“Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.” - David Herbert Lawrence
Flex fights back with thermo
Thermo.Thermo allows designers to use the tools they love (like the mouse…) and to draw the application as that want it. Thermo will then convert, on the fly (or when imported from a program like photoshop) the graphics into mxml! Perfect! It even allows for visual tweaking of motions and ...

In the 1970s, Japanese photograhper Kohei Yoshiyuki stumbled upon a couple in a park engaged in sexual activity in the darkness and, somewhat more curiously, two men creeping towards the couple, watching them. Over many months, he followed these voyeurs in the park, befriended them, and outfitted his camera with ...
International Talk Like A Pirate Day
The Basics
Pirate lingo is rich and complicated, sort of like a good stew. There are several other sites that offer glossaries that are pretty good, and you can find some of them on tlap site.
But if you just want a quick fix, a surface gloss, a "pirate patina," if you ...
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Wow every shot in this movie looks brilliant.

Radio Lab
Radio Lab (iTunes podcast link) is what you’d get if you put Freakonomics, Malcolm Gladwell, and This American Life in a blender.
Each episode of the folksy science show is “a patchwork of people, sounds, stories and experiences centered around One Big Idea.” The banter between hosts Jad Abumrad & Robert ...
Awesome Video
The alternate video for the Kanye West track "You Can't Tell Me Nothin", featuring Zach Galifianakis and Will Oldham, is the single greatest music video ever put to tape. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face as I watched the entire thing.
Ingmar Bergman
A pioneer of film dies at the age of 89. Bergman directed some of the greatest films ever made — Summer with Monica, The Virgin Spring, Persona, Cries and Whispers and Scenes from a Marriage were among his other titles. He directed his first film in 1945, and first gained ...
Diesel: Global Warming Ready
Is there something strange about this campaign? I feel at odds with it, I like the idea and concept but the notion that the world as we know it is underwater or surrounded by dessert and models nonchalantly finding some sort of peace with their surrounding creates a rift ...

Twitter Stats
While I typically think that Twitter falls a bit on the insipid and self-involved side of the web 2.0 technologies it is undeniably good for one thing - generating stats. Well, to be more specific, this application is great for generating stats based off of public twitter user updates.

Some amazing flash script work and design interactions.
Shepard Fairey for Obama
Shepard Fairey is well known for his prolific stickering and flyposting of his propaganda-style images. While we at CR are well aware of his ability to stick his images just about anywhere in any city, we’re still surprised to see his the hot-off-the-press posters he’s created in support of Senator ...
