End inequitable orgasm!

[imomus]

A couple of cool things to show you before dashing for my Tokyo flight...

Rubenmichi are Ruben and Michi, a painter and a designer based in Madrid. They're branching out into making soft toys, and their latest 'rubenmichi pet' is... a Momus toy! Eat your heart out, Topo the rabbit! (Or mine, perhaps...)



The dolls are for sale, apparently.

I spent a few hours today writing my new piece for the AIGA Voice, 'Design as Religion'. These little sermons are commissioned by Steve Heller of AIGA. Steve is senior art director of the NYT Book Review and a one-man industry when it comes to design books. Googling for his e mail address I found this tremendously cool photo of Steve from his New York Free Press days (back in 1968, in fact) and thought I'd share it with you. 'End Inequitable Orgasm' is the most succinct fusion of Marx and Freud I think I've heard.

Clans have their own websites?

Some years ago, I was thinking that, if Scotland ever becomes sufficiently independent to get its own top-level internet domain, it could set up a '.clan' (or '.cl') subdomain under it, allowing clan chieftains to have clan web sites/mail services under it (or else flogging the domains to wealthy Americans celebrating their 1/16 Scottish heritage).

Oh, it's practically an industry (little old ladies with clan pins and snappy wool sweaters have needs too). But in this case, this site has some pertinent information regarding the Currie tartan:

The tartan remained in a restricted state, i.e. solely for the use of the Balilone and Garrachoran line of Currie’s until 1991. This explains the virtual absence of the tartan from many of the standard tartan publications, which have never maintained complete catalogs of the vast array of registered tartans. The tartan was adopted as the official tartan for the entire clan in 1992.

All these tartans look a lot better when you imagine them swishing around the loins of a Japanese schoolgirl, of course.
