...popular introduction at the ICFF, for example, came from renowned product designer Yves Behar, who was hired by a small, San Francisco-- based company called Fleurville to create a cool high chair. The result is the Calla chair, a pistil-shape foam-and-aluminum piece that will retail for a cool $925 and, like the Bugaboo, will come in customized colors. Similarly, Philippe Starck has applied his eye to strollers, portable high chairs and diaper bags for McLaren, the popular British stroller brand. Designers like David Netto have found their niche giving such nursery staples as cribs and changing tables...

"I live in the long tail," Downes said at a blogging event in Vancouver last year. And not necessarily by choice. "[Bloggers] who are in the long tail would probably rather not be part of it," he said. "They simply want to be read." As an earlier catchphrase put it, if the tail were smarter, it would...
...influence your attitude toward religion? I didn't even know my mom was Jewish until I was 13. I was so traumatized by the Catholic experience that I never thought to ask, "Why doesn't Mom go to church?" Even though I may not have known I was the product of a mixed marriage, I definitely understood that dogma was not a good thing.
