The Year in Buzzwords


From Spoon & Tamago's "best of" compilation - The New York Times has a great list of the biggest buzzwords of 2008. It mainly reminds me of how obnoxious this year was, but the typography is really nice and it sums up 08 pretty well.

No more tldr


Instapaper is a great web/mobile app that allows you to quickly save webpages to read later. I've been using Instapaper Pro for the past week or so and it's really changed my reading habits online.  I first read about it on Adam Lisagor's page, he was most excited about the tilt-scrolling feature, which uses the accelerometer in a really innovative way, but the app's presentation of text feels overall very solid and straightforward. Google Reader has a really nice mobile web app but Instapaper has the benefit of faster and easier offline reading. Instead of starring a post and forgetting about it, I can leave my bookmarks easily accessible, offline or not.

It's definitely worth a try

Advanced Style


Ari, my coworker at the New Museum, runs a really amazing site covering fashion for the older set. I'm normally not all that interested in street style sort of blogs, but it really does a good job celebrating style in an age group that doesn't get much attention in the fashion world. 

The people are well dressed but far beyond trends and fads, know what works for them and wear it with confidence. I'm a fan.
