Giving Tuesday…
Giving Tuesday After all the hype around Black Friday, Cyber Monday and now even Grey Thursday it seems the spirit of the season might easily be taken over with shopping fever.

Social Capital and Prestalgia
This week the conversation was kicked off by coWORKer Tom Harrison, our cartographer of hiking map fame. What started off as a question about an installation he’s planning for next year’s Burning Man turned into the larger question of how do we incorporate the utopic principles lived on the Playa into our daily lives.

Much of it was sourced at my favorite mod retailer, Vintage Style. I’d peeked in one night and was waiting for a good reason to visit. The August 17th Grand […]

Click here to see some great photos from the Mid-Mod Soiree! What a night!
