On the note of what I was writing about yesterday, watched a documentary with Mom n’ Pop tonight about Vidal Sassoon.

Turns out it took him 9 years of study on his own to develop the geometrical skills necessary for the revolutionary 5-point cut.

Have a lot more nights at the desk if I’m going to get my businesses and writing to the place I want.

Vidall Sassoon Behind The Scenes

one of the most exciting things i’ve seen in a while

are the annual reports created by Nicholas Felton. My Dad sent me a link to the article in the NY Times about them, and Pop also correctly pointed out their distinctive Tufte-an tinge.

It is inspiring to see someone have an idea then go from that to creating it and finally publishing and marketing it all on their own and to have it be big enough that it gets covered by the Times. Typically each one of those roles is done by a different person. Props feltron.
