The Most Powerful Photos of 2011
Being as busy as I am, I often let current events and hard news fall to periphery of my day-to-day focus. Also, being a highly visual person means that I like to interpret information in that form. Buzzfeed’s Most Powerful Photos of 2011 is an awe-inspiring collection of images that span all news categories and something I really responded to.

Illustrated series on urban architecture around the world
In an effort to maintain high creative standards, part of my company is a boutique in-house design agency I co-head with Glenn Michael called Moxy Creative. He recently released this beautiful illustrated series, called Touristique, examining urban architecture around the world. We produce prints of all the work we do, and one of the favorite parts of my job is seeing the spaces people hang them in all around the world.
Pantonism: the Art of Matching Influence
Websites like Tumblr, Pinterest, and Piccsy (shameless plug) are changing the way people relate to images by making everyone a curator of their own aesthetic corner of the web. This is a great form of new media that’s going to go through major growth – both in regards to adoption and technology – in coming years. Pantonism is a great example of what can be done with this technology, and combines my love of fashion, technology, and the arts seamlessly.
I’m a huge strategy/product/UI/web nerd and believe that a core element of great design is an ability to improve peoples’ everyday lives. Little Big Details is my favorite UI site. Pictured here is a feature that Google Doodles you a happy birthday based on your Google+ settings. Regardless of its current/future success, watching Google+ roll-out and integrate with other Google Products this year has been a lot of fun.

His name is Marshall. At just over 8 months old, you don’t need to be clucky to appreciate his outfits: from Baby Gap to Cheap Monday, and sometimes not much more than a cheeky grin. This bub oozes charisma and his clothes suit him to a tee (pun intended).
So much of the Baltimore scene seems geared towards day-glo-clad party people, so it’s nice that introspective, country-tinged folk is also well represented here in the form of Noble Lake, a Wye Oak-related project fronted by James Sarsgaard, who I hope won’t mind me calling the second coming of Townes Van Zandt.
