It’s time for change on this blog. I’ve been overly enthused about using this blog as a place to share seemingly “cool” things that I’ve found on the internet and beyond. I’d really like to start digging through libraries, books, old collections, etc, to find more things to scan/photograph to put on this blog as well.
In my constant searching though, I’ve found that I really don’t appreciate how wordpress functions and would really like a better suited blog style for my mission.
Lately I have fallen in love with Tumblr. I know Tumblr has existed for quite some time, but I have never 1)experimented with or 2)experienced Tumblr to it’s full potential. The past few weeks I have been able to dive into the programming of Tumblr and see what it can do. I can easily see it’s potential.
I have built out a new blog to replace this one…maybe not REPLACE, in such the harsh term, but for now I want to move the content of this blog to a new home. It is primitive at the moment and very template-matic, but it will grow over time.
As you see it when you first arrive is as far as I’ve built it out, but it has many capabilities. The Quote post, the Text post, the Link post, the Music post. I have only built out the Picture post so far. I will get to those in due time and make them my own. I want to customize it a little bit more from here, but we’ll see with time.
I want it to be much like this current blog, if not identical, but I want it to be able to 1)function great and 2)look great, which i think is something that wordpress (while it COULD potentially do this, but with much more work and effort) falls short on.
You never know, I may be back on this wordpress blog in a few days, but I expect to stay with Tumblr for a while.
Be sure to update your RSS feed, should you use one.
For now i’ll leave this blog up, as an archive. It’s been running since 2006, there is quite a bit of history here…but it feel it’s time for something new.
Nokia unveils that they are going to break into the PC world. Interesting. Been wanting a real competitor to the Macbook. Though I doubt this is it, you never know. Read the blog post here.Read the press release here.
The Brain is a 14,280 cubic-foot cinematic laboratory where the client, a filmmaker, can work out ideas. Physically, that neighborhood birthplace of invention, the garage, provides the conceptual model. The form is essentially a cast-in-place concrete box, intended to be a strong yet neutral background that provides complete flexibility to adapt the space at will. Inserted into the box along the north wall is a steel mezzanine. All interior structures are made using raw, hot-rolled steel sheets.
‘If I had a world of my own,
everything would be nonsense.
Nothing would be what it is,
because everything would be what it isn’t.
And, contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn’t be.
And what it wouldn’t be, it would.
You see?’ Lewis Carroll

What if there was an instrument which would change the world into something that we find strange? And better, what if this instrument can also change it back?
Does the world really look how we think it is, or does the world look like we want it to be? This question can be asked by looking at this project, with or without this particular instrument.

A project by Ontwerpduo on creating an instrument to see the world in a completely different fashion. Fascinating website. A great dig. Check it out. Beautiful and elegant.

ps – i found a reallllllllllly cool blog style that I want to play off of. I’m sick of this one. It’s not fit right for what I really want to use this blog for: sharing information. I’ll be implementing that soon.
