I picked up a rounded corner hole puncher and have been going crazy with it. Every piece of paper in my grasp now has its corners rounded. There are two setting options. Small round and large round. i love hearing the punching sound it makes when it creates a cut. Its also very ergonomic. Good job to the folks at Fiskars. I’m now a fan. Looks like they also make preforated trimmers. That could come in handy.

I put together a new photo setup today. It works good for photographing portfolio work or small products. I spoke with a photography friend who also taught at the academy. I was really digging how their portfolio photos were always looking professional so he gave me some advice on how to build a better setup. Right now I’m at 600 watts and I hope to reach at least 1000. I also built a reflector to help bounce off light.

Got in contact with Nylon yesterday. I am trying to see if they could review some products and give us a good mention in their News Section.We well be sending them a promo package. What would go in a promo package?

Hoodie sample, onesie sample, tee sample
linesheet
stickers
postcards

That would be the basic package, but we need something that really sells the brand. That tells the New Skool story. That makes them think “ok motherfucker we gotta do business because this shit you just sent me just blew my mind!” I’ll have to keep digging on that.

They definitely have there own style of design and photography that speaks “Nylon”. I would have to say the designs over at Mini & Maximus is a lot similar.

This ha gotta be one of the coolest cabins I’ve ever seen. I’ll hav eto try and find out more about who designed this. Check out that window/garage door? its opens the whole living area and brings the entire lake indoors. I saw this in a BMW magazine while back and I’m surprised to find out this cabin is in Idaho of all places! Shit Jquery on my blog is all screwy. Its late so I’ll look into it tomorrow.

New font! Inspired in the sweet letters of calligraphy and typography masters of our past; such as Didot, Bodoni and the incredible Herb Lubalin, its aim was to incorporate the decorative accolades from blackletter and copperplate styles of calligraphy into a Modern Roman typeface. User’s guide

Reina reflects sovereignty due to the enveloping atmosphere and the sensation of greatness that can be felt when using it. It has an unique way of standing over paper and screen, being its swashes responsible of an extreme elegance.

Ran into a road block installing CS5 on my PC. Looks like I need to add more RAM. This is all new territory for me since I don’t really know anything about computer hardware. I never actually had to look under the hood of this computer but its coming close to that time where i need an upgrade.

Did some research on printer ink today. I’m gonna try and print some designs with refillable ink on a old hp printer. i found out that ink is either pigment or dye based. supposedly pigment is better for longevity but dye based inks have better colors. I will have to experiment on that.

A side goal of mine is to reach 1000 push ups a day. lets just say i have a long way to go but I’m determined! Plus I’m putting into effect a punishment/reward system to keep me on track.

Check out this house! Really great concept and symbolic meaning.

"The House acts as a psychological ecosystem where internet era
social  practices coexist with infrastructural references and
a history of  natural disasters. The residents enjoy total
privacy together with total  exposure, a day on the beach and
a night in the cave, the entire city  of Los Angeles abbreviated
like a Twitter post inside the limits of  their property."

It just makes the design that much better. Just read it! Here
