Everything is moving so fast. Today is the last day I’ll get to walk to lunch in midtown, and the last day I can ride my bike to work. I’m moving to Rancho tomorrow for the remainder of the semester, and then off to Salinas.

I hate it, not because I don’t want to live with my wife (it’s still strange calling her that), but I’m going to miss this place dearly. I wish I had more time, and that the time I have wouldn’t be squandered by school and work.

Logo Project

I just finished this for class. Having drawn this insect around 80 times, I’m ready to move on to something else.

This is the “elegant” logo:

And here is the “fierce” logo:

Seeing dawn in the countryside does me good, seeing dawn in the city affects me for both good and ill and therefore does me even more good. For the greater hope it brings me contains, as does all hope, the far-off, nostalgic aftertaste of unreality. Dawn in the countryside just exists; dawn in the city overflows with promise. One makes you live, the other makes you think. And, along with all the other great unfortunates, I’ve always believed it better to think than to live.

It makes sense to use food as a topic and medium for design. The world has never seen more schizophrenia on the food side of life than today. We eat things that we don’t know who made or what they made it of. We have never been so disconnected to nature while at the same time we grow rooftop-gardens and buy cookbooks like it’s the new religion. While more people eat alone and get obese, Denmark has a fat tax. Some children in the USA are obese and malnourished at the same time. Food allergies are mushrooming and slow food is growing big. So is the waist of the average Western-world child.

Designers themselves are also ready to shift from the materialisation of shape only, to the possibility of ideological design that can be a service, an experience or an emotion.

And what material gets closer to you, goes inside your body and is more connected to emotions than food?

Great physicists and their blackboards
Pauling’s is my favourite.

Love this. Now can we have a slideshow of great physicists and their birthday cakes (preferably being delivered by nurses, if that is indeed a nurse)?
