Can't I just eat my waffle?


Having spent four years in the south, I appreciate a good Waffle House Experience. First, there's the black-on-yellow signage above the establishment, shining through the early morning, stuffy haze like a lighthouse beacon. Then, there's the usually friendly staff, which is a feat in and of itself, considering they are working in, well, a Waffle House. Then, of course, there are the waffles. Need I say more? Ok: I spent two days almost entirely encapsulated inside the McDonough, Georgia Waffle House while my Volkswagen Beetle was having its guts replaced in the garage next door. And the waffles just kept coming.

All of this is by way of introduction to the Very Small Array's lovely collection of maps, which can be found here.

Great design and great food take the same stuff to make


I am a closet foodie. And I love the metaphor of a good designer being like a good chef (take all the ingredients you are given, and make something amazing from them). This all by way of saying I'm not going off on too much of a tangent here when I announce that I am also blogging over at MadeUpFood.com, fellow designer Heather Gardner-Madras's blog about how to make great food with whatever you may have on hand. My first post is on a food item dear to my heart: the Chocolate Burrito. Check it out. And more, importantly, make one, and tell me it isn't the best breakfast food you've ever had!
