Don't be a snake, use your brake!

100 cassette covers — oh geez, I loved those. There are still several of those BASFs in my parents’ flat; my English-learning father used them for recording BBC programmes and some late 70s Italo Disco. To me, eight years old at the time, they seemed to be the essence of modern design; things seem to have changed since then, but still I cannot help liking the general style.

Don’t be a snake, use your brake! Hold your horses! Be fair, don’t be a hare! Less is more indeed! Slow down in our town! Drop the power, go 50 miles per hour! — Renders speechless.

In other visuals — These are some very nice posters from the Designs on the White House T-shirt project, a competition for hip Kerry shirts started by people who noticed (as explained in the about section) that existing shirts were “pretty vanilla”.

And, oh, oh, 40 minutes of Jason Kottke’s voice!
