April 2004 ArchiveSunday, April 25, 2004Page 23, Sentence 5I'm not much of a meme monster, but here's what happened with the "page 23, sentence 5" meme just now, "caught" by Me3dia. Grab the nearest book - Henry Dreyfuss, Symbol Sourcebook: An Authoritative Guide to International Graphic Symbols Open to page 23 - contains symbols for postal communications, transportation, motorists, theaters, etc. Find the 5th sentence - "Other symbol combinations in all fields of human endeavour, as coomerce, banking, shipping, customs, menucards, shows, stores, ambulances, hospitals, as well in all industries and all sciences, including philosphy, religion and even poetry, are all illustrated in the large chapters of my book." That's one heckuva sentence and he's describing his own book there. It is an impressive collection. posted on 4/25/2004 05:48:14 PM Saturday, April 24, 2004*Psst*All the action is over here as I start my 24 Hour Comic momentarily... posted on 4/24/2004 04:00:13 PM Monday, April 19, 2004Animus VideographiaHoly Moley! I met fellow museum-head* Mark at the flotilla. Soon we were talking about museums and graphic facilitation and visual communication. Generally geeking out about things smart and visual. Late in the conversation he said, "I know a site right up your alley! Video footage of animals...taken by animals." I laughed really hard. Then I eagerly awaited the link - Animal Vegetable Video This makes me darn happy. You should investigate. *Mark's the head curator at the Museum of Science and Industry. So, he's truly a museum-head. I'm one in my heart, not by title. posted on 4/19/2004 04:31:36 PM Saturday, April 17, 2004
Ouch! Left: I scratched myself on my new Rolykit I won off of eBay to hold my Playmobil people collection. I was very compulsively sorting out my stuff to fit all of my pieces in one large Rolykit. It was late, a corner was sharp. It's not a bad scratch really, just distracting on the outside of my right forearm. I'm impressed by how gross the photo looks, not the 2" scratch itself, but the unending field of skin. Right: My first day outside and I break my number one rule - Don't get sunburned. I was on the Chicago River this afternoon. Guess which direction I was facing. And the strange shape is because of the necklace I was wearing. I feel hot and sleepy and I'm eminating heat like a space heater. That'll smarten me up into carrying sunscreen for the rest of the season. I'm not woefully accident prone or anything - just two red inducing incidents back to back. Things are going swimmingly otherwise. And the minor injuries are good at reminding me that I'm not just a brain in a jar. posted on 4/17/2004 10:09:59 PM Friday, April 16, 2004What Am I, Thirteen?Wednesday morning, I woke up with a zit on my nose. Not on the tip of my nose, teen sitcom style, but higher up right at the point where the nose goes from bone to bump. And man it hurt. This morning, I woke up exhausted. Why? Because I ate half-priced Peeps and other Easter candy for dinner last night. Way to go. Actually, it's been a darn good week. I spent two days doing graphic facilitation work in Boston. Boston is my second favorite city, and I haven't been there since 1999. Sadly, it was rain, rain, rain the whole darn time. Still, it was good work for good people. Besides that, things have been going smoothly. And tomorrow a big adventure! posted on 4/16/2004 03:22:45 PM Wednesday, April 07, 2004So confused!I finally turned off the overhead lights because it's daylight again. I guess I'm in for the long haul now. posted on 4/7/2004 07:48:51 AM Tuesday, April 06, 2004ROLYKIT!!!Jesus F-in Christ! I swear I just spent over an hour searching, trying to figure what the frickin' frackin' world the frickin' frackin' Rolykit was called. I searched black, plastic, octagon, octagonal, case, container, roll, roll-up, rolls up, organizer, blah-de-blah blah! All that because I had it in my head that it's the perfect organizer for my Playmobil people collection. Sheesh. posted on 4/6/2004 11:55:39 PM |
