Been following Design Sponge for years. They’re still putting out a full stream of samples of great design.
Anne Jackson
Anne is working at the ole’ LifeChurch.tv these days. She always has interesting things to say and is open and transparent about how she gets to where she’s going.
Alltop.com
When Guy Kawasaki first launched alltop a few months ago, I wasn’t so sure about it. I’ve grown to love it, and you might too. It’s a one-stop shop for all the top bloggers of a particular topic. He’s growing the list everyday.
I’ve really been into Frontline Documentaries lately..
There site isn’t just a place to point people for “more information” but it really does expand on the content of their documentaries. Worth a visit…you can watch most things online in their entirety.
This week in Prefab
April 21, 2008
The Jeriko House.
This really is minimalist modern in a large package. The Jeriko House has really clean lines, and full cadre of possible layouts and configurations. It’s really a beautiful design, though maybe a bit too much of a throwback to mid-century modern for me.
Man I love the possibilities of greenliness, customizability, and reproduction of modern prefab…
It seems, more and more that eco-friendly and sustainable design is at the heart of this movement. I just hope it bleeds out from downtown lofts into first ring suburbs and non-commercial areas of the city…
This was a true blessing.

This week in Prefab: MKLotus
April 14, 2008
The MKLotus from Michelle Kauffman.
This is a brilliant little prefab model starting at $125,000. The basic floorplan is fantastic with upfront living space open to the kitchen than back to the bed/bath.
I really love it; I love the built in veranda and the grassy knoll on the roof. I love the accordian wall of glass and the open floor plan with tons of glass.
Inhabitat featured it last fall.
The Bishop (from Neeraj)

Bishop Desmond Tutu was in North Minneapolis this Saturday.
Love Minneapolis was there doing their thing…Simple Acts of Service.
AMP
April 9, 2008
Today, I got rid of Joost and downloaded Adobe Media Player, realeased today…
(AMP).
It’s cleaner looking and cleaner in the sense that there isn’t all the smut that Joost has.
I think Adobe is going to do well with this product. It’s on par with adobe’s other apps. Nice GUI, simple, and modern. As long as they continue to grab good content, they’ll do a good job in the market.

Design and the Elastic Mind
March 18, 2008
This is a truly brilliant interface design. It’s so effective and representative for the content it displays.
Design and the Elastic Mind is an interactive exhibit through MOMA (Museum of Modern Art).
The exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history—changes that demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior—and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use. This Web site presents over three hundred of these works, including fifty projects that are not featured in the gallery exhibition.
