This is the second part in a series of beautiful videos on coffee making at Intelligentsia in Venice, California. Video by the Dept. of the Fourth Dimension.

The way everything is kept black & white except for the coffee is incredibly charming.

Thanks to Dan Cederholm for highlighting the first video in this series over at SimpleBits.

Two Thousand Ten

Posted: December 22nd, 2009 | Author: craig | Filed under: Misc., Musings | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

Aina is the Hawaiian word for land and for me 2010 is a year of reconnecting to the earth. In 2009, we experienced a year filled with financial problems, political tensions and fear in the media… As a forest sometimes burns, new life regrows in its place. While we may have had a year of burning I feel like the soil we have to grow out of is fertile and full of growth.

-Mark Boulton

At least I think Mark Boulton wrote that on Colourlovers. I can’t seem to find it  now, but I scribbled it on some paper and I like it more and more each day. I believe the quote was in reference to the color he chose as the color of 2010. Apparently, Pantone decided it’s turquoise.
