"If, in all sectors of society, women are on the ascent, and if gender parity is actually within reach, this means that a marriage regime based on men’s overwhelming economic dominance may be passing into extinction. As long as women were denied the financial and educational opportunities of men, it behooved them to “marry up”—how else would they improve their lot? (As Maureen Dowd memorably put it in her 2005 book, Are Men Necessary?, “Females are still programmed to look for older men with resources, while males are still programmed to look for younger women with adoring gazes.”) Now that we can pursue our own status and security, and are therefore liberated from needing men the way we once did, we are free to like them more, or at least more idiosyncratically, which is how love ought to be, isn’t it?"
— From “All the Single Ladies” by Kate Bolick- This was a really interesting article- well worth the read

"If you look at food — the most common place where we have the concept of “diet” we’d never say that a healthy diet is “temporarily not eating” — that’s either waiting between meals/snacks, fasting, or anorexia, but it’s not dieting. A healthy information diet means being selective about one’s information intake, and consciously consuming it."

I love these “glimpses into the future” videos. This was produced by Microsoft and is their vision of what technology in the future could look like.
Aside from the cool touchscreen technology, I was interested by the focus on analytics that ran throughout the video. The virtual reality applications are pretty amazing too. Can we have the future…. today?

I’m a week late for Halloween, but I still love the typography and design on these “Monster Supplies” from Hoxton Street Monster Supplies (naturally). This is actually a real store in London, but they also have an online store for all your Monster Supply needs.

"It’s sad that Wile E. Coyote is remembered for his violence and not for his brilliantly realistic paintings of tunnels."
