PSFK

I had a short internship with these guys. They are a really great group of people, who do some awesome work. I stopped by, they gave me some interview space. It's a video blog entry.

3 Rings

This website is a new catch-all for ID. They have a huge list of things that they do there, one of them is reviews.

They dug a little deeper into the site, and found the original lights. They had quite a lot to say about them.

Blogs can just be little galleries of what people like.

Good Clean Tech

I think this light is hitting an intersection which has not been addressed.
Eco-tech people love all this technology, but they feel guilty for all the industrial waste.
www.Goodcleantech.com is trying to address these things.

Design Sponge

Getting anything on d*s is a gold mine. I heard this girl is only 24. She is definitely a tastemaker of a blog.





That's Tim Richardz. He cordinated the booth for the Pratt ID department.

Inhabitat for real

Abigail Doan and her Inhabitat team put together a nice little piece on this light.

Notcot.org, Kinda

Moco Loco, Kind of.

Moco Loco picked up on the Inhabitat coverage of Brooklyn Designs.





Brooklyn Designs show. Good press.

I got to show at the Pratt booth at the Brooklyn Designs show. I learned a couple things.

1. The Pratt booth this year was exceptional. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, our booth was packed solid for a good three hours.

2. We were given some major attention by some big interior designers, Amy Lau being one of them (http://www.amylaudesign.com) unfortunately, none of her attention was lavished on me, but that's ok.

3. If you have a booth with a lot of different things, you get people to stay in there longer. People would just walk by other booths, while almost everyone came in and sat in all our chairs, looked at all our lights, layed in Chas' coffin (kidding)


In anycase, I got some attention from inhabitat. I gave a good talk on LED lighting, and they featured me on their site. Check it out.

here are some photos:

The ball is starting to roll. NICE!

Moving on.

I never really finished blogging about my thesis project, but the project itself got to be so crazy that there was never really time. So its too bad about that. But I did make some amazing things out of it, and those are starting to get some press. From now on, this will be my press page.
