Daniel Sugarman, the South End architect whose loft space I posted about last month, has recently been featured in the Boston Globe. There is a nice article that explores his 750 sq. ft. space, a gallery of photos, and even an audio slide show. Congratulations Daniel!

When you think of a Jaguar (the car, not the big cat), you typically think of a stately British car with a traditional design theme that traces back decades of the company’s history. Well, that might change soon. This past January (yes, I’m way late in posting this), Jaguar introduced the CX-F concept. The first [...]

A combination of five intertwining stories, the movie centers around some strange glowing pods that affect the characters’ senses. From this article in the Boston Bulletin, “Landauro described the pods as multi-faced metaphors that represent fear, love, technology and even gossip.” “Circuit” [...]
