3 national parks visited, 55 to go. Its 4 down, 54 to go. Michele corrected me. We have been to:
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Joshua Tree National Park
Sequoia National Park
Yosemite National Park
and Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park – but that one is not in the list of 58 that I am working against.
Check out a ton of photos from our recent Sequoia trip over at the flickr site.
“…But like anything in design, restrictions are necessary. Otherwise I’d be an artist.”
From this interview with designer Erik Spiekermann.
I am always interested in those designers who acknowledge the differences between art and design, especially since so many architects and other designers would like to believe that there is none and they are artists rather than designers.
The first rule of Travel by Helicopter, is don’t talk about Travel by Helicopter.
Two more short videos for ya.

You got that?
I have been looking around half-assedly for a new car these days, as mine at 16 years is nearing the end of its useful life (at least for me). Major draws for me are style, power, and MPGs, though not always in that order. Given that, VW’s new concept car, which will go into limited production for 2010, hits all three with an emphasis on the MPG part. 282 to be precise. They are doing a hell of a job dethroning Toyota as the most fuel-efficient car maker. Plus, I still think the Prius is butt-ugly and apparently drives like a golf cart.
If, like me, you can’t wait until 2010 to pay over 30 grand for a two seater, then check out the upcoming Jetta diesel with a rumored 60 mpg on the highway. Its lacking in the style category, but making up for it with mileage.
This past weekend we went down to San Diego and La Jolla, where I captured some more 60 Second videos.
The first one here is a survivor from a swarm of bees we hit doing 75 on the 5 freeway. I can’t believe it hung on until San Diego. The second is flags hung from the tower of the USS Midway aircraft carrier museum.

A friend of mine found this link for me, it’s a collection of photos from a RISD grad from 1976. 32 years ago, and the City has definitely changed a lot in that time. It’s pretty great. Now, of course, I will have to recreate some of these locations and do a Before and After. Like I don’t have enough to do…
