i have fallen in love with a website

I have spent hours on the National Parks Project site (and you should too!) As a designer, I am beyond impressed by how gorgeous looking and interactive the site is. On the other hand, as a music/movie, and especially nature lover, I am absolutely captivated and inspired by the breathtaking sound and visual of the Canadian landscape! Everything about the NPP is brilliant!

criminal records will forever be the greatest music store in the world!

A sad day for Toronto’s music scene: my all time favourite music store—Criminal Records—announced via Twitter and MySpace that they will be closing at the end of July. I am sure that more announcements/in-stores (?)/farewells (?) will come in the next few of weeks. For now, I want to give an early thank you to Paul and Josh + Criminal Records!
