“A good artist makes those things that nobody asks for. He just follows his intuition and cannot be stopped by anyone or anything.” — Joep Van Lieshout [source]
“The crisis of the spectacular demands a call for a new subjectivity, for a subject removed from the passivity induced by the image and engaged by form in close reading.” — Peter Eisenmann [source]

Helping other people helps me
Having guts always works out for me
Thinking that life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now
Being not truthful always works against me
Everything I do always comes back to me
Assuming is stifling
Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on
Money does not make me happy
Travelling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life
Keeping a diary supports personal development
Trying to look good limits my life
Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses
Worrying solves nothing
Complaining is silly. Either act or forget
Actually doing the things I set out to do increases my satisfaction
Everybody thinks they are right
Low expectations are a good strategy
Everybody who is honest is interesting

Although the motivations and ultimate direction of the ban are unclear, the immediate result is amazing! A city nearly as large as New York with next to no outdoor advertising. Considering it’s also a city I know to be famous for it’s art, music, street art, graffiti, designers, and new media folks… sounds like heaven to me. read more

KMODDL is a collection of mechanical models and related resources for teaching the principles of kinematics—the geometry of pure motion. The core of KMODDL is the Reuleaux Collection of Mechanisms and Machines, an important collection of 19th-century machine elements held by Cornell’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
