THIS friggin thing looks amazing.
No show, not even Jersey Shore, can satisfy as much as Doctor Who. Sure it may not have a very high budget, can be pretty campy, and some of the plots can be completely bizarre – but nothing beats it. No other show has had as creative of plots as Doctor Who, and it shows, it’s all in the staying power. Doctor Who has been around since 1963, and I would say is still as, if not even more, beloved.
And now, for the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor, we have an entirely new logo:

PBS has the Art:21 series available streaming online. Each of the 16 available episodes loosely focuses on a different theme such as humor, paradox, romance, and time with a few awkward celebrity intros scattered throughout that are easily fast-forwarded.
This show is really amazing. I watched a few episodes last week and was left with my mind wandering through the weekend. Cowboy plants fence post, old southern lawyer installs white paintings, and I swear one of the artists says “Game recognize game.” This a broad description of course. Louise Bourgeois is fantastic as always and I’m glad they don’t focus on her severed penis sculptures for to long.
“Art:21–Art in the Twenty-First Century” is the only series on television to focus exclusively on contemporary visual art and artists in the United States, and it uses the medium of television to provide an experience of the visual arts that goes far beyond a gallery visit. Fascinating and intimate footage allows the viewer to observe the artists at work, watch their process as they transform inspiration into art, and hear their thoughts as they grapple with the physical and visual challenges of achieving their artistic visions.”
Watch.
New Rail Alphabet
“Rail Alphabet is a typeface designed by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert for British Railways. First used by them in signing tests at London’s Liverpool Street Station, it was then adopted by the Design Research Unit (DRU) as part of their comprehensive 1965 rebranding of the company.
In 2009, a newly-digitised version of the typeface was publicly released. Created by Henrik Kubel of A2/SW/HK in close collaboration with Margaret Calvert, New Rail Alphabet features six weights: off white, white, light, medium, bold and black, with non-aligning numerals, corresponding italics and a set of Eastern European characters.”

And like anything new, its for sale. I mean really not much of a big difference but I guess the subtleties make the difference in alignment.
NEKST December 4th, 2009
I forgot how dope Nekst is! That is all.
If you read my post about this past week being free at MOCA and The Geffen then you know how excited I was to see Chris Burden’s, The Big Wheel. Well the God’s were on my side when I notice a crowd around this woman struggling to start an old blue Triumph that powers….THE BIG WHEEL. It is a display of power and fluidity that most be felt in person. You become the moth to the flame forgetting all about the power it wields. Until the security guard reminds you that it’s a bad idea to be two feet from a 3 tons of kinetic energy.
I was told that twice a day someone starts the motorcycle up, I was around 3:30, F.Y.I.
More of my favorites when you read more…
