Danish Pepper – 10 Years of Teak
This weekend is the 10 year anniversary of the Danish Pepper book. Even though I’m not posting a lot on the teak pepper.com blog or on my Facebook page, I still collect and research Jens Quistgaard’s design work. The book has sold over 1,000 copies since it was originally published, and I’d like to thank everyone […]

My New House
03.26.12 | Permalink | 2 CommentsOne of the reasons I haven’t posted much over the last few months is that my family moved. We packed up our home and moved south down the Penninsula. It was a major job – and as you can imagine – it took a lot of time. The new house is still not fully together […]

Hipstamatic Photography
Most of the photos I’ve posted from our European journey were taken with my Canon DSLR, but I had a ton of fun taking photos with the iPhone 4 on the trip – both with and without the Hipstamatic app. The app creates retro filter affects to your photos. You could point it at just […]

The trip started with a long flight and few days in Copenhagen… My first salt and pepper on the trip! Lufthansa was so great (and not just their condiment packaging). […]

Missing John for 10 years now…
07.03.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsMy friend and cousin John Rush died 10 years ago this weekend. I cannot believe it has been that long. Since this blog is about design, I’ll just mark the occasion by saying that he was a great guy: very smart, very funny, and an amazing musician. He was always in search something cooler and […]

Objectified Film Poster – Cool Like Dansk
Did you see the new poster for the upcoming Gary Hustwit film Objectified? If you liked his film Helvetica, you’ll love this one!

Some old Grateful Dead Photos
03.14.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI got my scanner out for some more old Grateful Dead photos, but these are REALLY old. I did not take these. They were taken (probably in New York) by the late jazz photographer Raymond Ross. He used to live above the original Knitting Factory, and they were purchased directly from him in the late […]
