Stumbled upon PCP's work thru Beautiful Decay's Anthology Issue #35, then realized that I'd first seen his work at OKOK in Seattle. I remember being absolutely enchanted. You can spend a lot of investigating all the details -- each work is a narrative. I really enjoyed the show... check out PCP's website

Rachel Plefger :: Love Hate

I guess it's just one of those things...you either love it, or you hate it...(I know, I know, that's a very bad joke...)...and then, of course, sometimes love and hate turn out to be the same thing, just depends on how you look at it... found it here, via here

tweel :: by michelin

michelin has been working hard to gain acceptance of these -- and to get them into as many choice applications as possible -- for awhile now. lots of different opinions on these. My opinion :: we're used to tires...and they give a nice visual weight to our cars, but I find the optically tricky see-thru wheels refreshing, in an unnerving, here's-the-naked-truth, so-learn-to-love-it sort of way...Some articles here for you :: press release, gizmag, webwombat

LG Chocolate phone

briefly mentioned in the monday morning must read last week, this lil' phone is just now reaching the US. I tried to find a bigger better pic of the pink one to post for y'all, but no luck. I have to say...I just retired my trusty old LG -- 2 years and too many encounters with water -- for a new RAZR and I'm really unhappy with the user interface. The RAZR sure is pretty on the outside, but the fun stops there. I wonder if the Chocolate is as nice to use as the one that I just gave up... read all about it somewhere else
