Anyone else obsessed with calendars?
I LOVE calendars. Or anything organizational for that matter. But sometimes calendars and notebooks (especially when you own them by the truckload) can get bulky and overwhelming. Enter: Fedrigoni 2010. A day-by-day calendar from Studio8 that looks like a stack of Post-Its (and only takes up that much space). Check it out (via design-milk).
Studio8’s 2010 calendar is a unique alternative to...

It feels sort of wrong to take this quote out of its brilliantly designed context, but these are wise words.

Bromley Mountain →
Heading here for a weekend of skiing, tubing and ice skating with some awesome people. Of the last two times I went skiing, one ended with a broken arm and the other included me faceplanting into the mountain. Let’s hope third time’s a charm!

lindsayrobertson:
[This is long and obvious, but it’s been driving me nuts for years. So here is my Guide to Online Publicity (For Dummies).]
There’s a question that has been bugging me for years: why are 99% of publicists and promotion/marketing people complete useless failures when it comes to blogs and online outlets? I keep waiting...

6 Foursquare Apps We'd Love to See →

adamiss:
MenuSquare and OrderSquare seem fun and useful. As a foodie that doesn’t go out as much as some of you, sometimes I don’t want to check-in, but use FourSquare as another resource to figure out where my Pad Thai should come from.
I could easily see a SeamlessWeb/Menu Pages/FourSquare integration really working.

Conan Wants To Leave NBC →
soupsoup:
“This level of sh- - -iness was not expected,” one source said.
“He’s done a great job for NBC. He moved his entire staff, he moved his family to LA. And five months later, they repay him like this?”
As it stands now, the source said, “Conan would be happier somewhere else.”
Do you blame the guy? IMO, if NBC had just let Leno and Conan stay in their respective slots for about 5...

The Case for 3-D
newsweek:
Though we’re not totally convinced that people are going to want to pay $2,000 to sit around their living rooms in goggles that make them look ridiculous, Summers makes a good argument for why 3-D TV is the future:
Why does anyone born after 1980 still pay for cable? That brings me to ESPN 3-D. For me, the only reason is sports. Mad Men, 30 Rock—if I canceled, I could still get...

– Lyons, on Nexus One (via newsweek)
If Google is the new Microsoft, I wonder to what end will other companies try to take it down. Will this become an all-out battle of Google vs. the World? And when does it end? You know what would be great? If Apple somehow came around and beat the crap out of...

Thoughts? Will you buy it? I (probably) will cause I’m a sucker for the newest, shiniest Apple toys.
Update: Now also picked up by Mashable.
Except I’m pretty sure I will not have $1000 to invest in a tablet… shame.
Agency of the Decade →
In a decade during which almost all of the world’s largest public relations agencies—nine out of the top 10—were owned by giant publicly-traded, advertising-dominated holding companies, Edelman’s performance demonstrated that independence was not a liability; that it could, properly leveraged, be turned into a significant source of competitive advantage.
Edelman began the decade as the world’s...
