The Kennedys

Watched this mini-series on Netflix, and really enjoyed it. All four leading characters were very convincing. JFK comes across as seriously flawed and Bobby seems like the real deal.

The Rapha Continental

Archived here. But best enjoyed on a larger screen on their home page here. This is gorgeous.

Bernhard Villemot

I've just recently discovered the work of Bernhard Villemot, a French graphic artist, who lived from 1911-1989. I need to get one of these prints for my home.

When was the last time an art director was so great, it was an asset to have his signature on the advertising?

Steve Martin in "The Absent Minded Waiter"

Kobayashi Maru

I'm not a Trekkie. But it's cool to know about the Kobayashi Maru.

Socketes

My friend Samantha makes these out of material she would have thrown away otherwise.

DPC and Daniel Burnham

Safety First

These were done by W+K NY, and are at least 10 years old. But I always liked the animation. And it's a good message for the kids.

Kurt Vonnegut on the Shapes of Stories

This stuff doesn't get old

Michael Imperioli for 1800 Tequila

I don't drink alcohol, and I've still never seen an episode of the Sopranos (I know, I know). But I love these commercials with Michael Imperioli for 1800 Tequila.
