“Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources...”
– Stevenson and Sahlman (via 8226)
WatchQuick assignment for prototyping class, the intent was to make a mockup of a clock and a short video showing how it works.
A whimsy take on an alarm clock that exchanges riddles and other sentiments between two friends.
I know, its super kitschy.

Empathy is understanding
I have been singing (quite badly) The Decemberists songs on my way home lately. I walk a short half mile from the G, which at night is empty and would be perhaps a bit lonesome if I actually knew any neighbors to miss. Evening classes result in an evening commute, and there I am stepping onto the platform, sometimes the sole passenger of a car. “Eli the Barrow Boy” seems appropriate...

Regaining Routines
Today I realized there is this wonderful 90 minutes of my day where I am technology free. I am not attentive to the buzzing of my phone, a friend’s twitter status, or the constant mass group emails my studio mates seem to be so fond of dispensing. I am not even free in my sleep, as I have dreamed of writing emails and pushing pixels.
But for 90 minutes of my day I am focused completely on...

Museum Notes
So for our Research Methods course (a “half” course at only 7 wks) we’re developing a mobile app for the Metropolitan (yay!). Last Sunday I took a few hours to visit and just do some general observations, as I’ve never actually been to the museum. I found some of my off-hand scribbles were almost poetic? Because sometimes my own note-taking humors me, I’m going to...

“A map of New York City and 500 feet of yarn propelled four grad students to compete for the King of Two Wheels title. The SVA IxD studio hosted a one week bike challenge to encourage biking for transportation in the city.”

WatchThis is a video that introduces our project, an interactive mockup which you can find here. Thanks to the amazing Tash & Tom my group-mates, who really made this work! (no, really they made it functional) I’ll write up more in a bit, because the website doesn’t even show the working email that was done!

Metropolis Love
My move to New York has been more of confirmations than surprises. It is a city full of things I love. Subways, bike lanes, fruit stands, European chocolates at Bodega counters, are all things that endear me to a metropolis. This city abounds with them at a density I haven’t experienced before. So it has been a series of confirmations of things I enjoy, and less of surprising me with new....
Stand Clear of the Closing Doors
viafrank:
Each time one hears, “Stand clear of the closing doors,” a tiny social experiment begins. The regular subway passengers plug in, look at screens, stare at the ground; the tourists scan the maps, crouch down to read the stop names that are blazoned across the pillars as each platform rolls by. Occasionally, their face will slacken into a distressed, wide-eyed “Oh Jesus, what-the-eff”...

I called Sam and asked him if he wanted to come to dinner but he said he had softball practice and I said that was a damned shame and hung up. When I got to Sun City Bea and Rob were at were at the bar, behind tattooed women and men with guitars. They were sitting in the shade and their beers were...
