A freakin' fashion prophet: Project Runway comment

Earlier this week Blogging Project Runway, showed pictures of the contestants New York Fashion Week shows.

I really liked Chris March's collection and made the comment.




Looks like I was half-right. Lilly Allen showed up at a fashion show wearing this..

Carbon/Silicon

Carbon Silicon is a band that consists mainly of Mick Jones (The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite) and Tony James (Gen X, Sigue Sigue Sputnik).

They are brilliant, they remind me much of a harder B.A.D. Here's their song "The News"




I heard an interview with them on Fresh Air, but I think the best thing I heard was a interview on Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) Jonesy' Jukebox (Indie 103.1 show, link to Carbon/Silicon interview)

How many middle men?

I'm convinced that in the era of creative home loans, mutual funds companies scandals, and creative business practices, that there has to be standard for the amount of profit and revenue a bank or financial group can make in any given transaction.

What I want..

This is what I want.

Web Trend Map 2008

Information Architects Japan posted a Web Trend Map 2008 mapped on the Tokyo Subway system.

I found it via boingboing.net post.

This is a cool map, but it really doesn't convey the information in a good manner:

• Why is Skype, eBay, Paypal and Messenger on the same line?
• Why is Gawker, Adobe and IBM on the same line?
• It's great that Google is the downtown, by why is Flickr and Facebook closer to downtown than Google?

A better way to represent this information is categorize by website type (news, gaming, social networking, media, portal, etc) and/or use a tag cloud to 'connect the dots'.

I would then like to see what shows up downtown and what is considered to be in the suburbs.
