SF Ferry Building's Thursday Night Market
(29 June 2005) - San Francisco's Ferry Building Marketplace is a compendium of gourmet food vendors, restaurants, and retail naturally evolved from the longstanding farmer's market that was held in the Embarcadero locale. If you find yourself downtown, the soaring ceilings leftover from the building's past as a terminal for transbay ferries make for a great destination to shop European-style or to lunch on some of California's finest...

Technology+Spa+Wellness=eq life
(24 June 2005) - eq life is a new retail concept that marries "health, wellness and technology in harmony." It looks pretty interesting to us. A former exec at Best Buy came up with the idea when a friend became ill and he felt there was an opportunity (and a need) to provide spa/salon services, beauty and wellness products and related technology products in one place. We'll check...

In the Know
(23 June 2005) - “I hate shopping” are the famous last words for Cool Hunting’s Ranjani Gopalarathinam, who finally understands that shopping is a talent, and not merely a consumerist distraction from "more important things in life". Her fabulous new book, "New York’s 50+ Best Little Shops" (Rizzoli/Universe, 2005), maps the city out as a macrocosm of style and imagination, staying pretty clear of chains and corporate clones...

The Other Pods...
(08 June 2005) - Almost as easy to take along as the small digital 'pods, these stylish Pod Caravans are incredibly functional for their size. Four people can sit comfortably for a meal around the table which disappears when the seating converts into a queen size bed. Plenty of storage is cleverly created under the kitchenette.

(MALIN+GOETZ) Travel Kit
(03 June 2005) - I've been a fan of (MALIN+GOETZ) since they launched a year and a half ago; their body cleanser was a no brainer replacement for the Kiehl's I had grown tired of. Their soaps and moisturizers synthesize natural botanical ingredients with an advanced performance technology. And the packaging, designed by 2x4, is a great modern-minimal interpretation of old fashioned chemist labels. Just in time for...

Flight 001 Spacepak

I flew to LA yesterday and used the Clothes Pak and the...

For the Love of Beans

Chichu Art Museum
