Tim and Court get new toys, don't do any work on Thursday.

Tim and Court are the latest at 2F to get new toys. Tim got the new iPhone and Court got a Canon 5D Mark II that she’s been apparently wanting really, really bad!

Tim’s Blackberry had suffered so much abuse that he could barely even hear out of it anymore, so I know he’s extremely happy to just have a phone that is functional. It’s just too bad that I couldn’t successfully lobby him to get one of the new Android phones. I <3 my Evo.

Here’s a picture of Tim in his pink office.

New places to sleep in the city that never sleeps…

We’re always pulled to stories of smaller is often better, being different and passionate can be “the” product, and of course, reading about buildings being used in a way that not only serves a purpose, but brings them to life.  The NY Times recently ran an article on the growth of boutique hotels that touched on all of these topics. From an online perspective, and a reason why paper doesn’t live up to web in the richness of information,  the NY Times does  “functional” web graphics well. In this case, an interactive map that supports the article and allows users to explore hotel locations, photos and profiles right there within the article. The addition of the interactive map extends the usefulness of the article, and is sure to get visitors to come back for more.  The map, (like the hotels) is elegant, functional, and creates an experience that people will want to (and can) share with others.
