For the Love of the Grid
Gridness: this is quickly going to become my favorite new site. It’s kinda like all those inspiration sites, but tastily mathematical. So tasty. So mathematical.

Disney Preps Eyeball-Searing
If you’ve been to Disney’s California Adventure you know that is pales in comparison to the park across the way.

Oddly interesting article at AllEars that takes a look at a rather unique facet of the Disney World parks: the lampposts. Lighting has always been a strong thematic element of the Disney Parks, but I’ve never paid much attention to the lampposts themselves. Jack Spence took the time to document lampposts from all over the four parks, and it’s pretty amazing to see just how varied these lighting elements are and how they reflect the theme and visual style of the different areas they’re placed in. The link above is to part four of the article series (Animal Kingdom) but be sure to check out the other parts featuring the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
