After seeing an article about bicycles in a Danish fashion magazine for men called Euroman, I thought it necessary to pen this post. The Euroman article was about ‘cool’ bikes and the bikes were, by and large, frightfully expensive racers. Considering the fact that this magazine attempts to represent ‘cool’ Danish men, it was odd that their article reeked a bit too much of ‘toys’ and ‘gear’. The bikes, with the exception of the Bullitt by Larry vs. Harry, were not bicycles ridden around Copenhagen by bespoke sartorial-minded gentlemen.

Vancouver designers 10four design group has created Adanac (get it?). A handsome looking sans serif font that is their hat tip to Canadian culture. The free downloadable font comes with a tongue-in-cheek alphabet. A few examples below:

Don’t be nervous buddy. We got your back.
But if you do get nervous, we’ll carry you in.

Well, it’s just a Tumblr blog and it’s something I kinda wanted to do for fun:
Look for cool pictures of old-school journalists and put them in one place. So, I give you my tribute to journalism

I’ll be making changes and improvements in the coming weeks. But for now, it’s barebones but it’ll suffice.

All sorts of really smart, nerdy, hot babies. Also, lots of fun time-wasting blog action.

Helping run a books blog pretty much means my reading rate has drastically increased. A couple of things that I managed to tackle lately:
The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet, by Reif Larsen Krippendorfs Tribe download
This is Penguin Canada’s big title for the summer and you know what, it’s going to be a hit. It’s the story of a 12-year-old cartographic genius who tries to make his way to the Smithsonian by riding the rails. The book is twee, precious, adorable, beautifully written and illustrated.
The Cello Suites, by Eric Siblin
One Night in the Tropics buy Blondie on a Budget movie Part travelogue, part music history lesson, part historical mystery, Siblin’s book was a joy to read. Best accompanied by the Cello Suites themselves.
What Would Google Do?, by Jeff Jarvis
A great book by one of the most interesting media thinkers around right now. My review of the book ran in the Post here.
