1. I always wish I had gotten a better grasp of the concepts behind math instead of just memorizing the rules, so this new series from the NY Times is perfect: A math professor is going through math concepts a step at a time in a weekly column. There’s more to be learned than just math, too–in the second column, he tells us that “The word ‘calculate’…comes from the Latin word ‘calculus,’ meaning a pebble used for counting.” Who knew?
2. I’ve debated sharing this, because it could mean more people camping out by Target on March 14, but did you know that they’re collaborating with my favorite textile designer Liberty of London and releasing a collection of clothes, homewares, and even bicycles? Check out the teaser video here.
3. Do you know what else happens March 14? Mad Men Season 3 is released on DVD! I can’t wait for March 14.

Creativo Surface Design is reaching out to textile/surface designers across the globe and we came across your website. We feel that your work would be a great addition to our pool of designs.
Right now Creativo Surface Design is looking to work with freelance textile designers to design for the different apparel markets we serve. We are working at the moment on putting together the collections for next year trade shows. Just to give you an idea, we have boys, girls, juniors, women’s and men’s collections (swimwear, street wear…etc.)
If you have something under your portfolio, that it is not older than a year, please send us JPEGs in order for us to see and determine if they are a good fit to what our customers are looking for. We are working on Spring-Summer 2011 right now.
Just to let you know you, we keep the designer’s names and contact info strictly confidential. So NO worries. In our company we signed a confidentiality agreement so we do not disclose your name and info.
Let me know if you are interested in this opportunity. Also, if you know of any other designers that you want to recommend please give them a hint, send us their personal e-mail address and we will keep in touch with them.
All the best!
Warm Regards,
Danny Naz

Well, now that you mentioned the launch, I don’t feel so guilty talking about it. I so cannot wait!
