I've enjoyed catching up with the Studio360 podcast today. A couple of bits caught my ear. This show has a great interview with Herbie Hancock, which reveals how his training as an electrician helped his career and how Maiden Voyage (which he'd say is his best piece) was written as soundtrack for a Yardley Cologne ad.
And Ben'll like the feature in this show on the redesign of the font for the US interstate sign system. Graphic design saving lives, that's what we want.
Good piece about the roadsigns in NYT http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/12/magazine/12fonts-t.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&oref=slogin

The NYT has a brilliant slideshow on this http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2007/08/12/magazine/20070812_CLEARVIEW_2.html
(er, the signage thing, not the Yardley Cologne thing)
