Hong Kong is one of my favorite places in the world and this Flickr photoset comparing old photographs of Hong Kong with modern images of the same locations is making me have wanderlust. It’s amazing to see what has changed and what has stayed the same over all these years.

Nixon is quickly becoming one of my favorite watch makers and their Fall 2009 collection sees the introduction of the Chronicle (shown above), an analog watch with a modern yet classic look. The watch will sell for about $250-$300 which is a bit pricey for me, so I’m gonna go ahead and beg Nixon for a sample here.
Nixon, are you reading this? If you are so kind enough, I’d gladly accept a free sample of this Chronicle watch and wear it with pride. I’ll rep it, I’ll tell everyone about it (and all your other watches), and I’ll even take lots of photographs of me wearing it in all sorts of places!!!

Navigation sucks balls but if you’ve got the repagination add-on for Firefox you can bypass all of that “Next” nonsense.
Thanks JSTN!
UPDATE: Haha, ok, I did the hard work for you. Check out the gallery of Christoph’s images below.

Today’s big news headline was the closing of the Rocky Mountain News, an almost-150-year news establishment and Denver, Colorado’s oldest continually operating business. The news didn’t hit me particularly hard because I don’t live in Denver nor do I ever read the Rocky Mountain News. But after hearing all about the historic newspaper’s final print edition, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful front page they had printed.
The final front page pays homage to the beginnings of the Rocky Mountain News, bringing back the old 1859 typeface side-by-side with a more modern look in the center. In terms of writing and designing one’s own eulogy in print, the Rocky Mountain News certainly did a very good job with it. What a lovely, albeit tragic, way to go out.
