Bloging about being blogged
Check out the “Hella Ballou” post on Core 77. It’s great to be mentioned on one of the blogs that I check on a regular basis.
Salvage
My friend John Douglas is somehow the guy in charge of a 30,000 sq ft warehouse in South Central LA. Last night he invited a handful of friends over to share what the heck he’s been up to in there. The sheer size of the place is really overwhelming. The warehouse was mostly taken up ...
THREAT
I was in NYC this past weekend for the American Design Club’s newest exhibition “THREAT”. I created the Who’s There Chair for the show. The AmDC is an amazing group of young designers that promote creative, American design. There are much better photo galleries of the event on Core 77 and the AmDC’s facebook page, ...

Somehow the product ended up on Beavis and Butthead, which ties my teenage and professional life together quite nicely. Here is a link to the episode. The device appears around 5:27.
