<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Aloha!</p>
<p>Ontem no Twitter rolou o link para de um teste para saber se você conhece a Helvetica e seu clore, Arial, e como identificar suas sutis e poucas, mas brutais, diferenças.</p>
<p>O cara pegou 20 logotipos feitos originalmente em Helvetica e os refez em Arial. O seu desafio é descobrir qual é o original (em Helvetica).</p>
<p>Como a parada foi um sucesso, resolvi publicar aqui no LogoBR para fazermos um comparativo e ver qual logotipo foi o mais difícil de identificar e o mais fácil. Depois quem sabe não fazemos um artigo para comentar um a um. Seria show.</p>
<p>O desafio é o seguinte: corre lá, faz o teste e depois vem aqui dizer seu resultado e, se errou quais foram. Eu gabaritei (#TypeManiaco) <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ironicsans.com/helvarialquiz/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1188" title="teste" src="http://logobr.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/teste.png?w=300" alt="teste" width="300" height="238" /></a>Créditos da imagem: <a href="http://www.swiss-miss.com">SwissMiss</a></p>
<p>============================================</p>
<p>Agora que você já fez o teste pode ver o quanto seus olhos são apurados. Como o LogoBR tem a vocação pra paizão, vai abaixo um super útil e direto resumo sobre as poucas, mas brutais, diferenças em alguns caracteres das duas fontes. Pra mim, essas pouquíssimas diferenças é o que fazem da cópia horrível (principalmente o R) <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Isso foi feito e publicado <a href="http://ragbag.tumblr.com/post/187708731/arial-helvetica-on-friday-i-hosted-a-screening">por esse cara</a> e replicado no excelente <a href="http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/09/arial-versus-helvetica.html">SwissMiss</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Dentro de los vídeos de <a title="http://www.ted.com/" href="http://www.ted.com/" target="_blank">tedtalks</a> (a los que verdaderamente estoy &#8220;enganchado&#8221;) hay una categoría bajo la etiqueta de &#8220;inspiring&#8221; que tiene bien merecida la etiqueta. Esta vez es <a title="http://www.danpink.com/" href="http://www.danpink.com/" target="_blank">Daniel Pink</a> quien enfrenta las verdades de la ciencia con las prácticas habituales del mercado y la empresa. El objetivo, convencernos de que para determinados trabajos, principalmente aquellos que buscan una solución innovadora o ingeniosa, el dinero no asegura un resultado mejor. La intuición te lo había dicho, pero es que la ciencia lo demuestra. Y si bien parece que el mundo de la empresa se resiste a reconocerlo, empieza a haber indicios de que algo está cambiando. La todopoderosa Google adoptó un modelo de trabajo por el que permite a sus trabajadores dedicar hasta un veinte por ciento de su tiempo en iniciativas propias. Y funciona. La conclusión es que es necesario replantearse el modelo de empresa, sobretodo allí donde se buscan nuevas vías, espacios, ideas&#8230; En todas esas disciplinas es ahora, si cabe, más necesario, pensar fuera de la caja.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The smell of fresh ink, the sound of the presses. It&#8217;s good, isn&#8217;t it? If a pressroom makes you swoon, meet Brazilian printers, Grafica Fildalga.</p>
<p><span>Grafica Fildalga, in São Paulo, makes posters on a 1929 German letterpress using hand-carved wooden letters. This video documents the three friends who make up Grafica Fildalga as they create the a poster commissioned by  <a href="http://coolhunting.com">Coolhunting.com</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/kI5RekPMh_c&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/kI5RekPMh_c&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Called &#8220;lambe lambe,&#8221; the lightweight paper used for the posters was designed for wheat-pasting and, before São Paulo&#8217;s &#8220;clean city&#8221; initiative, could be found throughout the city. Thanks to the gallery Choque Cultural, who regularly makes posters for their shows with Grafica Fildalga, they&#8217;ve been able to stay alive but they could still use more help. Go ahead, hire them. Email the gallery&#8217;s director Edu (esaretta [at] gmail [dot] com).