Linkinn.com amasses a collection of the "Best Vector Graphics Ever." I’d call it more of a mixed bag, and some of the images sometimes don’t load; even so, it’s worth a visit.
Mailer for Mayor: Michael Frumin posts the poster. Hey, let’s hear it for that West Side Monorail! (See also the Capitol-shaped airplane flying in Federal cash.) [Via]
On another politically-themed note, The New Republic sticks it to the new US passport design. "The cover may say United States, but the design taste is pure red states."

Apparently Michael Currie Schaffer in The New Republic considers it red-state to be proud of the U.S. The implicit corollary is that blue-staters believe the opposite. That’s simply a slander. One has to ask: why is The New Republic questioning the blue staters’ patriotism? [They’re not. They’re questioning the flag-wrapped, screaming-eagle kind of imagery that Stephen Colbert satirizes (most especially through his opening montage). This country is seen by many around the world as tasteless, brazen, and given to excess. I think TNR is asking whether those are impressions we want to validate through rah-rah graphic design. –J.]

Love the GelaSkins, anyone seen them somewhere in a store? Would like to see them live.
[I’ll take you by Z’s office on Monday to see them. 🙂 –J.]
