Foodmakers including Haagen-Dazs is scared by the fact that bee colonies in United States are disappearing. Bees are the polinators of one-third of the U.S. food supply. (fruits, vegetables and nuts) Haagen-Dazs said bees are making 40% of its 60 flavors. "...The company is donating $250,000 to both Pennsylvania State University and the University of California, Davis to fund research into the bee colony collapse disorder (CCD)." Also, Haagen-Dazs is launching a new flavor "Vanilla Honey Bee" so that consumer can pay more attention about the bee problem.

Type Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry

About "Type Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry" by Jessica Helfand

Many students have used Futura for books (and any typographic exercises) with diverse contents. (cook books, commercail books, how-to books, and so on) For a question "Why? Why did you use Futura?", people answered: "I liked how modern it was.", "I just kind of liked it." If you use a type face for designing something, you need to have reasonable explains behind it.

Stan




Stan was walking his dog "Nutter Butter" in the Morningside park. He repares televisions. He is an electronic engineer. Stan lives a couple blocks away from the park. His dog, Nutter Butter is a six-year-old male pomeranian. I asked Stan if it is a real name, then he showed me Nutter Butter's name pendant. He did not let me take his picture because he does not want his picture in a magazine or a news paper.
