how many architects....

does it take to design our own workspace? i think we have 13 involved, and we can't get it right. one thing that we did agree on is that we're not going to allow our clients to come into this haphazard mini-office... which is sort of ironic, when you think about it: shouldn't we want to show off our own work?

blogging and ridiculous ideas

i've been slacking on my blogging and focusing on my flickr photos... i started to get the feeling that i didn't really have a blog following anymore-- that most of you had given up on my musings... i hope i am wrong, though.

at any rate, i was searching through my old external hard drive and found this project proposal from my integrated building systems class at RISD... (yes the initials are IBS-- who thought of that?). i cannot believe we actually presented this as a design option. we took a sketch, then created our own design inspired by the sketch... maybe i'll add some of the more ridiculous pictures, but for now...

this is the start of our youth hostel.

you can call me ARCHITECT!

i agree.

i really like this post, especially this part:

Passion = Authenticity: When you are passionate, everything you do becomes truly real.

baby blanket

i knit this blanket for a friend's new baby. it needs a bit of finishing but you get the gist...
i cannot decide what to do for the border-- if it needs one at all...

it is based off of this design, from purlsoho-- found here.

look at the pretty colors!

have you seen these yet? i have not seen them in person... but they look cool.  those apple people are genius.  we are so sucked into consumerism.  one of my co-workers mentioned he will get one so i hope to see it soon.  i do have a few concerns, though:

1.  what happens if you're running?  naturally the iPod shakes... does it randomly shuffle songs?

2. with all these colors, and the trends these days... where is the brown one? shouldn't they make a brown iPod?

and another thing

will this be good? 

let me know if you get the sundance channel, and i'll come over.  i will bring a snack for us to share.
