Jenny Cestnik’s inspiration
get fuzzy
in my humble opinion this is one of the funniest comics out there. It's been even more awesome the past few days with the introduction of "Stank Lloyd Wrong" the cat architect. Classic.

The Thermals: A Pillar of Salt
I just discovered the Thermals, who are a band from 'home' aka Portland, Oregon. They have a great punk sound that's really catchy... This is one of those songs that I can put on repeat and happily build models into the wee hours of the night.

architekt font
This is probably an unintentional product plug, but I can't help it. I ran across this 'font' today that is based off of 3-d spaces and cityscapes. What results is a figure|ground relationship between positive and negative, uppercase and lowercase [ie/neon green vs. black] and the mixing and matching between the two.
I think it's a really cool idea, and could be fun to do with abstractions one's own design projects... and I'm betting it would work with my current project that questions the notion of 'play' in the city. This might give my presentation that sleek|cool look it's been lacking.

Aurland Lookout
A gut wrenching lookout near the small Norwegian town of Aurland. Approximately 100ft / 30m above a fjord, the only thing keeping you from walking over the edge is a glass partition [which leads me to wonder how they keep it so pristine and clean].
I will be sorely disappointed if I never get to experience this in my lifetime.

A decent power point
While I am not that interested in "making money blogging" I really like the format of this power point presentation. Going to school, it seems that professors, presenters, and students are all notorious for giving talks that have power points full of small text and lack graphics of any kind.
This presentation style flips it. 1 thought per slide, placed over a related/witty graphic. It places an emphasis on the key thoughts of the presenter, rather than making him/her a narrator for what essentially becomes a 'digital hand out'.
I'm sure this also helps with the "reading the power point" problem...
Hopefully I can figure a way to relate this style to my own design presentations in the near future [read: next week].
