If you are managing a hotel, design thinking can help you to rethink the very nature of hospitality. If you are working with a philanthropic agency, design thinking can help you grasp the needs of the people you are trying to serve. If you are a venture capitalist, design thinking can help you peer into the future.
Tim Brown, Change By Design
Although he was the engineer’s engineer, (Isambard Kingdom) Brunel was not solely interested in the technology behind his creations. While considering the design of the (Great Western Railway) system, he insisted upon the flattest possible gradient because he wanted passengers to have the sense of 'floating across the countryside.' He constructed bridges, viaducts, cuttings and tunnels all in the cause of creating not just efficient transportation but the best possible experience. (...) In every one of his great projects, Brunel displayed a remarkable—and remarkably prescient—talent for balancing technical, commercial, and human considerations. He was not just a great engineer or gifted designer; Isambard Kingdom Brunel was one of the earliest examples of a design thinker.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
~ WASHINGTON IRVING
rest in peace Liza
This is beautiful!
Lyle Owerko: The Samburu Tribe
Living in a remote part of Africa the Samburu tribe has been cut off from most of Western civilization up until about 10 years ago when inter-tribal fighting began to subside and the Norther Territory of Kenya was opened up to travellers. Easily one of the most fascinating groups of people I’ve ever encountered, the Samburu are a prideful people who consult the stars for spiritual guidance, all while maintaining a warrior culture that is equal parts fierce and gentle. Known locally as ‘the butterfly people’ the samburu are rumored to be a lost legion of Roman soldiers and cousins to the Maasai. This series of portraits represents a small slice of a larger project documenting the Samburu as they assimilate into a life of increasing influence from technology and western values.
Vicarious Vitamix -- Green Smoothie #2
Two apples, a very ripe banana, a few fresh kale leaves, ginger, and some plain water. If it were summer, I'd throw in a few ice cubes. Delicious, and enough for two huge servings!
Vicarious Vitamix - My First Green Smoothie
My first concoction, inspired by my desire for an apple/carrot/ginger fresh juice, and the reality of the ingredients at hand. It ended up being a delicious green smoothie with a tang and some banana-induced sweetness.
I started with Vitamix's obligatory 1/4 cup of water, added a large apple (organic, quartered, seeded), some leaves of organic green/Swiss chard, a quarter of a lime (peeled), and a healthy piece of peeled ginger. Whooshed it all up, tasted it, found it lacking in all except its gorgeous green-ness -- so, added a peeled banana, about another 1/4 cup of water, and a handful of pomegranate seeds.
The additional ingredients added a dullness to the color, but gave depth and just the right amount of sweetness to the flavor.
PS: There's no picture of the actual smoothie as I drank it before I thought to post about it!
Exquisite photograph, exquisite subject... from a photographer I just discovered via Pinterest, John Kenny.
I love this collage by Troy Dugas. Beautiful, original, brilliant work.
