Letterfu: Letter-writing without envelopes, cutting or glue

“I started letter-folding a few months ago, while letter-folding had caught the imagination of the members of the social bookmarking site del.icio.us. A popular link was to the large repository of folding letter designs at ghh.com. It was from this website that I learnt the florentine fold and instantly fell in love with it, and it is the florentine fold that the designs on this website are based on.”

It’s “weblog” not “web log”

“Dear New Yorker, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post and others, Please stop using the term ‘web log’ to refer to a chronologically-ordered frequently-updated website. The correct term is ‘weblog’. Furthermore, ‘blog’ is not short for ‘web log’, it is short for ‘weblog’.”

Fashion in Colors

“Fashion in Colors explores color as a design element through 300 years of western fashion. Costumes are grouped by color in a dramatic installation in Cooper-Hewitt’s galleries, allowing previously unseen details and structures of the clothes to emerge for the viewer and showing how similar elements and trends appear in dresses separated by hundreds of years.”
