I was with Jstn last night and was shocked and awed to find that he did not know that Kanye West maintains one of the best blogs on the interwebs. It’s like a field guide to everything flavor: architecture, art, fashion, design, music, gadgets, all curated by someone super interested in them and (seemingly) with time on his hands, though one would suspect that Ye may be the busiest musician...

(via anomaly) This series is quickly becoming my favorite.
a thought.
I was talking to my dad recently—who has now been a surgeon for 25 years—about how he has done the same thing for so long without interruption. And I got the same answer that I have gotten from many, which is that it doesn’t bother him that his job is not great every day, or even every month. Long hours are spent over dictations, dealing with HMOs, or listening to overzealous...
“Anne Sexton killed herself because it is too painful to live in this world...”
– Erica Jong, the New York Times. Discovered by my friend Emily, who is actually not at all morbid, just sharp enough to realize that this is a really, really beautiful way of putting it. It being the way life can feel sometimes. Also, not sure when my tumblr got so Angela Chase depress-athon;...

so clearly, i am obsessed with photography lately and have been posting a lot of it. this has a point, which hopefully i can reveal pretty soon. but until then, i’ll just keep tacking up my favorite images from the vault. the exciting part about becoming obsessed with something is that you start becoming pickier about it—i like the feeling that develops of knowing what does and...
Agreed.
zachklein: I’m looking for an extraordinary place in NYC to hang out with a friend and brainstorm. Any ideas? I hope Fred Wilson has a recommendation. ericlodwick:I want to build a situation room. What I’d really like to have is a clubhouse, but not one with a “no boyz allowed” sign or anything like that. Instead, it would just be a self-selective, charming sort of place...

I have been thinking a lot about “the West” lately. I guess it’s in my blood—I spent 20 years on the other side of the Mississippi, and no matter how native I feel to New York most days, there’s no denying that my DNA is essentially made of big skies and chalk and pink mountains. I guess this all started a few weeks ago when I was listening to a song called...

WatchOMG I can’t take it. ADORABLE OVERLOAD - CollegeHumor video— jendunlap Some of my friends were so obsessed with this video last year that they could do the whole routine from memory. What happens at 0:45 is almost too cute to be real.