</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://swiss-miss.com">Swiss Miss</a> for the introduction and the link. Now I believe I will open a bottle of wine and watch the video again. I can almost smell the ink.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m going to tap into my crazy cat lady for a minute.  I&#8217;m in love with <a href="http://www.modkat.com/" target="_blank">ModKat</a>.  I&#8217;ve been looking for something like this for ages, and I&#8217;m glad that I&#8217;ve finally found it.  A top entrance litter box &#8211; to reduce the amount of liter being tracked through the house; A reusable, washable, eco-friendly liner (this is BIG); A design that doesn&#8217;t scream &#8220;I&#8217;m a litterbox!&#8221; (or like my current box, &#8220;I&#8217;m this oddly shaped mini alien spacecraft you just can&#8217;t help but notice and are mildly disturbed by!&#8221;) </p>
<p>Yes, I just got excited about a litterbox &#8211; don&#8217;t judge!  Ok, fine, judge.  Now to just wait impatiently for late Summer &#8216; 09 for it to be released into the world.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.platform21.nl/page/133/en" target="_blank">Plataforma21</a> é formada por um grupo de holandeses curiosos e preocupados com o futuro. Eles usam uma velha capela em Amsterdan como laboratório de design. Cheios de idéias originais, esse povo lançou o excelente “<strong>Manifesto do conserto</strong>”. Dá uma olhada.</p>
<p><strong>1.    Faça seus produtos durarem mais!</strong><br />
Consertar significa ter a oportunidade de dar a seu produto uma segunda vida. Não descarte, costure! Não jogue fora, emende! Consertar não é ser anti-consumismo. É evitar que coisas sejam descartadas sem necessidade.</p>
<p><strong>2.    Pense em projetar coisas que possam ser consertadas.</strong><br />
Designers de produtos: façam seus produtos consertáveis. Compartilhem informações claras e inteligíveis sobre maneiras de reparar o seu produto. Consumidores: comprem objetos que possam ser consertados ou então reflitam porque eles não existem. Sejam críticos e inquisitivos.</p>
<p><strong>3.    Consertar não é substituir.</strong><br />
Substituir é jogar fora a parte quebrada. Esse não é o tipo de reparo que estamos falando aqui.</p>
<p><strong>4.    Fazer o produto mais robusto não vai matar você.</strong><br />
Cada vez que consertamos alguma coisa, nós acrescentamos a ela potencial, história, alma e beleza.</p>
<p><strong>5.    Consertar é um desafio criativo.</strong><br />
Fazer consertos é bom para a imaginação. Usando novas técnicas, ferramentas e materiais proporcionamos um destino melhor do que o simples fim.</p>
<p><strong>6.    Conserto sobrevive à moda.</strong><br />
Consertar não é sobre estilos e tendências. Não existe data de validade para produtos consertáveis.</p>
<p><strong>7.    Consertar é descobrir.</strong><br />
Consertar objetos pode fazer você aprender coisas incríveis sobre como eles realmente funcionam. Ou não funcionam.</p>
<p><strong>8.    Consertar – mesmo em tempos de fartura!</strong><br />
Se você pensa que esse manifesto é por causa da recessão, esqueça. Isso não é sobre dinheiro, é sobre mentalidade.</p>
<p><strong>9.    Coisas consertadas são únicas.</strong><br />
Mesmo se parecerem originais depois de reparadas.</p>
<p><strong>10.    Consertar é ser independente.</strong><br />
Não seja escravo da tecnologia – seja seu mestre. Se quebrou, conserte e faça melhor. Se você não é mestre, valorize quem o é.</p>
<p><strong>11.    Você pode  consertar tudo, mesmo uma sacola plástica.</strong><br />
Mas nós recomendamos sacolas que durem mais e que sejam reparadas quando for necessário.</p>
