfortable, such as ship locks, trains, buildings, bridges, and bus stations. If you live in the United States, here’s a guide to print and carry with you: The Legal Handbook for Photographers. British photographers should carry The UK Photographer’s Rights Guide, since photography is slowly becoming illegal in the United Kingdom. Photographer’s Licenses. This license is intended as art and political commentary in that one does not need a license to take photographs. This license is not an official government-issued document, nor is it intended as an imitation of an official government document, and it should not be used as such. The author expressly disclaims all liability for any use to which this artwork is put. This license is a work of fiction and is not to be used as official identification or authorization. Know your rights, and please support the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
