  Wall of Sound – From the pages of Ready Made

  09.07.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  I was going through old files and found a nice scan of the 1st article I penned for Ready Made magazine.  It’s the “Wall of Sound” CD rack.  With it you can hold about 1,300 CDs in a very small space.  The article was from 2003, but I built this in 1999, when it was [...]

  Giant Concrete Helvetica Sign

  03.21.09 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  I’ve seen these signs a few times and today got a chance to experience them up close.  They aren’t far from my house, in the South East corner of San Francisco.  Very cool.  I think Sacha liked them as much as I did (probably for different reasons). I wonder when they were put in? How [...]
