KIOSK HELLO

Nathan just wrote us with a video made of the Wooden Toy Sticks (here) and some col­ored strings and it’s great! I just wish the sticks could do that on it’s own when­ever you all come in for a visit. Don’t miss his site if you feel gloomy and need to be cheered up. Need […]

You have to hand it to Hong Kong, the place knows it’s mis­sion in life. Whereas stained glass would nor­mally have a reli­gious tone to it, this one from the 80’s (we think based on the style of the com­puter and phone) has a def­i­nite hi-tech / future for­ward ring.

We are now get­ting ready to put Hong Kong in the shop! It was a great trip. Hong Kong is both a won­der­ful and tragic glimpse into the future, both com­pletely inspir­ing and ter­ri­fy­ing and loud and urgent and malls and pop­u­la­tion den­sity and pol­lu­tion and really won­der­ful, won­der­ful peo­ple. These two ladies sum it […]
