I designed a minibook for the anniversary of the Tokyo Type Director’s Club that is running as an exhibition this month in Tokyo at a variety of venues including Tsutaya Roppongi, Ginza Graphic Gallery, and Aoyama Book Center. The contents are visible here.

This weekend I submitted a little book to be published as part of an exhibition in Tokyo of twenty or so folks’ books to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Tokyo Type Director’s Club. It’s 32 pages of random ideas I had last week, and if you’re interested in seeing the rest of them they will be up in Tokyo over the winter holiday season.

Talk of the Nation

I will be speaking on Ira Flatow’ NPR show Talk of the Nation: Science Friday tomorrow. Times in your area can be determined here.

The greatest pleasure of hosting this blog has been all the incredibly rich commentary and insight from readers. Please call into NPR to continue the conversation on the radio.

Great Products

The weather in Chicago is quite beautiful today. I am attending a conference in the area of “design strategy” and am helping to keep their blog moving with Becky Bermont. The entire conference can be reduced to a single question with this poll on great products. My personal bet is on option number three.

For my exhibition in London, I constructed a kind of “fish” constructed of 16 iPod Nanos. Each of the iPods contain a set of sixty-thousand visual memories from my most recent ten years. I think of these memories as constantly swimming away from me — much like an exhibition that has set sail.

Alice Rawsthorn, Design Critic for the International Herald Tribune, wrote a piece about the show from her perspective. The show will be up for another month or so.
