The season finale was last night and I enjoyed myself greatly. I think the creators of LOST have not “lost” it… they just keep getting better and better.
Now, I’ve looked at the show differently since I read www.timelooptheory.com. It’s a website with a theory on the whole LOST world and what is actually going on… [...]

So I stumbled across a web site in which graphics/designer/animator Cassidy Curtis and friends document the ever changing landscape of urban graffiti. From the site:
Graffiti is the chameleon skin of the urban landscape. Equal parts public art and vandalism, virtuosity and subversion, it is among the most ephemeral forms of human expression. Graffiti [...]

I saw this image of a residential development in Copenhagen, and it reminded me of a conversation we had recently on connecting with one another. These angular balconies make for a fascinating facade virtually moving and rotating in on itself while screaming “LET’S ACTUALLY TALK TO ONE ANOTHER!!! What a novel concept…” [...]
Amazing people… or amazing circumstances?

So, a friend of mine was telling me about HBO’s John Adams mini-series, and it got me to thinking. This is by no means a new discussion or line of thought, but I hadn’t really pondered it this hard in my own brain. So, I began to wonder, were these men (our “fore-fathers”) [...]

This is probably the best essay/ebook/manifesto/rant/piece of comfort I have read in years. The title is not terribly gripping or inspiring, but the content is awesome. It is called “How to Be Creative.” Written in 2004 by cartoonist Hugh Macleod (I am always the last to know).
For anyone who is creative and has been slapped [...]

I was reading a quote from Juhani Pallasmaa’s “The Eyes of the Skin”, in which the author states “The inhumanity of contemporary architecture and cities can be understood as the consequence of the negligence of the body and the senses, and an imbalance in our sensory system. The growing experiences of alienation, detachment and [...]

I always just assumed that everyone saw numbers and letters like I did. When I was in college I brought it up with some friends of mine. They looked at me like I had divulged that I believed in leprechauns.
I was explaining my mental image of the alphabet, how it started in the East and [...]

So I was thinking once again about science the other day. No particular field or brand of science. Just science. And about how different people understand certain values very differently. For example, a ton probably doesn’t mean much to an engineer designing massive dams, bridges, or skyscrapers. But it can mean quite a bit to [...]
