If you’re in the US, don’t forget to contact your federal representatives and tell them not to support SOPA/PIPA! Wikipedia has made it extremely easy to do so today.

Listen to Captain Picard, everyone.

Well, the TNG fashion blog gets it. Also, while it can’t be true, this makes me feel I’d be taken VERY seriously, if I wore a Starfleet uniform in my daily life.

Edit: Is it me, or has this site become a bit TNG heavy lately? I’ll tone it down.

"In the study of ideas, it is necessary to remember that insistence on hard-headed clarity issues from sentimental feeling, as it were a mist, cloaking the perplexities of fact. Insistence on clarity at all costs is based on sheer superstition as to the mode in which human intelligence functions."

Alfred North Whitehead: Adventures of Ideas (found in the medium is the MASSAGE)

Noah, we were both reading Alfred North Whitehead at the same moment!

1982:

#Timeless : video essay/design fiction about identity, time and with an exceptional line-up featuring brilliant minds like Bernhard Hermann, Bruce Sterling and Rafaël Rozendaal. Another inspiring creation by Gabriel Shalom and Patrizia Kommerell from KS12.

—-

Some months ago we had a nice dinner with a nice group of people in Berlin, organized by Mario Gamper (Ideas will Travel) and Marcello (Platoon). Along with them we met Gabriel and Patrizia, a beautiful couple who shared with us a bit of what this project was about. Now that we watch it for the first time we feel lucky, inspired and #timeless.

In a dark and somehow sad day for the “internet people”, watching this video is quite refreshing.

Thanks Gabriel and Patrizia, you give us #timeless hope.

In Which I Feel Too Cool

The artist “iPhone” precedes Jan Hammer in my iTunes library. This means that the first song to auto play after one of my voice notes is “Crocketts’ Theme”. It’s my voice, some one minute monolog, frequently a ridiculous idea. Then Crockett’s Theme.

This makes me wonder, assuming there are other people who take voice notes with their iPhones (while driving), what songs play after theirs?

Fortunate Ones

I’m going to start a dating site that matches people by the fortunes they receive from fortune cookies. You upload a pic of your fortune/s and we match you with people who have complimentary or similar ones!

Go-Kart Picard

A dream, in which a friend, upon leaving a midwestern movie theater, becomes Captain Picard, and my car becomes a go-kart, and Picard needs a ride home. When we can’t make UP a nearly vertical freeway exit, I apologize for the delay and we turn around to find another route. Just as we’re about to get underway after turning the go-kart around, the gas pedal breaks. I ask Picard if he’s willing to pull on the throttle cable while I drive. He initially seems disapproving of the idea, but accepts his fate, and I think might have started to enjoy it. I point out a low on the horizon moon, and how it’s the largest I’ve ever seen (in the dream it was HUGE) Picard says something like “oh yes”, but looks unimpressed.

the-rx:

Now that location-based metadata waft through the space, thereby  redefining contexts and places, a new field opens up to designers: How  will information be usefully integrated into the physical space?  Inspired by the fictional illustrations by Ingeborg Marie Dehs Thomas, who interprets the spatial expansion of  radio waves, we attempted to lend metadata a form. Using the light painting technique,  we placed our idea of these data in a room, making it haptic. The  resulting forms depict possible data sets and examine the design  possibilities between technoid holograms and personal notes.

If this blog were about ranting and design, this entry would be about people who think there are no straight lines in nature, and what poor observers of the ‘natural’ world they are.

This is very close to what I envision for part of the indoor jungle-gym.

“Depending on the amount of time and participants, we define a project for every workshop.”

“Indeed, like in any endeavor, change and neural rewiring takes hard work over time.” : |

“There were differences between the groups.” Woo boy.

“This finding seemed to imply that natural selection favored innately aggressive, warlike men in human pre-history.” 
Uh-oh.  That’ll teach me to keep nothing but books about war and murder on my desk. 

For joeyjoseph this would be: “…. Asia in a wave of deliberate migrations that swept through the islands, but completely bypassed Melanesia.” Wade Davis, The Wayfinders

A schoolhouse in Stockholm replaces rigid classroom walls with a colorful flowing landscape of learning spaces.

Exactly! I don’t think I need to keep A blog anymore. This pretty much sums up everything I wanted to say.

"The highest state of Love is not a relationship at all, it is simply a state of your Being.
Just as trees are green, a lover is loving. They are not green for particular persons, it is not that when you come they become green. The flower goes on spreading it’s fragrance whether anybody comes or not, whether anybody appreciates or not. The flower does not start releasing its fragrance when it sees that a great poet is coming by—‘Now this man will appreciate, now this man will be able to understand who I am.’ And it does not close its doors when it sees that a stupid, idiotic person is passing there—insensitive, dull, a politician or something like that. It does not close itself—‘What is the point? Why cast pearls before swine?’ No, the flower goes on spreading its fragrance.
It is a state of being, not a relationship."
