commented on a project updateAwesome comments everyone! Thanks for all the great perspective. I'm going to post the second round today or tomorrow. The progression we took should be fairly obvious, and as always am looking forward to everyones thoughts. Obviously your comments didn't factor into the upcoming designs, but they certainly will in following iterations. @Brad - I love the "Feltron-esque maps" idea. Displaying projects on a map that have a stated location is definitely something we're looking forward to doing. Lastly, I hear you guys on the button. We need to protect its prominence and importance. Great points.

Dictionary sightings
Good news in that Dictionary stories have been spotted in the UK, Berlin and Chicago. That means international mail is what I was hoping it should be! If you haven't received yours yet please leave...

commented on a project updateVery exciting Nick! And beyond the great view into your writing & feedback process, I'm sitting here entirely jealous of the fact that you'll be sipping Blue Bottle coffee on your trip to San Francisco. Hands down one of my favorite roasters. I've been living day to day in frustration since moving to Chicago, without my daily ritual of 1 Blue Bottle cup of joe in the morning. Have fun!
1 month in.
I'm about to fly to San Francisco to blow way too much money at Amoeba, get way too wired at Blue Bottle, and have some great chats along the way. I'll be staying with my friend » View full post

commented on a project updateHey James. I missed this post, but randomly heard the Eight Forty-Eight show during the rebroadcast. Awesome stuff. Congrats on the press. 12 days & just under $10k to go. I think it's definitely possible.
Media interviews this week
With less than two weeks to go, I have some more media interviews on the way about the "Chicago Rocked" fundraising effort. Tomorrow (9/2/09): I'll be on Eight Forty-Eight on WBEZ (91.5 FM,...

commented on a project updateahhh. This looks awesome Earl. Wish I could have made it, but I'll get down your way soon enough! Perhaps for a listening party for the finished product. Pretty hardcore of the Houston & Atlanta contingents to make it out for the event.
Shots from the Backer Gumbo event
I know, I know... it's been over a week, but better late than never. The gumbo was chicken and sausage, and may have been my best gumbo yet. I'd have to say the shindig was a great success,...

commented on a project updateLaura, these are stunning! Each of these updates just gets me more inspired and excited to see what treasures you come back with! So damn cool. Have you ever considered a photo excursion to Alaska? Very different culture (indeed) but some strong parallels environmentally.

commented on a project updateEarl! Well. I live in Chicago, with no near-term plans to head down to NOLA. But I bet a trip down south will happen soon enough, and when it does, hanging in the studio with a simple beer is perfect man.
