Cool Hunting
Apologies to any Aussies or Kiwis reading, but until now, I've been in the dark about how good your coffee can be. Specifically, the antipodean take on a latte called a flat white, which I had this morning at the cafe of the same name that's recently opened in London's Soho.
Coffee Geeks have already been praising the place, saying it could serve the best coffee in the city. Personally, I'd give that award to the Monmouth Coffee Company, but the fact that Flat White buys its beans from them means it's a very close second. At £2 for the signature drink, it is on the expensive side of things. I'm not going to argue over a few pennies though when you get a well-made hot cup, with just the right balance of sweetness and bitterness that stays frothy to the bottom. Nice silver fern on top too.
The café itself is a little less busy and therefore a little more relaxed than the handful of Monmouth outlets. With music from the likes of New Zealand seven-piece Fat Freddy's Drop on rotation and ANZAC biscuits to snack on as well, Flat White's laid back vibe feels authentically Kiwi. That's no mean feat on a grey London tuesday with Berwick Street market right outside the door.

The year was 1979. Cable television had just broken the big three television networks' stranglehold in America when Jaime Davidovich began appearing on boob tubes across New York City. Appearing every week on "The Live! Show," Davidovich developed the character Dr. Videovich, a satirical television psychologist who claimed to treat TV addiction. The show featured fake advertisements for Videovich's treatments and products as well...
I feel deeply for the body language in Natasha Law's ladies. Body and movement have always been an interesting subject matter to me. Body language can speak such an intimate, potent language. Using gestures of form, a person can share what lies underneath their exterior and in one small movement you have the power to make someone feel at ease or a tiny twitch...
Sharing a love for '80s grids and layouts as well as a penchant for cool toys and gadgets, I tracked down Ben Wise, one of the guys behind the site Antenna Trade Digest. Proclaiming to catalog all “publicly available goods of significant substance,” I asked him about the project. How did the idea for Antenna come about? My inspiration for the site was finding...
