Atelier Carvalho Bernau pays homage to Jean-Luc Godard, via a typeface. They designed JeanLuc based on Plaque Découpée Universelle, a set of stencil letters from the 1870s.
Godard’s 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d’elle is a/probably my favorite.

Catalogue Contemporary Art Magazine — Issue 5 > Tatiana Trouvé at the South London Gallery
Florence Ostende interviews Tatiana Trouvé, who speaks mostly of her exhibition at South London Gallery. Catalogue offers the interview in english and french.
I like Trouvé’s works, especially the interplay of drawing, sculpture and installation.
Boxing Lessons
One more from the opinionator, Gordon Marino on Boxing Lessons.
Fear is painful, but it can be faced, and in time a boxer learns not to panic about the blows that will be coming his way.
The Spoils of Happiness
The Spoils of Happiness by David Sosa for the opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com (cache: archive.org)
Happiness is more like knowledge than like belief.
[…]
To live a happy life is to flourish.
[…]
Happiness is harder to get. It’s enjoyed after you’ve worked for something, or in the presence of people you love, or upon experiencing a magnificent work of art or performance — the kind of state that requires us to engage in real activities of certain sorts, to confront real objects and respond to them.
An embodied knowledge situated in events and one’s immediate scene.

A great primer on digital media
It’s a technical and necessary listening for all who works with audio and video.
Xiph.Org Video Presentations: A Digital Media Primer for Geeks.
The program offers a brief history of digital media, a quick summary of the sampling theorem, and myriad details of low level audio and video characterization and formatting. It’s intended for budding geeks looking to get into video coding, as well as the technically curious who want to know more about the media they wrangle for work or play.
