“For those of us who believe in physics,” Einstein once wrote to a friend, “this separation between past, present and future is only an illusion.”

love the quirky, playful designs, where she looks to her family and roots for inspiration.
Check out her Modular Lettering. The lobster traps an homage to her father's lobster catching ways...
Her Family tree is so adorable with the illustrated frames on a bright yellow patterned background.

Interesting article about small farms harvesting rare plants and then working directly with restaurants who would feature these unique ingredients in a recipe (NY Times).
Iroquois White-Corn Cakes With Maple Syrup and Bacon
Field Report: Family Heirlooms (August 30, 2009)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch-square baking dish.
2. In a 3- to 4-quart ovenproof saucepan, heat the milk to a simmer. Whisk in the cornmeal in a slow, steady stream. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and whisk in the butter a few cubes at a time. Season to taste with Tabasco, salt and pepper. Let cool for a few minutes, then add the egg yolks, stirring well to incorporate.
3. Transfer the grits to the buttered pan and spread out evenly, approximately 1 inch thick. Cover with plastic, pushing down to ensure that no air circulates. Refrigerate.
4. Cut the grits into 6 triangles. Set the oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. When hot, add the grits, working in batches, and sear on one side until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and place in the oven to warm through.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until just crisp. Pour off the fat and add the maple syrup. Baste the bacon until the syrup thickens.
6. To serve, place a corncake on each plate and top with 3 slices of bacon.
Serves 6.
Note: Iroquois white cornmeal can be purchased in the fall at www.thespencefarm.com. White grits can be purchased at ansonmills.com or kalustyans.com.

Andy Gilmore & Dropular (sights)
Andy Gilmore has some cool designs and photographs.
Also, check out this animation of a dancer. From Dropular, sorta like a visual version of Digg. It's a good source for inspiration. (from World Famouse Designe Junkies)
