Awesome Food Truck Chart from New York Magazine
I’ve always been a fan of illustrated vehicles, but this collection of food trucks in New York from New York Magazine takes it to a new level of usefulness and aesthetic interestingness. Hopefully next year they can include carts like http://twitter.com/CalexicoCart. Read More
Video of Mission Street Food in SF
A couple months ago (seems like years now) I was raving about Mission Street Food in this blog post about my dinner that I had with Steve Portigal in SF. Steve Passed me along a video that talks about how the idea came to be and the people behind it. It’s kind of long at 13 minutes, but very much worth the watch. If you happen to be in SF or visiting and are wondering what... Read More
Link Drop (8·07·09)
It’s been a bit of an up and down week over here at DesignNotes. I’ve been under the weather of most of the week which is highly unusual, and on the flip side the weather outside has been actually pretty decent. In more relatable Link Drop news, I found that the sites I spent time with has a lot of personal expressing in them. There’s a bunch of interviews, process... Read More
Link Drop (7·31·09)
This week’s version of Link Drop has a healthy does of me at the beginning. When I read about other bloggers and their exploits, sometimes I think it’s cool to see, other times perhaps not. So if you’re in the perhaps not camp, please scroll quickly to link #4. Overall I came across a bit of everything, there’s lot’s of publishing stuff, both online... Read More
Mission Street Food, how I wish I was back in SF for one more meal
Yesterday I talked about my great iPhone map experience of not getting lost in SF because of technology. Today I thought I’d go in a different low–fi dinning experience direction. Searching for food online, looking at yelp or if you’re in NYC reading http://lunchstudio.blogspot.com can be helpful in finding unexpected places to eat. But if I look back at last Saturday...

DesignNotes Ten Design-Related Blogs from NYC
A couple weeks ago Blogs.com asked me if I was willing to pass them on a list of design blogs based in NYC (I considered Brooklyn as part of this list) of my choosing. I thought it wouldn’t be that tough—but of course it was, not because of the quantity but because design for me can be a fairly broad term. There’s a lot of categories that blur into each other. To... Read More
The engineering feat of the shotcake
Over at Daylife HQ on Friday night there was a small gathering to celebrate Yuri’s Night, the World Party. Being more attuned to design stuff, Yuri’s Night 2009 was a new concept to me. It’s an interesting idea and who can argue with a party that can last 207 days? Aside from learning about the idea of celebrating space exploration—a co–worker made quite possibly... Read More

Link Drop Contextd for the Week Ending in Friday the 23rd (January 2009)
As I’m focusing more on quality vs quantity it’s interesting to see how smaller patterns emerge after a weeks worth of filtering. This week seemed to be a combo of ux, tech and ideas – not a huge departure from most of my Link Drop Contextd’s I realize. What is different again is the format. Still tweaking it a bit. Aside from the size of images and format the... Read More
12 months of condensed DesignNotes in 2008
Wanting to take a look back so I can figure out how to proceed with 2009, I grabbed a bunch of notable posts that I thought were worth spending a bit more time with. Below each image I’ve made a note now that I’ve had some time away from each of the original posts. Here’s to the new year and thanks for visiting, and linking and commenting and… Do you have...
