Cool design is just that

I’m always intrigued when someone comes up wit ha great design. Things like a well designed website that considers it’s user, or a tool or piece of furniture that is well designed and serves it’s purpose well (think the Eames chair not the Breurer chair). Here’s a fun light design that you can build yourself, I’d love to see it large scale in a club or music hall.

mountain fun

Outdoors in winter can be one of the most captivating experiences, especially if you’re in the Canadian Rockies. As part of the U of Calgary’s outdoor program, we snowshoed the Baldy Mountain/Lusk Creek loop. Five hours of sun, crisp mountain air and breathtaking scenery (not a Starbucks within an hour’s drive from here). When you stop plowing through knee deep virgin snow, you can hear the deafening silence. Living in a city, I forgot how quiet it can be, deep in the mountains. We’ll be back soon.

Christmas

I love the way people are to each other, kindness abounds for two weeks a year. It’s also the only time you can traverse a mall without your feet touching the floor. Down-time is always a great time to fit in some drawing.
