ExtraI've benefited from the following thoughts and matter this month, and I think you will too:I shared this video on how to draw by Lynda Barry with my Capstone students. I think it's connected to designing from your gut (see post above). I can't explain it, but using my hands, rather than a keyboard or mouse, to write and draw always leads to good things. This Ted talk by Manoush Zomorodi will make you want to take more walks and carry your phone less. She calls us to be "bored" more often because that's where creativity happens. Semi-related to the article above, "The world needs a tech diet; here is how designers can help" is a lovely micro-site about what designers can do to design things that don't demand peoples attention so much. Thanks to Seth for the share. A cookbook of subversive printing techniques - need I say more? Thanks to Korina for the share. Seek is a fun app that helps you identify flora and fauna (while contributing to a massive worldwide database). It using magic to recognize plants and animals through your phone's camera. Lastly, I'm happy to know that somebody spends their days looking for stones that look like letters.
