Behind Closed Drawers
Jon and I finally finished and published the animation we have been working so hard on. Just after we finished shooting it, he moved to Portland. So, it was fairy difficult working through email across the country with syncing up his music and doing the title scene. In away this has become our own little postal service project, with less postal service and more gmail. Gmail is really putting the United States Postal Service out of business.
We created a flash site that showcases the video. You can check out the site at Behind Closed Drawers.
You can also see it right here using youtube.

The most portable computer
Doing it is one thing, but coming up with the idea is pretty impressive. I love how this guy literally transforms his sketchbook into his ideas.

Shapes + Colors
I Came across David Pache. One of those designers that can just blow you away with the simplicity of shapes. I couldn't get past his logo section on his site. With over 50 logos for different companies he is pretty inspiring through his use of shape and color. I love how he designed his site. You click on a silhouette of the logo to bring up the real thing. It is a great lesson of the power of shapes. So simple, yet so powerful.

Introducing Cuppy
I really hope this project turns out as good as we are hoping. It is only a photo album before I put it into final cut though.

Spork-a-licious
My friend Jon and I are working on an animation about eating utensils. The project is looking like it might be more than we can handle, but as jobless as we are we have the time to put the effort into it.

Pay Attention
A little bit ago I started this community blog called Pay Attention. I got the inspiration when I was walking around a state park before it got cold and stumbled onto a leaf hanging in mid air. It seemed it was connected to one fiber of a spider web. It literally appeared to be suspended in the air. A very surreal site. I started wonder how many people have missed this leaf. How many people miss all the moments around them that are unique and inspirational. Then I started to think about how I must pay attention to my surroundings so I don't miss something else like this leaf. That's where the idea came from. A place to collect all the moments you choose to pay attention to.
In the first month of the blog, it seems to be just me and a few others posting. If anyone wants to be part of that, just leave a comment and I'll add you. I think it could be an interesting community. I have an idea to make the banner art into t-shirts and grow this community if it takes off.

The word Infinity is rarely experienced, but the times you really understand it definitely seem surreal. Like pondering how big the universe is, or how small the smallest phenomenon is. The basis of String Theory, understanding the unity of everything in existence through an infinite measure. If you haven't pleased your mind with the headache theory of Strings, then I suggest you watch the PBS Nova special about it. It was made in 2003, and now I wonder what advances have been made. You can find all three parts here.
Today while I was in the bathroom at PRONTO!'s I had one of those surreal experiences we all had at one point, but might not have noticed. When you experience a mirror within a mirror you get to see what infinity looks like. I apologize for my shitty camera phone quality pictures.
Think Make Think
John Maeda wrote some clever and inspiring words. The fact that it is a Haiku can be easily over looked. The Haiku is entitled Think-Make-Think. These are great words. When I first read it I was thinking it was a moment of dyslexia or even a Freudian slip. Something similar along the lines of the "I'm not think as you drunk I am." It only started to hit me when I realized there was a purpose behind it.
