Digg Users Are The Smartest People In The World
By Nick Adams on 11.17.07
Apparently there was some content posted to digg by Brave New Films a few days ago compiling all the sexual images shown along side Fox News stories. Basically BNF was highlighting the hypocrisy of a "family values" network — who continue to feign outrage over the morale decline of America — gratuitously showing content that would seem to be exactly of the kind that is the source of...

The Zodiac Killer
By Nick Adams on 02.20.07
As a big fan of David Fincher (I gave him a mulligan for Alien3 and I let him off easy for Panic Room), and as someone who is interested in the mythology surrounding the Zodiac murders, I am looking forward to seeing Zodiac.
I recently read this New York Times article (found via Kottke) about David Fincher's authoritarian film making process. It's always very interesting to see how these guy... Read More
Crap On A Plane
By Nick Adams on 02.16.07
This morning on the way in to the office I heard something on NPR that was pretty funny (apparently it's old news, but it's new news to me). It's was an interview with one of the members of Kasper Hauser comedy troupe about their product SkyMaul, a parody of the typical SkyMall catalog found on airlines.
The parody catalog contains a ton of completely ridiculous yet hilarious items such ... Read More
It's Niiice
By Nick Adams on 11.14.06
The three movies that I can remember making the best use of, or benefiting the most from the Internet have been The Blair Witch Project, Snakes on a Plane, and more recently Borat. Despite the respective internet buzz I never saw the first two in the theaters (and have still yet to see Snakes on a Plane), but this past weekend I broke the trend and saw Borat.
Honestly, I was feeling a littl... Read More
The Design Element
By Nick Adams on 10.25.06
Man, talk about a big undertaking. This graphic from the New York Times illustrates an attempt to redesign the Periodic Table by Jeff Moran of Woodstock, New York.
Moran's redesign addresses the ultimate problem with the existing design: it doesn't scale with the discovery of new elements. The new design attempts to solve this by arranging the elements in a kind of spiral pattern that can g... Read More
Behind the Seen: Vol. 4
By Nick Adams on 10.20.06
It's been awhile since Vol. 3, but here are some things I've been reading, watching, enjoying, etc, for the past week or so. Yep, just me this time. Zack can't post, too busy making us money.
The Tipping Point of Malcolm Gladwell
There is in effect a reverse Tipping Point, the point when we're just, like, so over it. Has Gladwell reached this point? This NY Observer article also asks w... Read More
The Best Laid Plans
By Nick Adams on 10.11.06
There are a million examples of people in careers they never planned on or went to school for. It might even be the more common situation. This is especially evident in the creative fields. How many designers do you know with a psychology degree? Probably a few. I wonder why this is so often the case. Is it because school is a false representation of life in industry? Does it do far too little ... Read More
Less Simple vs Complex
By Nick Adams on 09.18.06
Reading the latest Fireside Chat over at SvN (which has been the most interesting feature on their blog lately) with the brilliant minds of John Maeda and Diego Rodriguez, Matt Linderman summed up a piece of the conversation very intuitively.
diego, intelligible vs. mystifying is a nice reframing of simple vs. complex
This came after Diego was talking about "simplicity" in the car indu... Read More

Screw The Status Quo
By Nick Adams on 09.08.06
Seth Godin posts another great piece over at his blog detailing some statements he's heard or read in response to the posing of a new idea. The post is titled "Top ways to defend the status quo" and if your anything like me, this list hits home and is all too familiar. My favorite is number 3:
Can you show me some research that demonstrates that this will work?
If one thing gets under... Read More
