modernist picnic set

February 22nd, 2009 ethereal

this one is for you valentina … today at goodwill gioia and i found an “ingrid party ball” picnic set. in one word, fabulous. i have very little information about when it was made or who ingrid was, but as an object and a picnic set its super!

laser bike lane

February 4th, 2009 ethereal

I am not sure how well this works, but I love the idea (thanks joshua for the link!) I especially like the idea in the write-up of a device that scorches the paint off of the cars parked in the bike lane. Can it also incinerate yard waste that people love to leave in the lane too, like tree branches.

what to wear to get fired

February 4th, 2009 ethereal

having spent a massive amount of time reading and writing about what to wear in the corporate work world in the context of thesis, i found this column especially interesting. what to wear to get canned … its written in a lighter tone that reflects more the state of the economy that being let go as a result of disciplinary action. anyway, for those of you who know what my thesis topic was, its a humorous take.
