I’m pleased to be donating a Cable Table to a charity auction organized by Massachusetts General Hospital and the Organization of Minority Residents and Fellows.

ONE Condoms are adding a new product to the brand with some sweet packaging mods. The tin (which we are pretty proud of, BTW) maintains it’s awesomeness. Pic below the fold.

I recently attended a dinner party hosted by a friend who was house-sitting. The home-owners happened to own a copy of Bhutan, the largest book in the world. It is, of course, absolutely gorgeous (as it should be, for $30,000). I took some snaps.

A product line (which I co-designed) is so new that it isn’t even Google-able, but it still managed to get itself named a Finalist for the International Housewares Design Awards. Sneak peak below the fold.

I recently had the opportunity to tour the soon-to-open Design Annex co-working environment in Union Sq, Somerville. It’s a really exciting space focused on helping creatives build a strong community and leverage each other’s skills.

Congratulations to the team over at ONE: they’ve secured a really great position with Target! Starting next March, ONE Condoms will be available from the retailer nation-wide, and sold, of course, in the packaging designed here at Nerve Action.

To celebrate, I put a sneak peak of ONE’s newest Nerve Action-designed product below the fold.

Clearly, robots evolve. Cylons, for example, first got badder ass and then grew skin. But please, art directors and engineers, you need to stop fetishizing white robots with black mechanical guts.

It’s getting a little played out, dudes.

 
The Mass Innovation Night presentation went great, as I mentioned previously. While I was there, PermissionTV walked around to each booth, asking us to yell into the camera. Never one to reject internet publicity, of course I acquiesced.

It’s up now, although sadly without embedding. However, check it out.

Last night’s Mass Innovation Night was an interesting experiment, and quite successful. Chris Raia and I used the event as an opportunity to test out a new project, the Urban Animal Design Collaborative, and we got a lot of great feedback.

Gonna be at the Mass Innovation Night trade-show-slash-science-fair again this month. BUT: this time from the other side of the business-card-fumbling. We’re there as part of the Urban Animal Design Collaborative, a new-ish venture that allows independent creatives to market their skills in concert, thereby offering a more complete package of services than any individual member could on their own.
