- SF Welcomes The[Un]Observed
I have found few online resources where it’s possible to find West African Afro beat, reflections on public transport miscommunications, and interviews with the Dame of Punk (she being designer Vivienne Westwood), and it’s not for lack of trying. As someone with undiagnosed ADHD and an affinity for the search bar, the locally based audio [...]
- Alternative Film Showcase Opens at Roxie
After sadly missing The Disposable Film Festival’s first bike-in movie screening, the promise of a full three days of programming seems like a perfect way to kick off the weekend before South by Southwest Film. The festival, which premieres annually in SF before heading to Brussels, Beijing and other host cities and is art directed [...]
- Design + Wine at SFMOMA this Summer
Art aficionados, SOMA residents and winos alike have reason to anticipate summer–usually not San Francisco’s strongest season, but made better with the promise of the launch of the SFMOMA exhibit “How Wine Became Modern” starting in July. The series on “Design + Wine 1976 to Now” will combine artifacts from global wine culture (including bottle [...]
- Digital Printing & Other Tools of Change for Publishing
The concept of content as king was a welcome one upon landing in New York late today, and the Tools of Change for Publishing conference was not a surprising source from which to hear it. Northern California companies Chronicle Books and host O’Reilly (along with Ignite co-founder Brady Forrest) were on hand to talk about [...]
- Hello!Lucky for Love Hangovers
Two creative shops I’ve got my eye on in 2010, video house Lucky NY and local stationary creator Hello!Lucky, have a common fortune theme in their monikers. It’s reason enough for me, especially when both have inventive sets of business partners and the latter’s production facility is within walking distance of my junior one bedroom. [...]
- Ignite Bay Area II: Tickets & talks
In advance of Global Ignite Week, Ms. Carmel Hagen and I are excited to announce the speakers for March 2’s event at Automattic. We hope you can join us for five-minute talks to include achieving enlightenment through nightclubs, a contemporary perspective on marching bands in America, and the opportunity costs involved in modern dating. Tickets [...]
- Companiesandme Launches; Seeks Local Co. Love Stories
Ever liked a company more than a Yelp review can express? Triple Pundit alum Ryan Mickle’s Companiesandme might help should you have a story to share about supporting or founding a local organization, and stories by Joie de Vivre’s Chip Conley and Numi Tea’s Reem Rahim about the inspiration for going their own ways are [...]
- Speak During Global Ignite Week >> Bay Area Edition
The second Ignite Bay Area program on March 2 at Automattic will be a co-ed event to celebrate Global Ignite Week, and partner Carmel Hagen and I are sharing a final call for technical, artistic and otherwise entertaining presentation ideas. Do join (and be quick with your creativity–the program will be announced next week once [...]
- Introducing Shwood Eyewear
Blame it on the Bay Area downpours or being inside for two days (though Alt Summit is a wonderfully design-filled place to be indoors), but when Ignite Bay Area co-founder Carmel Hagen turned me onto Shwood Eyewear I couldn’t even wait to interview the creators before posting. I do love a good pair of wooden [...]
- Alt Summit: Audio & Code Design Edition
The Alt Summit Friday lunch session was one of the better mealtime presentations I’ve seen with its combination of interactive discussions by artist and programmer Erik Natzke (on the weeks that go into coding projects for Nokia and Wired’s NextFest) and mashup creator DJ Earworm (whose “United State of Pop,” below, makes for an addictive [...]
