Stephen Kenn: Inheritance collection LA designer learns of a military surplus facility and upcycles tons of fabric into furniture with a mid-century nod in form. The video tells the story of the vison and spirit of Kenn. I love videos like this, and the Made by Hand series, that show how a maker starts with a pure idea that is imbued with the creator's beliefs and turns it into a usable product. /via Core77
Design Tip: Never Use Black by Ian Storm Taylor "Problem is, we see dark things and assume they are black things. When, in reality, it’s very hard to find something that is pure black. Roads aren’t black. Your office chair isn’t black. The sidebar in Sparrow isn’t black. Words on web pages aren’t black."

"We have been, on a number of occasions, preparing for mass production and in a room and realised we are talking a little too loud about the virtues of something.

MPG - OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion - OS X Mountain Lion: Data Loss via 'Save As' Apple is crazy bold. I wonder how many would go with hiding options like Save As, using a key combination. There are some serious side effects to their hidden save as, by the way, as this post notes, resulting in the need to use the Revert To... feature, a technique also referred to as "unfucking."
