Here’s a new app from Distill that lets you consume the magazine on your iPhone [via CaT]. I wouldn’t have thought that this would work, but it looks pretty great. Maybe it chops up the information into segments that mirror how your eye naturally reads through a magazine – looking at images first and then reading more? At least for a design magazine this might be the case. What do you think?

My love of hoods can lead to disappointment sometimes. I clicked through to this Gilt sale, and it’s all Ann Taylor style clothes.

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.

A central aesthetic principle in Japan is simplicity, but it is different from simplicity in the West. Let me explain the difference by comparing cooking knives. The knives made by the German company, Henckel, for example, are well crafted and easy to use because they are highly ergonomic. The thumb automatically finds its place when you grab the knife.

Japanese cooks who have special skills prefer knives without any ergonomic shape. A flat handle is not seen as raw or poorly crafted. On the contrary, its perfect plainness is meant to say, “You can use me whichever way suits your skills.” The Japanese knife adapts to the cook’s skill (not to the cook’s thumb).

I want to do this and program it to turn on at the specific sunset time each day. I’m sure there’s a way to connect the light to weather.com’s sunset times for a specific city through Arduino, no? It would be cute (or nauseating) to get a pair of these for a long-distance relationship, each person getting the other’s city.
