Why

is it that some days I look at myself and think, damn, you are looking good, DP! and then the following day I feel like I look like Rocky Dennis?

American Masters

I was giving a talk to these kids up at Harvard and they asked me, Mr. Porter, what is design? And I said design is the act of deriving form from fragment--you have all these elements and influences and ideas in your head--how do you put it all together? That's design. American Masters filmed the segment for its Great Minds series--should be airing in the Fall; look for it on PBS!

Ha ha just playing. That actually is a good definition of design though huh? Someone asked me that question in an interview--wish I'd said that. Here's a hilarious site called Master Hellahot that I found while searching for American Masters images.

Oh shit

Am I a pedophile because I clicked on that Taylor Momsen flashes at Download Festival pic? I would include it here but I don't want the feds after me. Instead, I'll post this brilliant piece of artwork (by Stephen Savage) that ran with a story about tennis writing in the Times. So simple but such a great idea.

Ortega Hernandez

My wife and I were trying to remember Oscar de la Hoya's name and she goes "Ortega Hernandez?" We both burst into one of those great full-bodied cathartic laughs. The reason Ortega was on her mind was that we had been watching one of the most boring fights in years--the Klitschco/Haye's abomination--and she goes "do you think that boxer really did dress up in women's clothing or were they photoshopped?" I think they're real--despite ex-Scores stripper Milana Dravnel's recanting (who claimed she took the photos)--what do y'all think?

What's your Tweed?

I've been thinking a lot about Twitter lately and I came up with a term for someone's Twitter feed—Tweed (Twitter + feed). You feeling that? Do people already call it that? Or do they just say Aww man you gotta follow my Twitter! Tweed would be better. Anyhow, here's an ad they should use if that's what it's called.
