The Google of Wallpapers... →
I stumbled across this today. If you like to change up your wallpaper you can just search through this stuff and find something interesting I think. I haven’t tested it a whole bunch.

dear girl i sit next to at work,
i cannot possibly begin to explain to you how overwhelmingly little i care about what bathing suit you buy off the victoria’s secret website with your victoria’s secret credit card. or about which model you would be if you could be absolutely anyone in the entire world. and if you sigh and say, “so many choices” about how much trouble you’re...
James Dyson to Cure Cancer →
Let’s be honest, when you look at vacuums no other brand compares to Dyson. It’s not even a close contest. Then he makes a blade-less fan? What’s next James, cancer?
Save us...
The typical Design Communications class, aka descom, usually just means we draw a lot and render those drawings. The class is designed to improve the techniques with which we communicate our designs, aka sketching.
Two weeks in and we haven’t had a drawing assignment. We had two weeks to work on our portfolio, got almost no help from out professor and had to contact an ex-professor and...
747
If there is one tool I use more than anything else as a designer, it is most likely black Verithin Prismacolor pencils. I also like the fact that the pencil number is 747.

Winter Love
Sometimes I forget why I love winter. It’s cold outside, snow never lasts or cancels school, everything is usually grey, and no one really wants to be outside. Everyone usually isn’t in the best mood. For whatever reason no one likes the cold. But a simple walk home reminds me of the better side of winter. Snow is beautiful, all you have to do is ignore that crap snow becomes when it...
My favorite subject... →
I’m taking Honors 289. Yes I’m aware it’s not required anymore but past experiences have told me honors classes can actually be easier and give me credit towards graduating with honors. I was a little worried about this class, until I met the teacher, Captain Kirk Boyle. Basically he’s a young guy who spent the entire first day making sarcastic remarks, calling things and...
The Big Picture: Harbin Ice and Snow Sculpture... →
I think I blogged about this earlier, but “The Big Picture” is basically news in awesome photographs. This is a winter masterpiece and quite frankly I’m impressed that anyone can create this type of thing. I wonder how much time and ice goes into this type of thing.
AMDs...
Can’t say much more than that, I have sign a confidential agreement. Which basically means top secret stuff is going down.
I'll take it as a compliment
“Director James Cameron told the New York Times that the character (who spends much of her day motionless and controlling her giant blue avatar) sports a disregard for her body as “a negative comment about people in our real world living too much in their avatars, meaning online and in video games.”
So exactly what was wrong with being an Avatar in the movie, because I’m pretty sure, we...
“Modern Warfare 2 isn’t simply a “disappointment” — it’s a damn travesty. Not only is the campaign’s story mode nonsensical, it does little to do justice to the brave soldiers in our military. What happened to moving in proper formation? What happened to prepping the right intel before entering hostage situations? Why am I dual-wielding Uzis and a silenced...
back again
Tomorrow I pack the rest of my stuff and restart this cycle. Hopefully another great quarter ahead. This means I have to actually become productive again.
