The art and architecture of Le Corbusier.
It’s interesting to note how the architecture in the third image matches our expectation of ‘modern’ but not the furniture and the art pieces.. I’m also rather enamoured by the sixth image (that ceiling! the colours!).
Work: “Hi! How are you? Hope you’re feeling better. Just to let you know, we’re implementing some new anti-fraud measurements. So, HR needs to know where you were working between October 2006 and February 2007?”
Me: “Er, I was working for you guys..”

I like everything to be clean, and gray is clean. Gray is between black and white, so it’s a noncolor, almost. I feel messy and unclean if I wear other colors. - Five New Yorkers Who Only Wear One Colour.
I bet you can find Copenhageners who only wear beige. Or navy.
How badly do I want this uppercase scarf? Pretty badly, I tell you. The scarf led me on a typographic journey of the net which yielded new interesting sites: the & Blog, Bembo’s Zoo which is seriously cool, FontStruct which lets you design your own (very basic) typefaces, and, er, The Swedish Furniture Name Generator.
Hey, […]

Wheylona and I go back a decade (gosh). We first met when she worked in Sweden and was heading with friends to Denmark for a concert. I remember us walking through the streets of Copenhagen singing History Never repeats (youtube link) about twenty minutes after meeting for the first time. Ten years on, the American […]
How good are you at recognising fonts? I got a measly 24 right out of 34. At least I still know my Helvetica from my Arial. It’s all in the curves, baby.
I have actually been watching quite a bit of TV lately. BBC4 is having a rather funky Medieval Season, so I’ve been lapping […]
Me mam’s apparently doing a bit better. It’s slightly strange to be in another country and not being able to rush to the hospital.
Somebody at BBC is my new friend. Stephen Fry & the Gutenberg Press is showing on BBC4 tonight so whoever greenlighted that show gets to be my friend. Yes I’ll sit there […]
Very cool: Cardboard art. You take a piece of cardboard, sneakily remove the flat top layer so the corrogated inner workings are revealed, add a dash of colour and you’ve got art! Okay, it’s a bit more complicated than that but it’s very nifty.

We went to the hospital today for a long-awaited appointment. I have been undergoing epilepsy tests but they came out negative. No abnormal electrical currents or any abnormal brain structures - I’m relieved that I’m not dying of a brain tumour and I’m frustrated that I could not get a clear, concise answer to wtf […]
