Moving house

Intel­lec­tu­al­ly rather than phys­i­cal­ly. That is. 

It no longer makes sense to have two blogs. 

All the tech/info design/geeky stuff that I’ve been involved in the past three months has been tied to my art, Jim’s pho­tographs, or the small bits of the web for which I am the cus­to­di­an. Mak­ing it most rel­e­vant to my more “artis­tic” blog and leav­ing lit­tle to post here.

Fur­ther adven­tures of the mag­pie can found at the site of her alter ego ms. shoes.

Cooking and Design

John Mae­da is one of my heroes. He’s tak­ing a new job at RISD in June. In one of his blog posts at our.risd.org he had this to say:

Also, some of the best artists and design­ers are great cooks. There is some­thing to cook­ing that is not only inher­ent­ly inven­tive, but also exem­pli­fies the very nature of unselfish giv­ing from the heart. What you could eat your­self, you choose to give to anoth­er as the most mean­ing­ful sus­te­nance for survival.
