This is just more of an abstract question open to debate than a post-something-cool, but what do you guys think about Amazon.com’s design? Don’t you think it looks kind of terrible? The design doesn’t speak to how much money they’re making. Could they make more money with an aesthetically-better page?

Photo Journal: From Retail to Reality
Moving out of my apartment already taught me what these photos have to say. Worth a look.
“ I was too heartsick to enjoy my foie gras ”
“ From March 30th to April 4th 2009, at the invitation of Matthew Stadler, I lived in a small room on the fifth floor of the so-called “White Stag Building” in the middle of Portland. The building belonged to the University of Oregon and had a long history of various occupants, from Asian immigrant garment manufacturers to students of architecture. I wandered the building at night with recording equipment after students had left, and ruminated on the site, specifically on what the spot must have been like before the building was even there. I heard that the native people in the area didn’t consider the spot suitable for settling and that it was mostly a swampy stopping-over place for travelers headed upriver at dusk. Focussing on the rumor, hanging out mostly in the underground basement, I wrote songs from the idea that a mythical white deer had died in the swamp where the city of Portland would later grow, haunting the site forever. I read that the white stag exists in the mythology of many cultures as a perpetually pursued rare creature, never caught, like humankind’s quest for happiness and spiritual fulfillment. The muddy brutal history of early Portland (and everywhere else in the region in the late 19th century) seemed like an appropriate punishment from an imagined animal god that had died in the mud among the stumps and cursed the place. Now in 2009 a sign of a giant white deer in neon looms above the site like a gravestone over the cars and homeless people on the bridge. ”

This is a good in-studio performance, something that I think is rare and difficult. Meeting Natasha Khan would be worthwhile.

I don’t care about celebrity gossip, but this site is well designed and probably represents some kind of future.
