What are some convos & ideas about how to pivot/ adjust, in light of this taking some art & design jerbs? Something that makes me not fear so much is: corporations and brands are still going to need artistically minded folks to

I concur. Even amongst buddies, colleagues, acquaintances, yada yada, those who insinuate that something is easy to do are often times insulated from the process/ grind, have little to no experience in the work, and/or are in posi

That's how I felt about the Rothko color wash paintings. Not gonna say the prestige around them (aka, the dollar valuations that contribute to the hype surrounding those works) didn't influence me. I'm sure it does on some le

I like this quote: In this sense, Setiya believes, “Midlife” is about middle age, but middle age just represents a more acute stage of existential insecurity that is always present. Makes me wonder, what does existential security look like,

This looks so, so good. I'm weak to all things minimal + chic. This looks like a mini mech keyboard done by Teenage Engineering, in the best kinda way. I'm not saying it looks derivative, but I wouldn't be surprised if they s

That's a hilarious anecdote. I kinda wish when he called you, he was staring right at your window where you were observing his bald faced lie through your binoculars. I might watch a short series based on food delivery folks, customers

That's how I feel about bikes. I like that enthusiasts get the really nice fancypants stuff. But if I'm gonna be doing my own maintenance, and riding for durability along with functionality, then the lower end stuff ends up being

I am absolutely of this school of thought. So many forms of art don't need to be hi-fi, latest & greatest, "realistic," or only conform to the "acceptable" trends of the times. I think even as a kid, some videog

to be fair, Henry Cavill looked even weirder with his CGI-removed "shaved" face as well. they should have made a movie about the behind the scenes debate on this matter. execs, the star, the VFX team, and the final reception. coul

As much as I love advances in tech & art & visuals, I'm also getting pretty tired of live-action films that are basically computer generated. It has a certain look to it, too clean & precise & shiny, even as they indust

Not trying to be a luddite and/or vehemently defend the noble profession of nuanced graphic design, BUT... Those iterations suck. I'm not worried for my colleagues and I. That being said! Many, MANY clients have questionable taste

I used to feel super awkward about celebrating my own birthday. For a good while I just avoided celebrating it. Now I've decided to get pizza and beer, and share it with family. It was short and sweet. Might switch things up from time

Maybe I'm being overly cautious. But just some risks to consider if you're gonna try this for the purposes of getting a look behind the scenes: Some film sets with union folks can get very particular about who touches what. But ma

Just to share some differences in preferences: I've walked a ton. Run a bunch. And now cycle. Cycling feels like free energy, way more flowy, and far more engaging, like it's a videogame, in the sense that I'm constantly maki

I like that this is a tradition, and I would like to become a member of this party. Anti-Disney, but many, many, maaaaaaany other options for things way more interactive, engaging, interesting, etc.

An oversimplified take on the distinction between art vs. design: Design seems to be about getting users/ consumers to behave in a certain way, or utilize what you made for a specific end. Art seems to be about the artist expressing so

Thank you for the reply. I'll def poke my head around in the things you pointed to, not that I would be able to understand much. I'll be frank: I don't necessarily see how owning digital artifacts is what younger folks are se

You don't have to field this Q, as it seems fairly large. But perhaps you could point me to some sources of info (and if not, all good). Basically, I'm super skeptical, and anyone who claims there will be use-cases often don'

I've worked in small and big design shops. When done right, the process should make sense to a layperson, like you're respecting their intelligence. This Pepsi rebrand farce feels more like The Emperor's New Clothes. My guess

I was dating this one person who works in fashion. All my clothes are neutral basics, so I can just wear whatever on any given day and look similar but vaguely different. Said person picked up on my entire wardrobe once noticing I started r

there was some article from New Yorker or NYTimes – with a quick google search I can't seem to find it at the moment. but the thesis was basically: sports wear has often influenced mainstream fashion since even like 100 years ago. but

one more drop in the uniqlo bucket. i liked the free hemming on their jeans. and overall one-stop-shop for basics. but jeans and shorts wouldn't last for a year in the seams. Even their pockets and buttons above the zippers would fail.

When I'd do distance running training, anywhere from 30-50 miles a week, my appetite didn't necessarily increase/ decrease. When I switched over to cycling, anywhere from 150-250 miles a week, my appetite went through the roo

Curious, but what's your take on what this foundation is, functionally speaking? Is it indeed a decentralized financial alternative that will address the current woes of tradfi? Or is it something else? Or is it, again in your opinion,

Same. Those scenarios point to more of a "meaning of life" and "reason behind it all" types of scenarios, assuming that the message-deliverer is trustworthy/ accurate. Knowing such weighty matters might heavily shif

Aren't Goog/ Ama/ Fbook known for swallowing up smaller companies who might be potential threats/ competitors, and "kill them off" via this method? Seems like it's common practice for such entities.

I don't ride mopeds/ scooters/ motorcycles. I've done a couple of cross country road trips. I do cycle pretty much every day for fitness, fun, and challenging myself. But just like you did, I kinda feel like cross countr
