Twice recently, I’ve been contacted by friends and advertisers who have found other stores selling goods that are suspiciously similar to products that they market themselves. One was Sue Stonebender who, at Serendipity Studios, sells her amazing pianos. The other was kalli and kadri Heart whose store at The Lair contains a wealth [...]

On Wednesday June 26th 2007, Linden Labs issued their new policy, which you can read [...]

I love reporting on the opening of new stores and shopping opportunities - or when a much-loved store gains a makeover. But it’s always sad to have to report when a store or a shopping mall just doesn’t make it - and today I have news of two that I’ve reported in this blog [...]

Not that this has anything to do with design at all - and you certainly won’t be getting a picture!
