I know this is a common artist/creator thing, butI get so dang pissed off when I see that someone has done something similiar to what I did previously(and did not know had been done)
EXAMPLE: Ruler bracelets. I've been making these things out of compasses and various other rulers for a while, and I found almost the same thing on the site Cutout and Keep. With the exception that I risk my lunglife and melt the plastic in the oven.
ANYWAY, heres their version:

www.TheStatus.com

Does anyone else think this is the creepiest thing on the internet?

Family members can make posts about their loved one's condition while in the hospital.
Also, people can comment on their predicament. So weird. It's the pinacle of the internet disguised as an intimate medium, while being wholely public.

started a new internship today. media design. adequately fun, with enough parts learning. teaching myself html again.
haven't found anything new, so figured i would post OLD STANDBYs:


#1. built by wendy is a long running favorite of mine (and others i'm sure). but woe is the life of a student, and i'll stick to thriftstore shopping and garage sailing.

#2. hope gangloff, illustrator

#3. ok, so let it be known i saw wolf parade this time last year, and they really were tight. and enthusiastic. and they had windchimes. and spencer krug was 3 feet from me, wailing on his keyboard. anyone who is passionate is a favorite of mine. and spencer krug was not immune from this. it doesnt hurt that hes cute.

would i want to stay here for a week? i don't know. but i would certainly stay over, especially because of its "pay as you wish" policy, where you pay what you can.




love of ted leo

and as if i needed more reason to love him (even after his shout out to his mom at the show) my friend sent me this:

greetings from the information super highway


STATEMENT: too many things i find on the interwebs/life/literature from day to day for me to remember it all. so here is what i can remember, when i remind myself to write on here.
DISCLAIMER: i like the idea of the internet as something that is perceived as intimate, however is extremely public. i will do my best to balance this in a way that makes me feel comfortable. or maybe i'll challenge it? i don't know. i'm just saying.
THOUGHT: when did the internet become such a relivant thing? i know it was over time, but at one point people took this powerful tool with a grain of salt. now--(for some) its life.

MYSELF: a current graphic design student at mason gross school of the arts, rutgers university. a love of knitting, sewing, design, sustainability, making art, reading(currently: the lives of lee miller), city planning, maps, running, bikerides. a respect for music, music makers, film makers, vegans, physicists, the passionate, general smartasses.
