The Round up

What's shakin' sluggers? I can't figure out this scheduling thing for this here round up so this is going to be a roving round up for now.

Enjoy...whenever it happens (which is totally going to be regularly)

To check out:
I am generally jonesing for clever illustrated design-y type things, which, when blended until chunky with my love of NY, THIS wonderful poster of the NY subway system as seen through the eyes of Julia Rothman is the must have of the week.



The little detailed drawings against that putty-colored background would go so nicely on our orange walls. It's all so tiny and intricate you could stare at it for at least an hour. Awesome (via Oh Joy)

To procrastinate: I'm taking some inspiration from the Olympics with this cuddly video about snow sled dogs. Hello world, it's Isabell, the BLIND sled puppy. I mean if she can do it, I can do...something.

What, the Olympics aren't about dogs? Fine. Here's a clever little video from Steven Heller (YES, the same Steven Heller of Iron Fists by Phaidon Press) about the pictograms of the games over the years. And if that isn't enough there's always Izzy the, uh, whatzit. Don't remember him? There's a reason.

Completely unrelated to that thing that's making my shows go to repeat, this is one of the best/ridiculous video lists provide by Time: Top 10 awkward press conferences. A weepy sandford and blubbering Tiger are definitely better the second time around.

To long for: It's randomly cold in my office so I would live for one of these cuddle monsters:

Thanks to New York Fashion Week I'm longing for some architecture in my 'fits. Voila, Karen Walker



Perhaps sans the tall knitted hat.

J.Crew is doing this arch thing nicely and (more) affordably. swoon.

To cuddle:: finally, puppy or baby sheep?



You decide and then send it to me nonetheless. Then check out the rest of the best-named-photo-slideshow from Slate: Animals eating
