Flavor, Distilled

Once again an alcohol-related 2x2 sneaks up on me.

Beer Matrix

A spirited surprise seen overhead at one of my favorite Shibuya spots for a meal and a beer.

The chewing of our jaws at the noisy bars of our choosing.

My favorite.

From a (now) long ago time and not so far away place. It’s very good to be around very good and goofy people. Thanks, David Ngo, for hanging on to this.

Fatherly.

Wow: Scott Doorley is #90 on Fatherly Magazine’s ranking of “100 Coolest Dad in America.” Well-deserved! No. 88 is Johnny Knoxville. No. 89 is Mark Mothersbaugh... confusing nomenclature.

Same as before, but different.

Design process

Restarting (with) a classic @ 45°: the quintessential quad in design circles that at some point seemed to shift from David Kolb’s model of experiential learning to Charles Owen’s expression of design behavior. The graphic is shown in similar form for both but the use is fundamentally different: Kolb’s uses a clockwise progression from “concrete” at 12 o’clock position and rotates to observations at 3 o’clock. The rest goes from there. Owen’s treatment uses “analysis” and “synthesis” in place of “reflective observation” and “active experimentation,” respectively. (Neither of those makes sense with the skew shown.)

Take on a project or not?

Have been challenged with 3 pro bono things lately. Working through this. Also have a third (Z) axis of: high social impact — social detriment.

Creative work

The landscape of realizing creative work. Triggered by a truism shared by director & filmmaker, Frazer Bradshaw, "Every overnight success takes 10 years."

Design Do : Design Teach

(Adapted from) a well-crafted consideration from designer & researcher, Adam Royalty.

Sleazy : Vulgar

Low & high hanging fruit and how they fall on the sleazy / vulgar axes. A quintessential treatment by superb designer, Tom Maiorana.
