You know what to do now: Cut out work at 5. Eat something, if you like, or get a sandwich. Then, head down to Stumbling Monk at 6:30 for a couple of hours of doodling, chatting, swigging, and sipping.
Sounds good?
What, tired from the long weekend? Aw, c’mon!
With today’s heat wave, now it really feels like summer in Seattle.
Actually, it feels like summer on the East Coast.
Humidity. Yuck.
One of the three nice days of the year here in the Space City.
Of course, what am I complaining about, after four years in Ireland.
Still, here’s ‘Release:’
What do you think?
That’s me, by the way.

Is a squirrel a rodent?
Squirrels are so cute, though, right?
But they are. Rodents.
Do you know about nutria?
They look like this:

Our Spring 2008 Kitchen season ended with a lovely easygoing conversation about extruding pixels from the surface of a sphere.
Akira made fried rice.
A week ago, one of our new clients recommended Jim Collins’ Good to Great.
Unless you’re keen to follow a lot of anecdotes about big companies, you don’t really need to buy this book.
This is the gist of Good to Great:

Most of my sketchbooks are graph paper notebooks. With blue lines.
I like the orderliness these grid spaces imply.
The grid is handy, even if it is sort of rooted in Euclidean thinking. Parallel lines never intersect, ha!
Still, I welcome gridded paper. Wouldn’t wanna doodle in hyperbolic space.
Then again… hmm!

This is it, folks.
Dream Kitchen will be taking a break after this one.
Our luncheon-come-casual-coworking (“what the heck is that?”—here’s the wikipedia entry for coworking) sessions have been a lot of fun for sure, but the arrival of summer (why be stuck inside when it’s nice out, especially since our summer is so short?), the impending arrival of the new member of DK team (and all the mayhem that ensues after that, according to many advisers) mean that we need to keep those Fridays open to other activities.
Needless to say, we need to go out with a bang.
So this week, we have lined up our über-genius friend. John Adair (of Biznik fame: he made the freakin’ thing) is a video artist and technology-geek, whose photo show recently focused on the “the most reductive imaging device ever made” (that would be 0.009 mega-pixel Gameboy Camera). In his various visual art pursuits, he effortlessly mixes technology, computer science, moving and still imagery, conceptual art, and his love of cycling and nature to create one-of-a-kind experience. True to his programmer-self, the resulted work, whether it’s digital or analog, always seems to have something to do with interaction.
He’s bringing a bunch of video equipment that he’s working with, and some gadgetry that he recently acquired to share his latest work with us. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
