It feels remarkable to have a new president of the United States of America. Congratulations to President Barack Obama and best of luck with bringing about change, we will be there with you along the way. Thank you Mr. President.
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Josh Silver, a british professor and inventor has created a pair of eyeglasses with lenses filled with water. The strength of the glasses can be changed by the wearer, making them easy to use by anybody. These water-based glasses were discovered through this Core77 article that I came across..
Silver has devised a pair of glasses which rely on the principle that the fatter a lens the more powerful it becomes. Inside the device’s tough plastic lenses are two clear circular sacs filled with fluid, each of which is connected to a small syringe attached to either arm of the spectacles.
The wearer adjusts a dial on the syringe to add or reduce amount of fluid in the membrane, thus changing the power of the lens. When the wearer is happy with the strength of each lens the membrane is sealed by twisting a small screw, and the syringes removed. The principle is so simple, the team has discovered, that with very little guidance people are perfectly capable of creating glasses to their own prescription.
Art of Music looks like a very interesting show that features the works of art that are connected with works of music.

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year. Thanks to everyone who made life beautiful. This year I will learn, grow, explore, create, and love more. Go forth and explore the new year.
This book is brilliant. How to Be an Explorer of the World takes the reader on a journey by providing a collection of “explorations” which the book challenges you to do. The book is well designed using only white, black, and orange and shows you how to document the interesting things that are always around us. Keri Smith has created a very interesting book that is well worth your exploration.

I recieved this book, Over and Over, for Christmas this year and I couldn’t have been more pleased with it. I knew it was in the box when I opened it and with much anticipation I found “a catalog of hand-drawn patterns” which is exactly what this book is. It is quite a diverse collection of patterns with many different styles presented providing a wonderful viewing experience. Well done Mike Perry.
