Life is like a pencil
Sometimes what you do is smudgy, other times if you sharpen it you see what you do more clearly, other times it's smudgy, like when you have a blunt tip. Other times you use it for other stuff not related to what you do or what you love, and it starts to blunt, wearing out.
So, as Steve Jobs says "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work". -
The Grid System.org
About
Made popular by the International Typographic Style movement and pioneered by legends like Josef Müller-Brockmann and Wim Crouwel, the grid is the foundation of any solid design. The Grid System is an ever-growing resource where graphic designers can learn about grid systems, the golden ratio and baseline grids.

Almost done
Maybe I'll make the surrounding background black.
Almost done :D -
Formica
On a particular moment that I was not behind the computer at work, I noticed that the edges of the formica table I've used for almost two months, has this barely visible extra strip were the vertical and horizontal edges meet. It is barely visible unless you put your face close to the table, which I did.
It has a slightly lighter color than the other parts of the table, apparently it seems to make the table look old when it finally starts to decay by the constant use of the edge, for example by resting the hands there on a daily basis.
Interesting. -

Things that call my attention
Car versus Man.
The car can only use gas to run, if you put something else in it, it won't work.
On the other hand the man is a extraordinarie machine. It can extract energy from thousands of sources.
I heard that people stranded on an island survived the 3 or 4 weeks prior to their rescue solely by eating the coconut flesh and drinking its water.
A neighbor of my mom in her home town managed to live almost 100 years, and his diet was mostly composed of the most basic foods, like corn tortillas and beans.
It can also create energy from sodas, chips, fried food, and almost anything that you throw at it. Of course, with no so pleasant secondary effects. -
Awesome design
Amazing and multi-functional, love the way it changes and how the handles seem to disappear.

The power of 100 wikipedias
Interesting article about the shifting of people preferences. Out goes the TV, in goes internet, and the power of all this mass of people not just consuming, but creating content, worth a read.

Star Wars: Clone Wars
Nice movie, nice characters.
I took a friend's kid to the movies, his mom and dad couldn't find someone to take care of him while they went to a meeting, so I offered myself.
The movie is nice, at the beginning you are offered a small explanation so everything is clear to you from the start. Episode I (and II to a extend) where so busy trying to come up with nice visuals that at times they failed to be clear at what was happening. I found myself trying to find the plot in those two movies. Anyway, back to Clone Wars.
The movie wasn't directed in the regular way, that is, artists working from a storyboard to make a scene, but almost the opposite way. They dropped the storyboard and worked on it thinking globally about scenes, about what characters where doing, and it seems to have worked.
Apparently they took the characters from the Clone Wars animated tv series and turned them to 3d. The result is great, and they introduce a new character, Ahsoka Tano
The character is lovely, apparently they changed her race (good choice) and I think we'll soon start seeing fanfiction using her :P
