A month want like a flash

I just notice when i posted nook that is has been pretty much a month since i last posted. This month was just gone. I can’t explain it, it just happens, you get sucked into the moment of work and such and BAM disappear.

So to summarize I have switched gears from one job to another. So I will do my best to continue this blog as my own catalog of interesting finds on the web. whether i do one for personal stuff i find, well i rather have a mobile device (and yes as a designer i don’t own an iphone, and yes it is very very attempting. I have my reasons why or why not, but that is a tale for another post.)

But not only did I switched to a new job, I also switched oceans as well as seasons. I lived most of my life in the four seasons of the east coast and now i am in the constant one season of the west coast. It is odd to say that I live with palm trees.

before i was a designer in a consultancy but now i am a corporate ‘specialist’ (yes that word is in my title) dreaming up future technology, so, this blog will still be about random things as usual, but i will try to limit my technology postings.

Enjoy.

As part of an original advertising campaign promoting the agileness of a Toyota car, two typographers Pierre&Damien and a pro-race pilot Stef van Campenhoudt collaborated to design a specific font… with a car.

Solar power bus stations…hmm

just came across this, now lets think for a sec, california is putting them now, sooo east coast will do it in like say.. 8 years? and i am not talking college campuses!

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom recently unveiled the first of 1,100 solar powered bus shelters that will be installed throughout the city between now and 2013. Crowned with a rolling red crest of photovoltaic panels, the shelters will use the sun’s rays to power their intercom, LED lighting, and even wireless routers that will help blanket the city with WiFi goodness. Designed by Lundberg Design and contracted through Clear Channel, the new shelters signal a bright future for solar technology in the Bay Area.
