A Cooler Segway

I love this thing. The Segway Concept Centaur. It's been out since about 2004, but was never really "released." I would ride the shit out of one of these if i could get my hands on one. The versatility of riding styles and positions, together with the speed, stability, maneuverability and fun factor is crazy cool! I bet they're a fortune on the black market...

Troika "Cloud" Sculpture

Digital sculpture is fascinating. The effect it has is mesmerizing. It's rhythmic yet dynamic, cold but simultaneously alive. It reminds me of so many dominos: a continuous, reactionary wave flowing over the surface, engulfing and consuming itself and thereby changing its appearance, only to change again in a new way seconds later. Constant evolution and redefinition.

I wish it had been taken to the next level though. I envision the changing surface to be a reflection of its environment at any given time. Adapting the speed, patterns, and mood of its autonomous movement to external factors such as the ambient noise level, lighting conditions, etc.

The First Word

I just started a new blog. This is it.
You'll find
projects, thoughts, artwork, links, photography, inspiration, science, news, video clips, rants, world view and the like. Like an extra fat snowflake landing at just the right spot high on a mountain slope, this is just the beginning. That seed of creativity will begin to grow and snowball into a dynamic, evolving avalanche of madness. When that avalanche has laid waste to all that stands before it, cutting a wide swath of inspiration into the landscape of those minds that would stand in its path, my work will be done. However, that snowflake, born of a love for all things design, is at the top of a very large mountain.

You'd be wise to bring earmuffs and a flask of the good stuff.
