Google Auto-complete: Squarespace

Apparently "Squarespace" is one of the top 10 auto-complete words suggested on Google if you type in the quite common word "square".  Odd statement about the popularity of all things square.

New York City Building Collapse

This woke me up -- as I literally felt my building move.

I live on the corner of Church and Chambers in Tribeca, and this building (apparently abandoned), just fell down into Reade St. 5 helicopters and 10 fire engines later, I decided to head down and see if I was going to need to evacuate. Apparently, my building is fine.

These shots are completely original. I was the only person on the roof at the time (my building), and they shut off access soon afterwards.  There was an empty parking lot next to the building that fell down, which is why you can see the side.

She was like a character out of a Tom Wolfe novel—her life had made her crazy—and that just seemed to sum up so exactly something about this city.

Goodbye Google (Stopdesign) »

Google's head desginer departs.  I love Google -- but can anyone think of another large company so completely lacking in any sort of style?  They might as well just turn stylesheets completely off and call it a day.

Design requires vision and leadership -- to design through tasteless testing alone truly produces some awful results.
