The hottest story in the blogosphere on the last day of February 2008 is Alisa Miller’s three minute presentation at the TED Conference. Designed by the Carney Group and scripted by Duffy Pearce, Ms. Miller, the President and C.E.O. of Public Radio International, delivered a presentation outlining why Americans are so uninformed about international news.
To support her hypothesis Alisa used maps produced by worldmapper.org that changed the apparent sizes of countries depending on the amount of news coverage delivered to the American public.

The Circle Event
Photo by Pat Carney
OH WHAT A TIME THEY HAD!
The end of a wonderful night at Nightlight, a party at the "Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Julianne Amendola, Dan Jensen and Jules Inda pose for an informal group shot. Ms. Amendola and The Circle hold these parties. Each is more glamorous and better attended than the last one. The photographer had a good time, too.
The Perspective of
Current Events
This new web site format allows the celebration of all that's good at the Carney Group. We're sure that there's mostly good news. Inherent in this format is some inclusion of the bad. Today I planned to write about my photo that didn't make the Minnesota State Fair Competition, but the collapse of a bridge over the Mississippi is certainly more important.
As of right now
Everyone we know who might cross that span of 35W is alive and as well as they were before the tragedy. I'm sure there will be political repercussion for a governor who thinks road maintenance is too expensive for the people of Minnesota.
For now all we can do is pray for the lost and dead and hope this won't happen again soon.
the photo
Within the next couple of weeks this site will display more of my photos in a series of galleries. Until then, we have other things on our minds.

10,000 Arts
aftermath:
A great party
Glenwood avenue was celebrateD
as twin cities growing design destrict
Hundreds of people showed up at our little corner of the 10,000 Arts Crawl. Chill 7's jazz & funk was in rare form. Artists at each venue added their own flavor to the event.
People streamed in and out of the businesses along the Glenwood corridor from Ivy to The Carney Group then on to Abitaré, Ligne Roset, Hirshfield's and International Market Square.
Special congratulations to Jim Snustad of Abitaré and Jeff Herman of Urban Anthology. Jeff and his crew transformed the cinderblock shell at 825 Glenwood Avenue into a high end interior design studio turning it into the jewel of the avenue's revitalization.

Carney Is Sitting With
The Cool Kids
The Carney group is excited to be sitting with the cool kids at the designers lunch table. Spark Printing has decided to add our holiday picture frames to their repertoire of impressive letterpress work. The unique frames will be sent with every promotional pack distributed by Spark Printing Solutions to their potential clients. We share the table with other firms such as GRAPHICULTURE, J.D. Gordon Advertising, and Turnpost Creative Group. We're happy to say that being "Cool" suites us just fine.
Holiday cards for PRI
Public Radio International was looking for a more personal hand made look for a batch of holiday cards. We designed these to match an electronic version they used for email holiday greetings. Chris is silkscreening the design with a Gocco. Matt is inkjetting the return addresses on the envelope.

news
In the next few weeks we are going to put up several new web sites. The first of these shiney new sites is for KM Building Company.
We based the entire site around a centrally located KM Building Company logo. Doesn't look like a contractors web site, you say? Thank you. We were shooting for that.
Talk about product placement! Glenwood Avenue developer, Jeff Herman enjoys a Focus Nutrisoda while his wife, Liba prefers a Nutrisoda Calm. Their new daughter, Dahlia, is just hanging out.
Airforce® Nutrisoda® was one of the 10,000 Arts corporate sponsors.
Our very own Matt Alvar is getting married! He and his fiance Mindy are (hint hint) registered at Target, Macy's, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
This year's Summer Music & Movies series in Loring Park features the lush 1950s Hollywood films of director Douglas Sirk, which documents the public's growing discontent with the social conventions of the time.

HUMIDITY
Rain came down
hard and fast this afternoon.
This evening
an hysterical robin
Peep peep peeps
to the last slivers
of the sinking sun
sure that it won't come back.
While every other bird
is too hot and sticky to correct her.
Summer in Minneapolis resembles
Florida without the smell of salt water.

Chris Suggests:
Chris designed this poster for Transmission Live, a benefit for I-35W bridge survivor Mercedes Gorden. A portion of the proceeds will also go to MN Red Cross. Between the silent auction and stellar band lineup, this show is sure to be worth the $15 donation. Sunday, Sept. 23, 6:00pm at the Fine Line Music Cafe, 318 1st Ave N. MPLS.
Chris Digs:
This frequently updated blog posts pieces of conversations heard in passing. The results are usually hilarious, sometimes touching or even creepy, but always interesting.

I can only recommend
you watch for reruns.
