I don’t think I was supposed to be in here. It looks as if they’re remodeling the seminar rooms. #utexas #CoComm http://bit.ly/134vpBe

Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures printed in 3D

After watching Grant Gee’s documentary “Joy Division” i decided i have to print the iconic cover of their first album “Unknown Pleasures” in 3D.

I do have to say that the original is more attractive.

There is a “Flash Hack” at the ATX Civic Tech Expo. These folks are working on mapping Health Department restaurant scores. #ATXGo http://bit.ly/10Pu1zD

We’re excited to introduce a new look for the Whitney!

Design studio Experimental Jetset developed the new approach, which embraces the spirit of the Museum while serving as a visual ambassador for our new building. The result is a distinctive and inventive graphic system that literally responds to art—a fundamental attribute of the Whitney since its founding in 1930. This dynamic identity, which the designers refer to as the “responsive ‘W’,” also illustrates the Museum’s ever-changing nature.

You can view the new identity on the redesigned whitney.org and via this introductory video. You’ll be seeing much more it at the Museum, in our mailings and advertising, and elsewhere over the next few weeks. We welcome your comments via Facebook and Twitter.

The new Whitney visual identity is edgy looking, but I loved, loved, loved the old pixel-ish wordmark. I hope the museum still uses it in some contexts.

I’ll have to wear my ratty old Whitney t-shirt this week.

I never would have thought of Morrissey as Superman.

The 10 Best Biking Cities in America 

via FastCompany:

Biking map site BikeScore has released a new ranking of the country’s best cities for biking, accounting for factors like bike lanes, hilliness, route options, and number of commuters. How does your city rank?

It’s no shocker that Austin doesn’t make the top ten, but I feel much more comfortable cycling here than in Philadelphia.

13% of internet users ages 18-29 use Tumblr.

Compare Tumblr user demographics to other social networking sites: http://pewrsr.ch/VBAYby

Whoa, only five percent of respondents in my age cohort use Tumblr.

you read that right.

poop

foam

poop foam.

“The foam grows to a thickness of up to four feet … a vile-looking substance seeping up from between the slats that form the floor of a hog barn …

And here’s the catch: Scientists can’t explain the phenomenon.”

Yeah, sorry to gross everyone out, but we figured you’d rather know about the existence of unexplained exploding poop foam (UEPF) than not know about it.

OMG.

This car didn’t move before the outhouses for the Viva Streets event were installed. It looks silly. #VivaStreets #BikeMonth #cyclingadvocacy http://bit.ly/12mCZGX

It’s interesting that The Blanton’s “no photography” symbol shows a camera from about ten years ago. #iconography #nophotography http://bit.ly/10Cnfkw
