The beauty of print

Sometimes print can say what digital editions simply cannot. Simply brilliant.

Special thanks to our favorite sports-lovin' designer George Garrestegui for the find and the image. 

We've got you covered (in gloom and doom) this holiday season

Did Allstate (and their new ad agency) cook up another ridiculous promotion with the New York Times?

You may remember that they previously had just swiped some Saul Bass looking type for some banner ads (discussed here.)

Now they're full-on sponsoring NY Times Casts, supposed little time capsules about what happened on this day in history. Guess what happened? Catastrophes! Airplane Crashes! Bad health insurance! Nukes! Auto accidents! Would things have gone better if the TimesCastees were in Allstate's good hands?

Marry the DJ

I love it when my own interests intersect. Remember I posted about that tiny little radio station on the Lower East Side? Apparently the tiny little DJ inside just got married, and her wedding was featured in the Combat Sports Style Section of the New York Times.

And apparently she is actually tiny and eats only seeds. She also reportedly has eyes the color of Coca-Cola (no word on whether that's caffeine free or regular). Weird when you find out that people are having lives outside of the little boxes we see them in!
