Goodness what were men clothing designers thinking? I pity the poor gentleman that donned one of these impartical and almost torturous looking garment. The copy on this ad is unbelievable-I wonder if today's advertisers could 'get away' with a description like this ? I sure hope not.

Scale is a simple concept. From a very early age, children know about big and small, heavy and light, more and less. Extreme scales, however, are another story. Some fantastic video and infographics on scale

It is always fascinating to see the way advertising and product design has evolved over the years. Like so many other design aesthetics, cereal boxes have gotten smoother, more “3-d” and more, well, ecstatic across the board — characters who used to smile contentedly now invariably have their mouths wide open in wild excitement at the sugary flakes they are about to consume. The colors have become garishly bright (though in some cases, we admit, more appealing), and everything is just so much shinier. Perhaps to hide the less then nutritious contents!

Infantilism may be a fashion perennial, but if the blogger Ari Seth Cohen had his druthers, every season would be a senior moment. As the founder and editor of Advanced Style chronicles the stylish and often eccentric get-ups of a crowd that’s largely ignored by the fashion system. “My eyes have always been drawn to older people,” said Cohen, 28. “And from a style point of view, I find them more interesting because they are of an age where they don’t have to impress anyone and can wear what they want.”

Love is most often associated with the color red. Be that by conditioning of incessant advertising or that we are drawn to it by nature. Red is one of those colors that possesses the strongest Ying and Yang of its theoretical definitions. Between love and hate, rebirth and death, the human relationship in any combination, could literally be summed up in the meaning of the color Red. This painting Falling in Love is by DJEMBE

Empowering students is not the same as abdicating control of your classroom. The ASCD’s journal Educational Leadership defines student empowerment as “student ownership of learning.” That is a good way to look at it – helping students take control of their own education. But how do you do that?

So back in 1969, what did we think the Internet would be like? In case you've ever wondered, this video reveals how we imagined the Internet in 1969.

L.A. Painter DJEMBE-CANVAS explains his name... DJEMBE represents rhythm, music enhances my color harmonics. CANVAS embodies expression, energies of colors elevate my spirit. As DJEMBE & CANVAS, my paintings are about reaching balance through these two elements. I'm an intuitive painter solely because I'm a music lover. I improvise my color approach through how rhythm moves me. I freehand spiritual paintings with positive, constructive means. Each piece is painted in layers, bringing about 3-Dimensional depth to the colors you see. Sigh...I am in love...

And therein lies a story of how new Internet tools are allowing very ordinary people to defeat some of the most powerful corporate and political interests around— by threatening the titans with the online equivalent of a tarring and feathering.
