How it's made, I'm sure we've all seen at least one episode of the show that seems to captivate audiences with the process of how things are made. But even more so, now people have been creating their own content that follows the "how it's made" concept. I thought I'd bring two interesting examples that...
I'm not a longtime cyclist or even a good one. My wife and I purchased bikes after my daughter learned how to ride one without training wheels this summer. So our participation in Ciclavia two weekends ago was also our introduction. It's a cool concept, blocking off streets so that Los Angelenos (and anyone else) can...
When I knew Jordan Price, he was living in New York and living as a fine artist, weaning away from shoe customizing. He had been a graffiti artist before that. A few years ago, he moved back to San Francisco and has been working as a UI/UX designer. He has recently been featured in various...
You might have picked up on the fact that we're pretty huge fans of POW! WOW! I was fortunate enough to attend the Hawaiian artist summit back in 2013.

They also took home the gold in the coffee beer category for their custom roasted Mocha Machine. They will...
Intrigued by the Urban Death Project, I reached out to founder Katrina Spade to learn more about the solution she created in response to the overcrowding of city cemeteries. She developed a sustainable method of disposing of our dead and a new ritual for laying our loved ones to rest. The Urban Death...
I recently watched Print The Legend, a fascinating documentary on the race to produce high-quality, affordable desktop 3D printers. The Netflix Original by Luis Lopez & Clay Tweel follows the rise and transformation of MakerBot, from open source startup community to privately-owned closed source corporate giant, and also looks closely at Kickstarter phenom Formlab and...
This must surely be the year of the pool. First, there was the world's LARGEST pool. And then there was the hidden, SECRET pool. And now, here is the world's DEEPEST pool. Unlike the other two however, this bottomless behemoth of a pool will be put to a bit more functional use such as for...
