  1. Just shipped. Decided to go with Ground because the next best option, which was get it there by Thursday, was $80. -_-. My box weighs 11lbs. Come at me bros.

  2. Cited and fined, didn't know that.

    But why shouldn't we use 'architecture' to describe constructed intangible space? The social 'sciences' didn't appropriate the latter word just to seem grand, they did so only to accurately reflect their use of ideas previously thought to be the domain of the natural sciences. Speaking of 'designing' regulatory matrices and building network 'architectures' seems to be a useful metaphorical way of borrowing language to reflect the changing nature of one's task.

    I too don't find the use of 'architect' or 'architecture' outside of the field that agreeable. I think it's more of a personal thing. It's like getting the title without any of the work. Even now I wouldn't call myself an architect even though I'm pretty deep into the study and fully expect to enter the field. It just doesn't seem fair in my mind. But as you said, it does and should make sense to use the term to describe a certain framework that keeps a system together...But It still seems a little out of place though.

  3. cosgrove - why don you pull a bitch move by coming in around the time you present. that way you dont have to stay 'till the end you and you get more sleep. win win

  4. 2 things:

    1. I hate people who leave after crits. If we have a 8 hr crit. And you just so happen to be first. Leaving to go home is THE biggest bitch move. If I have to stay the whole fucking time because I'm presenting last, then you better fucking stay asshole. Sooooo lame.

    2. I can't get over my obsession with Junya Ishigami. Dude is so tight. Saw a lecture by him about 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. Really interesting stuff, especially from a tech standpoint, which is the best. Like that metal table?! And that 1-ton balloon?! So dope! Not to mention he does great drawings. He showed a video of the table, apparently its so thin that when you touch it, it ripples slightly. Wish I could find a video. He also had a video of the balloon where a little 2 year old walks up and lifts it over her head. So based.
