Arlene Gottfried: Sometimes Overwhelming
(04 March 2008) - These days, there's no shortage of people glorifying the rougher New York City of yesteryear.

The Condiment Packet Museum
(14 September 2006) - As a design object, to-go condiment packaging's fussy "tear-here" notches and single-use wastefulness leave a lot to be desired—not to mention our general dislike of condiments themselves. But we do have a soft spot for the cheap pleasure of looking at obsessively-compiled and well-presented inventories of compact consumer goods, like the Condiment Packet Museum. Categorized by condiment and including over 900 different specimens, the...
