Really digging the work of designer-turned-photographer Nick Onken. Because with one more handsome portrait of Maura Tierney out there in the world, we are not any worse off.

This one is like the Usain Bolt of rock songs — so damn fast, with a flash of style at the finish.

Speakers dotting the property of the Postcard Inn on St. Pete Beach treat guests to a daylong, just-about-perfect vacation playlist. For any Florida weekenders out there, I highly recommend the PCI for it’s fresh redesign, on-site barbecue and flawless song choice — including this one.

A Love Letter For You is an ambitious series of 50 rooftop murals created by ESPO in partnership with The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. The phrases are playful and sincere, and sure to bring joy to anyone traveling through Philly on the Market-Frankford Line.

Beau Bergeron is a fellow UF design program alum who made a record a couple years back under the moniker Ferocious Beast. From Cardboard Keyboard, here’s my favorite track — ‘Pine Needle Beard.’

I caught this gem for the first time during this weekend’s 2010 Winter Olympics coverage. It is remarkable how these 60 seconds can be more compelling than any sporting event I’ve seen at the Vancouver games so far. Music by The Hours.

MOMA is an italian shoemaker and a company that seems to merge art + commerce rather nicely. This short film follows the assembly of one pair, from start to finish. After a few dozen steps, the lofty asking price seems pretty damn fair.

Each product is worked by hand, moulding the matter with an original twist.

There are certain holidays that I can really get behind. We have MLK Day in January. And then today, which is World Nutella Day — or Christmas for all those english muffins, crepes and bananas out there. Go ahead and treat yourself, people.

Six live bonus tracks is a pretty convincing argument for choosing the deluxe version. And this Wilco cover—recorded at The Living Room in NYC—just puts it over the top.

Oh, Snap! is an art/fashion project that gathers interesting photographs (from both amateur & professional imagemakers), then features one front and center on each t-shirt. This one, by Austin artist William Hundley, is my pick.
