they said what...
found some quotes from a few designers and innovative people I admire.
Thomas Edison-
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Charles Eames-
Recognizing the need is the primary condition for design
Frank Loyd Wright-
A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.
Henry Ford-
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe-
True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure us of our material life, our values make possible our spiritual life.
Dalai Lama-
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

“And the last shall be first”
Those are the words engraved on a cigarette box John F. Kennedy gave to his younger brother Ted Kennedy in 1961. Looking back now there was a lot of truth to that quote.
Due to the fact that my father is a former New Englander, the Kennedy’s were popular in our household. My father taught me lessons about overcoming life’s obstacles. I think Ted had a few hurdles of his own. With the untimely passing of his three older brothers, Ted took it upon himself to carry on the vision of creating an equal and fair society.
Yes, Ted Kennedy made a few mistakes in his lifetime, but I believe in the end his work for the poor, sick, and underprivileged has proven to his greatest legacy.
He will be missed.

Dream Cruise '09
Here in the D there's an event every year in August called the Woodward Dream Crusie. It started back in '94 as a tribute to Woodward Ave., but today it has turned into the world's largest one-day event in the world. This year seemed to be a little smaller than normal but was still a good time. If you love cars you'll love coming to this. Enjoy the pics!!
Like chrome.....
On a sunny day it's great to see these classics with all the reflections on the surface and chrome.

Objectified
Came across this trailer for the movie 'Objectified'. Pretty cool. Can't wait to see the whole film.
From the same director who produced Helvetica, Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our relationship to manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It's a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It's about industrial designers, the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
