Plain Text

I stumbled upon this bundle papers with a lot plain text today while cleaning up. I sat down, gave up all the cleaning for sometime and read through these papers. These were printouts of everything I had written using 750 words during my Entrepreneurial Design course. I know it's all stored in the cloud somewhere, but I want to hold on to these printed copies as a reminder to tell me how important it is to write. As I read through them, I go about highlighting some gems of ideas, thoughts, and insights I had at that time. Some amazing day to day stories I had written down about work, projects, people at school and life in general. Reading through all this inspired me so much that I decided to just open the blank canvas on 750 words and start writing again.

Design helps to make sense, make sensible, and (nowadays) increasingly make sensorial.

What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen.

In Focus: Grand Central Terminal Turns 100

A century ago, rail travel was at its peak in the U.S., and New York City built the massive Grand Central Terminal to accommodate the growth. Built over 10 years, gradually replacing its predecessor named Grand Central Station, the Grand Central Terminal building officially opened on February 2, 1913. The terminal and the surrounding neighborhood thrived — by 1947, 65 million people a year were traveling through the building. However, in the latter half of the 20th century, rail travel declined sharply, and Grand Central Terminal fell into disrepair, threatened several times with demolition. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority was able to undertake a huge restoration in the 1990s, and Grand Central remains a New York City icon today, 100 years after it first opened.
