Schoolin' Life
As Temples said, "I nearly cracked my neck the first time I heard this song."
...
I'm not a teacher, babe
But I can teach you something
Not a preacher
But we can pray if you wanna
Ain't a doctor
But I can make you feel better
But I'm great at writing physical letters
I'm a freak, all day, all night
Hot, tap, sway
Boy your out of sight
And I'm crazy, all day, all night
Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life

I cannot show you my Europan Boards until December...
pretend there is prettiness with canals and land and water basins and boats and bikes and cars and houses with access to all of it in a Netherlands city's housing district with silhouettes of children flying kites and people walking hand in hand. just picture THAT!
i know...
it's beautiful.

Mrs. Duran Duran
Yasmin Le Bon covers Linea, May 1985
This must be the visual alter I pray on before starting any graphic image. Well, this cover, plus the added desire to percolate the feeling it may have been constructed by a psychopathic-housebound grandmother.
Current(ly) rocking Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, eating Steak&Espresso, reading Buckminster Fuller's Intuition, wearing NoShirt because it's 93 degrees in this piece. Ciao.

I found these little clay "flower pillows" and had to buy one. Its like a hollow clay pillow that can hold water and has several holes to hold flower, stems, etc. Continue

You either whore yourself out to Hugh Heffner, or to Science. We're just not big enough whores yet. We need to start whoring it up. -Lasley & Truman

counting the uncounted, y'all
one week till final review, and it's time to figure out how we got where we got, and where we need to go. the project explores the potentials of mapping an unampped demographic [the homeless] through the lens of GIS. in an attempt to pin down the patterns of a migratory population, we find the census's current procedures for counting transient populations produce numerous discrepancies/inaccuracies. this reveals gis's tendency to concretize the temporal. by working with TINS [relational data sets] and re-inputting new time sensitive data collected about the ameneties relevant to a certain population, GIS can be used to identify LATENT COMMUNITIES.
the drawing shows latent HOTSPOTS, or areas of the city particularly rich with amenities of use to the homeless. the green tin is derived from the amount of time soup kitchens open through the year relative to proximity of vacant parcels in the city. the chartreuse is based on bus route proximity to public parks.
the next step is to clarify what all this means for the way we think about the city in general, as well as what types of urban proposals we might suggest based on our findings.

currently inspired by this group, REVITAL, totally in awe of their thought process/bravery/ease with which they make totally insane projected scenarios seem like truth.
the project above, life support, asks if humans can replace machines like ventilators in order to live symbiotically off of animals. they've got a lot of work and some good videos, you guys should check it out.

collective bloggin' through a ggl doc.date and time NOW.
click the link above to access the document at any time to see who has been chatting about what. you can use the boxes in the spreadsheet to have real-time conversations with whoever is online accessing the document. or, you can respond later to what has been stated previously.the idea is to create a spacial organization for the conversation. As of now, there are no set rules. As you have conversations, you can add new rules or modify existing ones. Just list these decisions within the matrix itself! Even if you have just a couple of minutes to try it out, go for it! It will help a lot with the project!
