100 Ways to Wear a Flag

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQ5MTcwMDQ=.html终于看到通哥唱歌了，是暖场，很卖力。照这样唱法，真像亮亮说的，两首就累趴下了。
听说，终于能唱主场了，还是小酒馆，福地，圣地。
都怪地震闹得，不然，早就看你们演出了。拜托成都的兄弟姐妹，多助威了。
什么时候来朝阳公园啊，到时候，我一定发动在天津、北京、唐山的同学去捧场。
其实，还是喜欢听你用不加修饰的声音唱歌。
亮亮说看你们演出会失望的(不要怪亮亮啊，他是好人)，你们很用功，何时能突破的水平呢。
会不会有一天，也被某个唱片公司看中，摇身一变，浮出地下，包装一番，油头粉面地做宣传，出一些不疼不痒的专辑。
通通也开始吼英文了(虽然我不晓得吼的是啥)。
一堆牢骚，还是加油，愿神来之笔，助你们流芳百世。

大家中秋快乐

我是不是也该把拓展的照片发上来了，都一个多月了

 

 

 

 

祝贺各国游泳运动员们取得的好成绩

There was an interesting overlap the other week between Time Out London's cover story, "Swim City," about London's "best pools, ponds and lidos," and Polar Inertia's newest issue featuring beautiful photographs of abandoned swimming pools throughout the greater London area.

"Great pools?" Time Out asked. "From marble-clad baths dripping in history to modern leisure centres echoing with lifeguards' whistles, London is swimming in them."
Except, of course, many of its pools are also drained and forgotten.

The photos here are all by Gigi Cifali, who originally trained as a topographer, from a series called "Absence of Water." The images document the disused pools of London – and there are many more of these photos to be seen over at Polar Inertia or on Cifali's own website.

I'm reminded, though, of a great line from J.G. Ballard's novel Empire of the Sun:

Jim watched Mr. Maxted sway along the tiled verge of the empty swimming pool, curious to see if he would fall in. If Mr. Maxted was always accidentally falling into swimming pools, as indeed he always was, why did he only fall into them when they were filled with water?

Why, indeed.

昨天火炬传过天津了，看到了景樑院长的风姿
今天一个人在办公室加班，心不在焉
玫玫、荣荣，不知你们还在成都吗
艳、小展、玲敏、晓莉，还有郑俊、大C，原谅我吧，没跟你们打招呼就离开成都了

我害怕，不敢告诉你们

对不起大家，自 WAD 开办以后每日一建筑好久没露面了。刚看到一篇超囧的，马上 post 过来吧 :P

Type the Sky by Lisa Rienermann is an alphabet formed of shapes buildings make against the sky when photographed from below.

According to the original post on German typographic blog Slanted (we spotted it on designboom), the alphabet was created by Rienermann while studying at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

“It began with the Q,” she tells Slanted. “I was in a kind of courtyard in Barcelona. I looked upward and saw houses, the blue sky and clouds. The more I looked, I saw that the houses formed a letter Q.”

The following is translated from Slanted’s original German: “She then set out to find more letterforms, spending weeks only looking upwards. The more difficult letters such as Q and K were the easiest to find, she says, but admits that PhotoShop helped here and there.”

The alphabet was presented in a booklet contained in a box (we think, our German isn’t so good).

惠普全球游戏业务部的首席技术官Rahul Sood 近日在自己的Blog 上刊登了一张照片。照片中Sood 身穿HP 体恤，手里正拿着一台苹果超薄笔记本Mac Book Air 切蛋糕。这张对于普通人来说再平常不过的照片，现身网络后立马引起了网友们热血沸腾的讨论(主要关于HP和Apple 想也想得到吧)。

Sood 在自己Blog 上已经表示他自己也是个Apple Fans ，觉得用MBA 切蛋糕只是一个有趣的玩笑。

煎蛋终极问题办事处提问：用笔记本(不一定非要MBA)切蛋糕会不会成为以后各大IT企业庆祝的新方式

不过，真的，好薄阿

又是某种设计

Milan 08: Spanish designer Nacho Carbonell exhibited his Evolution chairs at Spazio Rossana Orlandi.

The collection includes three seats made from paper mache with chicken-wire frames: a chair with a cave-like bulge that a person can climb inside for contemplation (above); a public bench with a chamber at one end for an individual to escape into (top image); and a lovers seat to allow for both public and private behaviour between a couple (below).

Watch a video about the making of the chairs here.
