The second of today’s posts featuring old photos is a series containing 95 photos taken during the Civil War. The Civil War has become sort of an abstract event for me. It’s one of those things that I’ve read about, learned about, researched, etc. – but it doesn’t quite seem real. It’s too difficult to imagine a time when people in America owned other people, a time when a war was fought in my own...

So I came across this video tonight, a perfectly odd plug for what will undoubtedly be a perfectly odd Wes Anderson film titled Moonrise Kingdom. For those who don’t know, Bill Murray – in real life – is a weird guy. Don’t get me wrong, I love him, but that doesn’t change the fact he’s a weird guy.

But this video is really interesting, so I’m posting it despite it’s 10 minute run-time. The video, hosted by the one and only Alan Alda, features a man named Joe who had the two halves of his brain separated to ease chronic epileptic...

A friend emailed me a link to Patrícia Póvoa’s artwork, and I quickly became one of her biggest fans. I’m particularly fond of minimalist design (nerd alert), especially when it pertains to posters, and below are some fun examples of what I’m talking about. I’d love to see her continue this and some of her other series, because frankly, I could browse through this stuff all...
