TED Talks: Rives: A 3-minute story of mixed emoticons

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/rives_tells_a_story_of_mixed_emoticons.html

Actually quite a sad story told by the means of emoticons . I honestly could not get the whole thing just by looking at the written story So Rives’ commentary was really needed.

Enjoy

TED Talks: David Carson: Design, discovery and humor

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/david_carson_on_design.html

David Carson talks about the design in our lives and brings up quite a few interesting and humorous issues, and since we were dealing with the design in the last lab I thought this might be very interesting…
As I’ve watched this, and I’ve watched this 4 times(yes an hour<_<) I kept stumbling across a few quotes that I could not help but write down…

Carson talks a little bit about his book where he discusses some of Marshal McLuhan’s quotes that were never published. Sometimes that really makes me think, how did he(McLuhan) know all of this? How could he predict that so many things will happen ahead of time…

“I hate this stuff its hard to read…”

Another quote to celebrate progressive engineering thinking:

“…Fixed the bomb shelter with the duck tape… and I think I’m ready.”

See if you find this one: “If the cigarette companies can lie, so can we.” That is the second line on a poster in NY, the first one I wont write as its much more fun to see it on the poster in the video.

His as for Microsoft was changed in Germany, which he found quite amusing: “If you’re gonna put a kid in the ad, pick one that looks alive.”

He also talks about the People Magazine and their 911 issue. Thinking of bad design… quite a few things to think about.

Carson also shows off his desktop and the way he’s organized his records… “Somebody told me today there’s this thing called folders. But I dont know…”

He also makes a really nice comparison of font faces to the test piloting… haha, hmmm…. Serif….

As I said,I’ve watched this video 4 times and going to fave it for the future references… actually going to see if I can download it It really worth cheching out.

Explosions Starve Black Holes

Some new thought about the Black Holes, a bit contradictive maybe.  According to the article, black holes stay relatively idle until something big happens, like a star going supernova… and that makes them hungryyyy….
Haha, liked a quote: “Eventually gravity wins.”
