Wine game
Earlier this month, video-game maker Square Enix (the company behind the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series) released Wine no Hajimekata DS, a wine tasting game for the Nintendo DS. The game teaches wine enthusiasts how to taste and pair wines, and to facilitate the process, the first 1,000 units include a bottle of Dourthe No. 1. There isn’t an English version of the game yet, but I’m waiting for them to release a whiskey game. [kill an hour playing Submarine Zero]

Giant office supplies add to an office space atmosphere, creating a playground rather then a space for corporate duldrums to wander aimlessly. This was originally created to separate the four sections of a London office so buyers could see each one differently. But I rather see it as a chance to feel as if we shrank. Fun! Read more

There are few more joys an artist has in life than coming across great resources for inspiration. Lately I’ve been studying typography, the meaning of words, and then something as simple as trying to find all the ’7 letter words’ I can so that it might fit into my latest musings. Read more
