Me: No.
[redacted]: You don't?
Me: No.

Me: Do you think I'm Billy?

WatchHave you seen this Al Gore documentary that Spike Jonze made in 2000? It’s great.
Watch the whole thing(13 min), but if you only have a minute, watch 6:05 to 7:08, where he is talking about how important education is to this country.

This is a beautiful, haunting, electro mash-up of John K, Heffalumps & Woozels, and Little Shop of Horrors. Let it load in high-res, go full-screen, and get hypnotized.

Internet Wormhole
Been distracting myself on the internet today looking up an assortment of chained-together topics on CNC milling then Python coding then C++ coding then multiplexers and demultiplexers then shift registering which finally lead me to BOOLEAN EQUATIONS.
And then my brain collapsed in on it’s own withered gray matter.

A little over a year ago, I made a chair. It was the first thing I ever welded. It was the first thing I ever designed as an...
This Year, Use Design Tools to Redesign Your Life →
I dug up this link to an article from the Huffington Post(January 2011, by Linda Tischler).
