I love this pottery from the Steven Allen home shop. I feel like I should be able to find the pieces on his web site but no. In a way thats kind of fitting because the cups, spoons, bowls all seem a bit misfitty, like they we’re meant for real purpose and to do real work but got lost on the way.

A couple of weeks back there was a great nytimes article about dognition a site which uses crowd sourced data from dog owners to gather insight into the tremendous variety of breeds. The site is fun and well designed. It’s interesting how much more engaging it is compared to similar kinds of data sites about humans. 

The blog features a nice intro by the founder that explains the foundation of crowd sourcing data.
