Hey look! It’s the Boston Common!



What do you mean you don’t recognize it? Haven’t you ever seen a visualization of the relative proportions of different colors seen in photos taken in each month of the year as plotted on a wheel?

Dude! The resulting diagram picks up the ebb and flow of seasonal colors. The close-ups below show winter, spring, summer, and fall.



Read all about it here . The final project appeared as follows in Boston Magazine…

Ye Gads! 13 Days!

It’s been a long time since my last post loyal reader, and I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. It seems that blood and flesh life is interfering with bits and bytes life and I’ve been crunched for time. And inspiration.

While I am still here and grateful for your visit, the truth is I’m going to be hard pressed to live up to my “once every other day” average post goal for a little while. The next three months or so are going to be very tough.

And so today I’ll let someone else do my blogging. I hereby present a link dump courtesy of The Guardian UK .

I’ll be back as soon as I can.

How to redesign a hot dog…

Good reasons to avoid using the telephone…

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is growing. And I include this reluctantly because I think that a lot of hyperbole and nonsense surrounds this phenomenon…in fact, one day maybe we’ll do a blog post delving into this a little bit further. I should be able to get to something like that in, oh say, June of 2011…

Why humans kiss . File under self evident?

The Secrets to an Interminable Life .

Why boogers are good for you . Littlefoil’s going to love this…

Working at an ad agency isn’t as much fun as it used to be. Boo-effing-hoo…c’mon into work with me one day…
