When Nathaniel Fink caught Jack on the Southwest Corridor a few weeks ago, it came up in conversation that I bike as well. Nathaniel and I have been trying to find a warm, sunny day to meet up ever since, to counter his streak of wintry bike photos at Cycle Style Boston. It was warmer, […]

When my cousin posted this video of tape artist Sarah DiNardo on facebook, she mentioned that she initially thought the works must be tiny carvings – and based on the preview image, I had to agree. But DiNardo works in masking tape, meticulously rolling the tape onto itself to form a mesmerizing array of shapes […]
Arguably, I could have included all of my photos from Pittsburgh’s Mattress Factory in yesterday’s recap, but I think these deserved a space all their own. We started our tour of the museum at the basement level, and I was immediately drawn to the variety of textures and wall surfaces present before we even got to […]
Jack and I are moving a little slower than usual today after a whirlwind tour and a full schedule of wedding activities – but good times were had by all. Elizabeth, a Pittsburgh native, requested a full recap, and who am I to object? Here’s an overview, in pictures. Happy Monday!
Jack and I are off to do a bit of museum hopping around Pittsburgh before wedding festivities begin this evening: first stop, the Mattress Factory. We hope you’ll pardon the radio silence as we spend the rest of the weekend celebrating/recovering with friends! If you’re curious what we’re up to, you can find both of […]
We’ve been noticing hexagons cropping up all over the place – web design, logos, fashion, wallpaper, furniture, jewelry, fixtures – and we’re not entirely opposed. There’s something exciting about the hex shape, but its symmetry is comforting. (No? Is that just me?) Anywho, here are some of our favorite uses of the hexagon at the moment. […]
As tens of thousands of runners look toward Marathon Monday in Boston (April 15), I find myself a little wistful – grateful for the winter spent skiing instead of training, but envious of all of the excitement. Are you running Boston this year? Help me live vicariously! Share photos of your bib or medal with us, and […]
It’s Tuesday, or something. Things are a bit distracted in the UJC household today, and stringing together full sentences to write about Stephanie Milewski’s fantastic human hearts on hand-stitched teabag canvas , or this updated TED list of 100 Websites You Should Know and Use, or the Boston via Hopkinton marathon poster giveaway we’re plotting […]
There’s a new truck in town. Area Four was perhaps the only company not April-fooling when it rolled its new food truck up to Dewey Square this morning. I work across the street, and the truck caught my eye first for its LeWitt stripes, and then for its excellent “A4” logo (below). I didn’t get […]
On Thursday, Jack and I headed out to Indochino’s pop-up shop on Clarendon Street, and caught up again with Smita, and Jeff Lahens of DressCode Boston. Vancouver-based Indochino is similar in concept to Boston’s 9Tailors, offering customizable, made-to-measure suiting at affordable prices. Until recently, Indochino operated online, requiring clients to submit their own measurements; now, […]
