The ONLY day where:
Yo MTV Raps was on air
It was a clear and smogless day
Beepers were commercially sold
Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…
“Danish architect Bjarke Ingels rockets through photo/video-mingled stories of his eco-flashy designs. His buildings not only look like nature — they act like nature: blocking the wind, collecting solar energy — and creating stunning views.”
“You might almost think that the whole scheme had been cooked up by a bunch of hyperintelligent but hopelessly socially naive people, and you would not be wrong. Asking computer nerds to design social software is a little bit like hiring a Mormon bartender.”
“That is, I believe in the potential of natural user interfaces (NUIs) to push us toward a new era of computing. NUI principles—such as make content the user interface; enable direct interactions with content not chrome; and reduce visuals that are not content—drive us toward a more direct way of interacting with digital information and media.”
“Animals, for example, range in size over ten orders of magnitude from a shrew to a blue whale. If you plot their metabolic rate against their mass on a log-log graph, you get an absolutely straight line. From mouse to human to elephant, each increase in size requires a proportional increase in energy to maintain it.”
“In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish: love must be proved by facts and not by reasons. What one does is what counts, and not what one has the intention of doing.”
