NASCAR Coach Reveals Winning Strategy: ‘Drive Fast’

Bowie’s in Space

I know you all aren’t as good at driving as I am, so check out relearntodrive.com

It’s part of a BMW campaign done by GSD&M in Austin.

I recently learned that they demolished a part of Fry Street (Denton, TX), a section of bars I would frequent in college, to make way for some big corporate stores. It’s a shame that this place is becoming so commercialized. In some sort of protest, someone set one of the buildings on fire. I came across this video that was taken three days prior to the arson, including the fire about 2/3 of the way through the 17 min video.

When I lived in the Pacific Northwest as a child, the proximity to the ocean was important, and just like Seattle, Vancouver was founded as a very important port city in British Columbia.

The basis for the Vancouver 2010 Branding is the motion of water as told by the tribal inhabitants, the corner stones of the cities history.

The logo takes the tribal abstractions of the motion of water and arranges them in the shape of an olympic flame. The mark also resembles a man dancing, which becomes a basis for the individual sport pictograms.

The background patterns are currents of water in the same abstract tribal style. For the sport banners, green is introduced to denote alpine events, and purple flows through to denote indoor events (is there a better word for that?).

Photo shopped or not?

Incase you haven’t heard about it, Flight of the Conchords is one funny-ass show that just started on HBO. Unfortunately, it’s not on iTunes, so I’ve got to do some searching, but the iTunes store has the first episode free as a podcast.

I’ve stayed up all night organizing my computer. I feel like I’ve got a lot done, though I’ve not change anything in any sort of physically noticeable way.

It was called to my attention that some people aren’t comfortable with how many pictures I take at social events. It did, in fact, get me kicked out of a bar in Milwaukee. I was a photojournalist in high school, and I don’t think I’ve ever really stopped. My only suggestion would be not to do anything you’re ashamed of in public, or learn to be more comfortable with who you are. Life’s to short to live with regrets.

Pictures to come.
