John Rory Fraser's 16mm black and white film, We Continue in the Old Style, visits Paul's Hat Works in the Richmond district of San Francisco.
Paul's is a 90-year-old men's hatter, now under the ownership of four young women. The film explores their position as women at the heart of a traditionally male-dominated business, as well as their dedication to quality, handmade goods.
Thanks Gabriel!

Core-fave Nicolas Roope, the CEO of both Poke London (a leading interactive design firm) and Hulger (an innovative product design company) is featured on the new series of design interviews put together by Andy Polaine and the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales in Australia.
In this talk with COFA Online, Nik discusses how his traditional training in sculpture has become integrated with his creative approach to design problems. He explains how to approach the development of ideas for projects, and the necessity of understanding the details and essence of the core concept to enable an idea come to life.
More talks from COFA here, including Eva Rucki & Sebastian Noel of Troika, Mark Hauenstein from All of Us, and Brendan Dawes of Magnetic North, with many more to come.

Here's a cute little video from Maya Research that illustrates the hugeness of our digital future: trillions of networked computers representing all scales of information and objects will make up the edgeless ecology of information that we'll be floating in. This is but a small preview of a larger project, so be sure to stay tuned.

The hunt for typography's biggest fan just ended at the door of Post Typography. Aside from running a successful design studio in Baltimore, teaching a class on experimental typography and naming their punk band after a typographic glyph (Double Dagger), Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals just published their first book, Lettering and Type. The book release party, "Fan Letter," took place at MICA and another will happen at The Cooper Union in New York on November 17. The kickoff featured 26 presentations by artists and designers who waxed on about their favorite letter or typographic symbol. The hour long event incorporated motion graphics, storytelling and music performances from an eclectic cast of characters. Check out this video to scratch your typographic itch.
Note: Bruce and Nolen's welcoming address fills the first 7.5 minutes of the video and the video cuts off at the letter T.

Paola Antonelli, design curator at New Yorks Museum of Modern Art, wants to spread her appreciation of design — in all shapes and forms — around the world.
How much do I love Paola’s energy and enthusiams?
Feeling like the world is becoming less friendly? Social theorist Jonathan Zittrain begs to difffer. The Internet, he suggests, is made up of millions of disinterested acts of kindness, curiosity and trust.
0300tv recently shot this video of Atelier Bow-Wow's studios in Tokyo, designed by the firm themselves. From the footage, it's almost impossible to tell what the building looks like as a whole—instead, it's all about situation. The most important spaces found inside and outside the building are highlighted, revealing how they are occupied, used and cluttered. This idea seems central to Atelier Bow-Wow's practice, which they've illustrated so well in their books Graphic Anatomy, a commingling of architectural drawings and everyday scenes, and Pet Architecture, an index of tiny buildings that have been squeezed into leftover spaces.

We've heard it before, but here's proof from the Minnesota State Fair that Senator Al Franken can draw the US map from memory. It's truly amazing.

I am loving In B Flat, an experimental, collaborative video orchestra from Darren Solomon. Each video produces one element of the composition (in B flat), which you can mix together by adjusting the volume sliders. Not to be missed! Give it a try ">here.

Lee Washington, a design student at Central St. Martins in London, has invented an ingenious way to keep those iPod headphones from tangling up every time you throw them in your bag. So simple and so satisfying.
