Inspiration Friday, April 29, 2011 at 11:29AM Inspiration Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 9:50AM "While gains in digital sales might signal a shift away from sales of physical music, sales of vinyl albums grew by 33%, with 2.5 million vinyl units sold (in 2009)....Also notable is the fact that two out of every three vinyl albums were purchased at an independent music store"
We went to 5 record stores in Chicago last Saturday morning, and every store was packed by 9am. There were enough special releases and bargains to get every vinyl loving hipster out of bed by 8AM on a Saturday.
Make your own conclussions about record sales, but this makes me happy. Itunes, you can take the day off.

Inspiration Monday, December 27, 2010 at 11:20AM On a recent visit to the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing ...a short video of Simon Heijdens beautiful instlallation titled "Shade". Up close it looks like automatic on/off privacy film for glass, cut into shapes and individually linked to controllers.
Inspiration, Technology Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at 8:58AM If you are walking to the West Hall in Chicago to visit IMTS 2010, you might have noticed artist Nick Cave's Sound Suit Shop located at Michigan and 23rd. Like tradeshows, this pop up shop is only here for a week and has a few interesting displays (not to mention art). The video installation runs from 8-9pm until September 19th, and has also been featured in Benneton stores all across Europe. For more information, check out soundsuitshop.com.
