Dan Gilbert on our mistaken expectations [ted talk]
I didn’t plan to watch this entire Ted talk, but it happened to be one I couldn’t pause. It challenges the traditional view of happiness, considers the psychology of thinking and inspires a new model of decision making. Yet, in the end, I can’t seem to get past my old, ingrained processes. Regardless, the video provides an entertaining and thought-provoking thirty minutes.
Dan Gilbert presents research and data from his exploration of happiness — sharing some surprising tests and experiments that you can also try on yourself.

After its two highly successful predecessors, Büro Destruct gives us Büro Destruct III, a comprehensive 208-page update on the trailblazing design collective.
Fueled by musical inspirations and a fresh dose of lighthearted humour, the works featured in this book include the entire spectrum of the experimental work they have created for clients.
The book demonstrates the distinctive Büro Destruct style they continue to refine, polish and develop throughout the entire spectrum of their experimental work with characteristic sophisticated vector graphics and playful use of typography.
Available October 2009.

Incspring needed a rebranding?
If you’re a long time reader you know of my disdain for the self-misrepresenting Incspring which claims to be a “branding” website, but is in fact nothing more than a logo site that’s taken advantage of consumers and reduced the credibility & understanding of what “branding” really is.
In fact, Incspring is so oblivious to its own misunderstanding of the idea of “branding” that it changed its logo within the first month of being open and now has changed its name completely to Brandstack. Claiming to soon be adding new features and still lying with the tagline of “Worlds Biggest Brand Marketplace”, they praise themselves in a recent blog post for adjusting a common looking logo from their site and throwing on the new name.
The new logo isn’t anything special and in fact reminds me of this ending from a lot of 80s TV shows where the guy throws paper from his typewriter. Not to mention it looks like about 10 other logos on the site.
Now, I think this goes without saying, but 3 redesigns in a year, including a complete name change, sounds like something that could have been avoided had they gone through the complete branding process, where they evaluate their targets, their goals, what they want the company to become (instead of just what it is) and all the tiny nuanced details that go into branding that IncStack has demeaned into nothing more than a logo, a website and some letterheads.
I cannot say it enough: This site is garbage.

Banksy’s latest exhibition opens tomorrow in Bristol. Here’s a preview. Following is my favorite piece from the pictures I’ve seen thus far. Jealousy ensues.

The still shot may not say much about the video, but it’s there only because I am unable to post the actual video that you can watch here.
This awesome stop-motion music video for the The Schla La Las was animated entirely with Lego. It was created by Ben Cowell, a 3D animator at Nexus Productions in London. A must watch, and don’t forget to read the making of.
