June 2008
Basically, I have two studios.
One is bright, pleasant with sun, has a kitchen and a styling/dressing room. I can hear the birds out there.
The other one is cold and in the shade. It is the studio where I work in front of my computer.
I did this on purpose when I planned the place, but I didn’t know summer would turn into winter while I worked?! At least the two are really close together and the rooms are never shut off...

Have not done one since exactly a year ago, which is pretty retarded of me when there is so much material waiting.
I installed RescueTime (found via mindsink) to monitor my other activities. Wish me luck.
MacriPark
Instead of going to school, I did this project in NY in 2006 (it was finished by the workers in 2007). My job was a commissioned wallpaper for this bar called MacriPark – working title Union Bar – because it is located at 462 Union Ave in Brooklyn (Williamsburg, L-Lorimer/G-Grand stops).
This PDF on Issuu is there to explain the whole thing; and it helped me get the design school...

a critical article about ffffound (etc.), in German.
(Thanks, Sebastian)
I stopped using ffffound after only a day or so, for exactly that feeling.
Since this morning.
Sounds exactly as if there were Police (Stasi?) in the apartment underneath me. I can hear communication via some radio devices etc.
If I weren’t sure that I am crime-free, I would be scared. Maybe I should be scared about living in a house where… err whatever.
Today is such a mundane day and I didn’t feel very good all day.

I had a dream
that my temporary Blackberry had three different LEDs on its back that signal whether you have an appointment within the next 15 min, the next hr, or some time today by lighting up in the appropriate order or combination.
I also noticed that it looks like a suit!

It has been wrong so many times, especially in the irreversible printed matter, that these people should be fairly well-known by now.

Someone asked why I developed this style
to matte, less-ranging tonal value.

I liked the email I got, it explained the impression this person had, at the same time seriously wondering why I am doing this.
He is right, I have done it, for about 1 year now. Time for myself to put into words why, because I never have articulated it in written form…

I was able get beyond them, it only took 6 phone calls and a distance aquaintance with a Telekom Shop employee. (It is funny how Apple + Telekom think they can change laws to how they would like it to be, anyway.)
Turns out there is no iPhone left in this country to give me.
My friends already laugh about my misfortune with … things in general.
