Hello friends. My parents are in town until Monday, so this blog will jut be reblogs of stuff until they leave. I’ve only got like 5 minutes a day to myself between work and sleep, and now “hanging with the folks” will replace the time that I allot to write this here blog every day (I still haven’t figured out a time to go to the bathroom yet).
Cheers!

INCREDIBLE.
Agreed. Also, if you aren’t following my brilliant friend Danny, then you are a bad person. Remedy that shit stat.
GODDAMMIT, THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
Also, “Sausage Flute” has GOT to be a band name. Or at least an album title.

I don’t care about football at all, but this is pretty awesome. If more roofs collapsed on camera, I might watch sports more regularly.
I bought a book a while ago that I keep in my bathroom next to my toilet. It’s called “101 Things I Learned in Architecture School” by Matthew Frederick. As a tool for learning the basics of Architecture, it’s great - it really breaks down concepts such as Informed Simplicity, Figure-Ground Theory, and Solid/Void Relationships in ways that even a stupid piece of crap like moi can dig fairly easily. Each page of the book has one idea, presented simply, and I really enjoy learning about a subject in which I have no prior knowledge and no desire to master.
Lately though, I’ve found that the book serves another purpose: Fortune teller. Because each page of the book has only one idea on each page - and is more often than not just one sentence - I find myself reading between the lines of each idea for a hidden meaning. To prove my point, here are three random pages from the book. Think about your day, read these, then tell me I’m crazy:
- Any aesthetic view is usually enhanced by the presence of a counterpoint.
- Windows look dark in the daytime.
- A good building reveals different things about itself when viewed from different distances.
… Tell me I’m crazy.
