Most Amazing Thing Ever: Oscar Diaz Ink Calendar

I read about this in Modern Magazine (yay free copy from Merchandise Mart):

Ink Calendar by Oscar Diaz

Every month starts out as an all-white paper conjoinment of numbers. Place the end in its ink bottle (different colors for different months based on color and perceived climate temperatures) and the paper absorbs the ink so that every day, the new date fills with color.

Wow. Consider my mind blown.

Check out Oscar Diaz's website, including the Ink Calendar (under "Projects").
Brilliant.

more awesome


BeanSproutStudio Amy is awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. I still have to pick my color scheme if it's going to be branding my universe. I like the orang a lot, but maybe something other than the light blue? I usually gravitate towards red and purple, but I'm flexible, especially since I'm really liking these colors but I might get sick of them together long-term.

Perhaps I'll spend a few hours on COLOURlovers.com. It's one of my favorite time sucks already. You can create/discover your own, rate, and comment on other people's colors, then use those colors to create palettes and use palettes to create patterns. Basically, it's a celebration of color and color in contrast with other color and using those colors as design elements.

From their about page:

COLOURlovers™ is a resource that monitors and influences color trends. COLOURlovers gives the people who use color - whether for ad campaigns, product design, or even in architectural specification - a place to check out a world of color, compare color palettes, submit news and comments, and read color related articles and interviews.
You get the idea. Anyway, I'll probably be using it already to choose paint colors for the condo I bought today, so why not?

Making a difference

I was just poking through the Etsy gift guide and I saw TWO of my suggestions from the "gift guide suggestions" forum thread back to back! I feel so special. I am an arbiter of taste and a helper of friends. Observe:
