*I’d love to credit where I stumbled across this but sadly, I just can’t remember. Apologies in advance if it was you.
I’ve never seen or heard of cooking on a salt plate but after this description and its supporting images, I’m sold. You can serve food on it both hot and cold, and as an added bonus, you can put it directly on the grill.
If you haven’t already, I implore you to take a look at the fantastic new site, Lost World’s Fairs, by an all-star crew of dot-commers going by Friends of Mighty. My favorite right now is Atlantis by Frank Chimero but they’re all great in their own ways. The site itself is slightly nerd-eriffic in the fact that it’s mainly set up to show what can be done with text on the web as well as show that Microsoft is starting to come around with their browser situation as well. All nerd-ery aside, the designs themselves are beautiful.
Congrats to those involved that I know personally (Trent Walton & Dave Rupert) and to the others as well.
I’ve never been shy about my love of charity: water and their mission to provide clean water for those who don’t have it around the world. They are celebrating their 5th year of service this month and coincidentally dot-comrade Cameron Moll is doing the same with his fantastic job board, Authentic Jobs. I also love the fact that Cameron chose to create a campaign to give back for his anniversary. As always, I encourage you to give, whether to the AJ charity: water campaign or something else you believe in. If you’re reading this, you’re heavily blessed. Be thankful.
And if you need a little motivation, watch how excited the Bayaka people get over something we [highly] take for granted.
As my list of things in life that I want to learn to do grows, my time to accomplish each task dwindles. Learning to sketch obviously has a higher chance of happening than my most recent scheme, learning to design and create my own clothes. My desire to do so stems more from a chance to get clothes in a fit I love rather than a desire to produce something new an innovative for the masses.
Coincidence that A Continuous Lean posted a video by Oxxford Clothes of Chicago – maker of completely hand-sewn tailored suits – this week showing the painstaking process that goes into creating fine quality clothing by hand? Probably not.

I’ve been pretty fascinated with certain types of illustration as of late and the work of Austin-based designer, Thomas Guy fits the bill nicely. I’ll do my best to not put his entire portfolio here.
