AYFKMWTS?: Why I Think The Whole Photo Exclusivity Thing Is Stoopid

You know how some blogs and magazines have this policy where they won't post any projects that have ever, ever, ever, ever been included in any other mag or blog? Right, well I think that that whole policy is completely retarded.

Here's why:

[REVIEW'D] The Alt Design Summit

Hey all you ppl who didn't go to the Altitude Design Summit (aka #altsummit) in Salt Lake City last week: SUCKKKKKKAAAAZZZZZZ!

Yep, it rawked that hard.

In it's second year, the Altitude Design Summit brings together the best of the best in the world of shelter/design bloggers for 2 days of kickass panels, inspiring keynotes, and down-n-dirty networking. I didn't attend last year so I didn't really know what to expect. But I was super impressed with their list of speakers, and thought the sessions sounded killer, and oh yeah, full disclosure: the company I work for, Squarespace was one of the sponsors.

[I'M OBSESSED] The Sartorialist

Even if you don't give a rat's ass about fashion...or photography...or style, you're still a real life crazy person if you don't visit The Sartorialist several times a week. If I had to choose one site as my absolute, hands down fave, that site would definitely be it.

I LOVE IT SO HARD. Also Scott Schuman, the brains and galactically talented photographer behind the site, is like THE OG fashion blogger. The dude literally kinda invented the concept of street fashion blogging as we know it.

[I'M OBSESSED] The New Traditionalists-n-Design TV

BREAKING: looks like its time to dump all my references to Vintage Modern, cause I'm now officially a card carrying NEW TRADITIONALIST. Like, I'm ready to print that on a mug or a mousepad or some shit.

Last night I was lucky enough to get my ass invited to the Design TV party, thrown by a couple of my Twitter BFF's @JonathanLegate and @ABCDDesigns. If you don't follow them on Twitter, you're kind of crazy, and if you don't join in on their always lively #designTV chat every Monday from 11:30-1:30 EST you are REALLY stoopid.

Decor Demon, HGTV & Why We Should All Give A Shit

photo: Sarah Dorio (minus my stupid writing)Ok, so you know how "Bloggers are Here!?" Well, I don't wanna jump the gun or anything, but it *seems* like HGTV is kinda gettin that memo. Crazy, right??

I mean, first they choose Emily as the winner of Design Star and give her that kickass new show Secrets From A Stylist, and now they just announced that none other than DECOR DEMON will be blahgging blogging for them every week on their Design Happens blog. E-V-E-R-Y week, ppl. ZOMGZ!

And last week, while Nate Berkus was all busy ignoring bloggers, not asking bloggers for any of their feedback, not reading any design blogs and then pretending that he did, HGTV was busy planning a lunch JUST FOR DESIGN BLOGGERS. I wasn't there, but allegedly they asked people questions! And took note of opinions! And read our stuff all the time! I mean, who knows what any of it really means, but still: I'm givin credit where credit is due, and those HGTV btchz deserve some.

But here's the thing: since they're telling us that they give a shit what we think, and it *seems* like they're making efforts to produce content and shows that do a better job of speaking to us, its only fair that we speak our asses up and let em know if they're fucking shit up or doing a good job, right?

RIGHT.
