David Durling has come out with the June issue of the . If you haven't already, you may want to , but if the last thing you need is another subscription, here are a few highlights I found interesting.

Design Philosophy Papers. Philosophy is not my strong suit, so I most enjoyed the beauty-in-use article. But manifesto fans may want to check out the hot debate.

Interdisciplines. I'm not sure what this site is really about, as explanation "a website for interdisciplinary research in the humanities" leaves a bit to be desired. But I liked the looks of some of the offerings on their page of links, which you may be into if you care about the overlap of technology, art, and the social sciences.

NextDesign Leadership Institute. This is a new initiative which is building their offerings. Here is their mission:

Part 1: To help raise awareness regarding how the challenges of design leadership have radically changed at the leading edge of the marketplace.

Part 2: To help open alternate tracks in the conversation landscape around the subject of design leadership.

Part 3: To help several forward thinking graduate design schools and other design based organizations, prepare to meet the challenges of cross-disciplinary design and innovation leadership in the 21st Century.

They do have a preliminary online journal going, so you may want to start with that if design leadership is an interest area.
