A small design shop in the Netherlands called Scherpontwerp designed their studio space out of honeycomb cardboard boxes. They coated the cardboard with inflammable sealant before building the walls. REALLY cool. Here’s a pic.
A clip from the debates last night. Why do Romney and McCain have the “this guys an idiot” smirk on their face every time he talks?
After several months of rocking the fohawk, I decided to go for more of a poindexter look. “Who cares” you ask? Me cause it’s my head and my wife who thinks it’s hot. Of course, I could rock a mullet and she still wouldn’t be able to resist my sexy, non-stop, fembot destroying mojo.
You know, all those wealthy, former Google employees that cashed in their stock options to start their own companies. Kinda interesting…

My boss and I had this exact same conversation while on a road trip to Las Cruces last week. The more I read Milton Friedman the more I see the urgent need to promote free market activities and reduce government involvement. As a result, I am a HUGE (repeat HUGE) fan of Romney’s economic stimulus package. As a good friend of mine from the east coast told me two days ago: “You want to stimulate the economy?! Stop taking 38% of my money in tax! If tax had only been 20% the last two years I could have bought a townhouse on the beach!”
Obviously, the end goal is not a townhouse on the beach, but rather to let consumers decide where they want to spend their money instead of the government telling them where to spend it. I fear that if we don’t reverse course very soon, America is closer than we think to slipping into socialism. A bit over-the-top maybe, but valid enough to warrant legitimate concern.
FYI - I like Ron Paul’s fiscal policy even more than Romney’s (which I guess would make me a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE fan of Paul’s plan) but considering that Paul is struggling in his bid for the nomination it’s more pragmatic for me to back Romney’s plan.

I reversed course and was able to win the battle against the gradients. Check it out here and let me know what you think.
I’m failing miserably at my self-imposed “no gradients challenge.” Thought you might like to know.
As much as I hate the hype and crappy content aspect of the internet, I love the fact that it allows people to brainstorm and market very innovative services. Take 23andMe for instance. You send them spit and they send you your DNA profile. Pretty cool.
