Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.

Some slick iconographic design on the rear wheel of Lance Armstrong's Trek time trial bike at the Tour de France. Looks like Futura 2000 (?) came up with the concept and Nike designer Mark Smith ran with it. See it at HYPEBEAST.

Top Gear on Discovery Channel

I like fast cars. I like good television. So when Autoblog recommended checking out the British-import Top Gear I set the DVR straitaway. ("Set it...and...forget it." Remember that infomercial?)

After 60 minutes of watching great hosts, beautiful camera work and a Lotus Exige attempt to outrun a missle lock from an Apache helicopter I can, without hesitation, recommend car lovers adding this show to their regular rotation. View Top Gear schedule on Discovery Channel.
