Valentine’s Day Holiday Showcase

Noah Landow — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 02:49:50 +0000

If you are in or passing through New York this week, join me, my compatriots at the Dangerous Mathematicians, and some sweet lovelies for an evening of wine, snacks, dressing up, and jewelry this Wednesday February 13th, 2008 at 176 Rivington Street from 8PM. (Karen exhorts you to dress “Smart and sexy.” Good advice any day.) If you haven’t seen my work in person yet, this is a rare opportunity to see the full range of all collections. Plus I will have an assortment of new pieces and classics available. Join me.

Berlin Photos

Noah Landow — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:37:39 +0000

Took me a month, but I have finally posted the photos from New Years in Berlin. (One nice upside to fighting this sickness that’s going around and staying home yesterday.) A few of my favorite shots: Warmth, Cranes, and The Aftermath.

Dee Dee’s Album

Did a shoot of D for her album and set up placeholder on her new web site this weekend. Recording it next weekend.

See my jewelry work in person

Noah Landow — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 14:20:51 +0000

This Thursday December 6th from 6PM to 10PM I will have a table spread with my jewelry and silver work at Dangerous Mathematicians (176 Rivington Street (between Clinton and Attorney) on the lower east side of Manhattan (just a few blocks from the Delancy stop on the F train). I have a few prototypes, one-offs, sketch pieces, as well as a few series that never made it up on the website, so even if you think you’ve seen them all, come on by and see. Karen, the illustrious proprietor, will also have wine and snacks, so if my work isn’t enough to get you there, think of it as a free glass of wine.

NYC & The New Taxi Logo

Noah Landow — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 02:03:06 +0000

You may have noticed that NYC Taxis started sporting a new logo on the door when all the other gizmos started going in (The credit card reader, the inane TV, and the in my experience so far largely non-functional GPS, etc). I find it remarkably bad, awkward, and over- (even possibly at the same time under-) designed. Turns out the NY Times has an article on the design process and imagine my surprise when I come across the detail that the “NYC” part (Top left) of the logo was designed by Wolff Olins — Former client, designers of some excellent work over the years, but, tragically, designers of the disastrous London Olympics Logo. Oomph.

AT&T OGO, Redux

Noah Landow — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 05:34:03 +0000

Last time I wrote about the AT&T OGO it became my most commented post by miles. But, thanks to some news from Mr. Darkfall, there is a new “OGO 2″ on it’s way that will be multi-carrier (not just AT&T) and have some interesting quirks (Some kind of hinge clip thing that can be a separate phone, camera, or. . . bottle opener. . .Er? Just go read the article.).

In the few years since that original post, a lot had happened out there: AT&T spun off AT&T Wireless, AT&T Wireless was bought by Cingular, Cingular’s parent SBC was bought by AT&T, and now, in a “who would have guessed” move, AT&T wireless is once again “AT&T.” (Though I have heard rumors that the mobile group in AT&T may be rebranded for the umpteenth time, this time as “AT&T Mobility.” But that name is so bad I am going to work under the assumption it’s a bogus rumor.)

Also, in the interim, I went from a voice-only handset to a BlackBerry (7130c, soon to be a 8100), the iPhone arrived, and Nokia released it’s blitz of Series 60 (Or is it 80?) phones such as the N95. All in all, a lot of activity and mobile email, IM, and web surfing have most certainly hit mainstream in a big way. Who knows what the next three years have to bring…

Where I put stuff

Noah Landow — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 14:15:56 +0000

For all one or two of you who visit here on a semi-regular basis, I should point out that the vast majority of activity happens over on the Recent Links page. That’s an unedited feed of my recent bookmarks on Del.icio.us. Rather than post a slew of mini-articles here that are essentially just a link to a site suggested by a blog, friend, poster, search, or happenchance, I tuck those snippets in my bookmarks and leave the main page here to more chunky topics.

Wedding

Noah Landow — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:16:17 +0000

Anna & Oscar’s Wedding in some form or another has occupied much of my mind over the last two weeks and the big day was this past weekend. I posted some miscellaneous photographs on Flickr and also made the wedding rings though in all the excitement I neglected to put my two projects together and take photographs of the rings. Some classic wedding images of the bride’s train, the couple in a classic formal pose, the always messy eating (him) cake (her), and of course the bride & groom’s first dance.

Cat Sitters

Noah Landow — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:36:30 +0000

Some friends in Brooklyn are going away from Sept 20 to Oct 7 and are looking for cat sitters. They have a delightful apartment with a private backyard, grill. Let me know if you’d like an introduction.

Antibacterial Soap

Noah Landow — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 23:50:47 +0000

I have expressed my opposition to antibacterial soap becoming a commonplace household item for years now, but it is nice to see an article and study backing up my assertion that it not only helps create much scary antimicrobial-resistant bugs as well as serves no actual value for 99.9% of people or homes.
