Fresh links on the roll

Latest editions to the linkroll at right follow. I’m going to try to do this once a month.

First: My Etsy store. Filed under Solipsism in the sidebar.

Next up are three additions to the Bigshot category:

* Joseph Nocera’s blog on the NYT site: Executive Suite. Mr. Nocera is someone I really admire.
* James Surowiecki’s blog on the New Yorker site: The Balance Sheet. I’m surprised at how long it’s taken for this to happen. Mr. Suroweicki was writing online for Motley Fool before any of you had ever heard the word “blog.” That’s because the word hadn’t been coined yet.
* Steven Heller’s blog on the Print Magazine site, The Daily Heller: You already know all about Steve Heller. Nice guy, interesting blog.

And there’s more. Under Hard To Categorize:
Book Of Joe. I thought this was already in the linkroll, but it wasn’t. Check it out.

Under Critiques:
Public Ad Campaign.

Under Artists:
Michael A. Salter, maker of styrobots.
Ernie Button, particularly the Cerealism series.
Steve Schofield.
Little People, “A Tiny Street Art Project.”

And finally, in the the Design/Style/Aesthetics category:
The DieLIne.com
DC Goodwill Fashionista. More about this later.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

I will be so glad when this election is over and Heller’s messiah is elected and then Steven can get back to writing about the history of design.

There’s a CNNBC video that’s totally murketing for Obama. It takes the premise that one person (you supply the name of a friend) has caused the election to be won by McCain.

It’s just drop-dead funny and smart.

Here’s the link I got: http://www.cnnbcvideo.com/index.html?nid=cxVzfQJrJTtB6MNLRtITizM0MTk4NzU-&referred_by=11082027-33Q0._x

Okay, yet another unusually creative Obama ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq8Uc5BFogE

This one takes the Budweiser “waaaassup” guys and makes it into a really subtle campaign promo.

These guys are knocking it out of the park with internet video lately.
