John Maeda: Creative Code
by Josh Rubin
John Maeda's newest book will hit the shelves next month. Creative Code is a documentation of his pedagogical experiments at the MIT Media Lab. Maeda's thoughts on the book:
My evolved focus is on the global economy, and how creativity might reshape our society. I hope that a world that endears the arts just as much as it endears its weapons of destruction might be able to enjoy this century to the fullest. We can either just watch what happens, or commit to shaping the events that will come. I choose the latter along with many colleagues all around the world.
The foreword is by one of my mentors, Red Burns, founder of the Interactive Telecommunication Program at NYU. Contributors include Yugo Nakamura, Martin Wattenberg, David Small, Casey Reas, Ben Fry, Scott Snibbe, Elise Co, John Simon, Jr., Gillian Crampton-Smith, Reed Kram, Joshua Davis, Peter Cho, Golan Levin, Danny Rozin. This collection of creative brain power should help yield Maeda's best book yet.

Jor One
by Josh Rubin
Jor One is a graffiti artist who loves to paint gear, especially kicks. Check out his site, but don't ask him if he has anything for sale-- he hates that. He may be dropping customs in a shop or two, so let the hunt begin.
