I've spent way too much time playing with Wordle this week and thought I should share. Wordle.net is a free site that generates 'word clouds', a graphic of text that emphasizes frequent text more prominently. You can tweak your word cloud by altering the font, design, and color. To create you own word cloud you can copy and paste text, enter the URL of a blog feed (like I did below for eat.live.modern), or enter a del.icio.us user name to see their tags. Have fun wordle-ing!
Giving a shout out to Paper Punk who needs additional backers to fund their idea. Go to Kick Starter to see all the details of the edgy paper building blocks and to make your pledge. There's also a nice article on Fast Company about Paper Punk and their vision behind their carefully designed products.

This is an idea I've had for awhile - so I am glad to see it come to life. A nightstand with water feature equals genius. Who doesn't need a cold glass of water to quench their thirst bedside? A few design tweaks to this model by designer Leon Rasmeier to make it more appealing and discrete, and I'll purchase one!
Hola. Here are some photos from this weekend's 2011 Modern Atlanta Home Tour. It was a great showcase of design and material with an innovative use of space.

This week is one of my favorite events in Atlanta - the Modern Atlanta Home Tour and design events. The program kicked off last night with the Modern Atlanta launch party with exibitions and a taste of the tour. Some favorites of the night included the Big Ass Fan company (here's a residential gallery), modern architecture firm Dencity (images of their work are here), and SCAD's student work such as the 9-2-5 Clock which you can purchase from shopSCAD.
Check out all the Modern Atlanta events on their website. And more importantly, stay tuned for some amazing pics from the Home Tour!
