Today It’s Nice That has posted Stewart’s 2009 Review as well as a brief page for the newly released Browser Pong. This makes for a sweet morning at Stewdio.

On a related note, Stewdio highly recommends the 1980 Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series, currently available for free on Hulu. Episode 12 in particular mentions the Arecibo Message as well as the Pioneer and Voyager probes.

The beautiful premiere print issue of London-based It’s Nice That appeared in the Stewdio mailbox yesterday to much excitement. The release coincides with the refresh of their website, http://itsnicethat.com. The print issue was designed by co-creators Will Hudson and Alex Bec in collaboration with Joseph Burrin. And it is gorgeous, not to mention the hypnotic smell of fresh ink. Having engaged so fully in the RGB world, Stewdio rarely enjoys the olfactory spoils of CMYK production. (Stewart cannot stop sniffing the pages and going on about memories of Gus Mazzocca and Laurie Sloan‘s Print Shop at UConn.)

The issue features Stewart’s essay Hello World Universe on Frank Drake’s 1974 Arecibo Message to aliens. It’s a humorous (and very loose) explanation of the message’s sophisticated design and how it inspires Stewdio. Also in this issue, a shout-out to fellow Yale MFA Ryan Waller whose work will appear in the It’s Nice That exhibition this September.
