The Jakes didn't set out to democratise the world of graphic design; they just wanted to make cool T-shirts. In 2000, Jake Nickell and Jacob DeHart, as they're more formally known, were college dropouts living in Chicago, though neither had found much work putting his abbreviated educations to use. Both were avid members of a burgeoning subculture that treated the lowly T-shirt as a canvas for visual flights of fancy. So when they met after entering an online T-shirt design competition, they already had a lot in common. For starters, both thought it would be a good idea to start their own design competition. ...

(((I know that accounting is the dullest profession in the world, but I'm wondering how many American companies, when assessed under these standards, are gonna pull an Enron. In other words, how many American corporations are just American accounting games? How many will turn out to have no assets?))) http://www.economist.com/daily/news/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12010009 Link: Accounting standards | Closing the GAAP | Economist.com . SCORE a point for globalisation. In a landmark vote on Wednesday August 27th America’s financial-markets watchdog, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), paved the way for its companies to switch from America’s Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to international accounting standards. In a field that is, by reputation, notoriously dull, this looks like something to get genuinely excited about. GAAP was the beancounter’s gold standard for decades, but it is now widely seen as cumbersome. Most other countries have embraced the international rules, known as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The regulators’ plan envisages American-based Multinationals switching to the standards voluntarily in 2010. The SEC would then vote on whether to require all other companies to do the same, starting in 2014. The commission has already cleared the way for overseas firms to use IFRS when doing business or listing securities in America. Christopher Cox, the SEC’s chairman, hailed th ...

everyday and exotic | varnelis.net The difference between China and the West is now inverted. Unpaid interns designing horrible towers in a few days only to have them built by unskilled laborers? Falling cranes? That’s New York City or Los Angeles. China has become architecture’s penultimate refuge (the last one being the mirage cities of the Emirates), where OMA pursues work not possible in the West. After years of phony economics, the dollar is evacuated, made worthless by a generation eager to cash out for their retirement. As a result, infrastructure is perpetually underfunded, and falls behind (and apart) more and more. Nor is this condition limited to the United States. Countries across the West are in a perpetual state of infrastructural collapse.
