Starred Posts April-June 2008 Part 1

Crapsticks, here is when I remember that my Google Starred Posts have been mounting up. I will endeavour to feed them into AllSaidAndDone in somewhat more managable bites, with a short descriptor on why they were starred, this is as much for my record as for sharing some interesting links. Enjoy.

  • Design Blogs Visited – good resource list from Andrew Haig
  • Davina Zagury – lovely photography
  • Roadmaps: breaking free – freelancing
  • Favorite artist: emmanuel polanco – interesting typography/art

  • Love will win the day – the naked pastor’s thoughts on community
  • Youth Ministry Resources – as it says

  • Photobooth Album – love the idea, doubt my part of Australia has any old photobooths
  • Global Child Prostitution Crisis Surges, demand up, ages down – be aware
  • The other side of the fence – ripper thoughts from Makeesha
  • While pretending not to stare – the hypothetical you is perhaps more interesting
  • Things for sale that I will mail you – I blogged about this already! Astounding ingenuity
  • Print of the day, when do the clocks go back? – lovely art
  • Owl found in the cockpit of a fighter jet – my mum puts photos like this on her fridge
  • Holy fool and francis blessing – ideas from Jonny Baker that I never followed up and should
  • “Hey mister Pulizter man, come and write a song for me” – Bob Dylan gets the Pulitzer, huzzah!
  • Why should we care about mystery stories? – interesting blogging format, translatable to other stuff!

and that better do for now, the computer battery is fast running out. More to come. Oh dear.

Starred Posts: Late Jan – July (Design)

Crikey, it’s been a long time since I’ve done this, and I’m going to pay because there are 60+ well worth going-to posts sitting in Google Reader waiting to be shared. I think I’ll should make this a monthly/bi-monthy effort. But hey, I’m on this beautiful new machine so I might as well hit the list.

To change it up a bit this time I’m going to somewhat categorise the links. As you might have guessed I do read particular types of blogs, design features up there oddly often in the shape of interiors (rather than graphics) I think it is my secret lust of pretty yet functional things. I’d love to have a house I could do anything to and the money to match. Alas I shall for the moment content myself with saliva inducing photographs. Anyway as I was saying, design isn’t probably the highlight of everyone’s day – regardless you should at least venture in to just ONE of these posts if only to expand your mind even if it constricts and flees with horror.

Design/Art/Interiors/Creativity

  • An Angel at my Table {Mari Eriksson} – Decor8 – fairly amazing rooms/setup
  • Blanket Magazine – Poppy Talk – art/design magazine NOT about blankets you stupid person
  • Brown and Green Night – Daily Dose of Imagery – beautiful photography
  • Viva Tera (eco finds for Spring) – Decor8 – check the clock!
  • Office by Vanessa De Vargas – Decor8 – different rooms
  • Monsters and Beasts – Oh Happy Day – cool idea, kids drawings into toys
  • Do You Gocco?–Moleskinerie – interesting printing technique which I’d like to investigate more
  • Labokoff – Decor8 – Photography and paint
  • Grid and Column Designs – Web Designer Wall
  • Art Anyone? – Jason Boucher – Art by Terence Robert, kinda quirky
  • 2008 – Church Marketing Lab Photo Pool – Calendar
  • A kerning joke for the designers among us – About:Blank – Well I get it…
  • Tarzan – Sarah’s Sketches – Ah it’s just good. I love it.
  • Douglas Jones Posters – Poppy Talk – Utter brilliance, hilarity and wit and so on.
  • Pooptricity – Inhabitat – Clever sustainability ideas
  • Half Awake (miniatures) by Erin Tyner – Poppy Talk – Fascinating
  • Clipping Art – Abbey Goes Design Scouting – clever idea
  • A Colourful Community – Way Out West – attracted by the icons really…
  • The Narrow Way Prints Available – Naked Pastor – Must get myself one of these, I LOVE IT.
  • Cassandra Barney – Oh Happy Day – paintings
  • Sweater Alteration – Oh Happy Day – Goodness this is brilliant, try this on for size oh stingy thrifty people.
  • Jonathan Alder’s Monthy Musings – Oh Happy Day – A reminder to self to check it out
  • The Dailies: Laure from Apartment Therapy – Design for Mankind – A reminder to do a Day in the Life photographically (myself)

And that’s all for the design line up this time around, more ‘other’ coming later.
