Delicious Morsels

January 6, 2009

Today’s savory/delicious web findings are as follows:

Theme magazine writes, “Given the frequency of earthquakes in Japan, it would seem a bad place to build elevated highways; but given their space constraints, they’ve got no choice”. Check out Ken Ohyama’s documentation of Japan’s elevated urban expressways. Be sure to add the dude as a contact on Flickr.

GOOD recently worked with Wooster Collective to curate some examples of cutting edge street art. I’m not sure I’d agree with most of the selections, however, I do agree with the statement “These days, if you’re looking for innovative and vital art, skip the galleries and take a walk down the streets of any major city.” In a separate post Good writes, “That Old Testament God sure was kill-happy. By Dwindling in Unbelief’s tally, the good lord smote some 33 million people during Biblical times”. On that note: Watch Zeitgeist y’all.

Will Loafers be the must have kicks of ‘09? I’m digging Ryan from Hyr Collective’s prediction.

Speaking of Zeitgeist, Hype Machine has a great version of its own. So, “Forget the magazine editors & big label marketing budgets. This is the best music from 2008 chosen by the most passionate music fans alive: music bloggers.”

Flipping Typical is a cool font tool.

Are you into Popular Behaviour? If so, my colleague Gavin Froome just started a new block. YAMS, that clean white and black design looks slick, no?
