RISD announced yesterday that John Maeda will be taking over the role of President when Roger Mandle steps down at the end of his school year. Pretty cool! It wasn't the direction I expected the school to take, but considering I've currently got two library books with Maeda's name on the cover checked out for "fun reading," I can't complain.

Check out the great introductory interview with Maeda here. And props to my old team in interactive media, who I am sure produced the video!

As promised, Providence got almost a foot of snow yesterday, which caused havoc all over the place for its speed and timing. Like a good designer, I stayed in studio way too late and ended up having to walk home, in the dark, uphill, without shoes. Well, not the last part, but the rest is the truth! :)

The hill on Waterman street, which is unpleasant on a good day, was truly tortuous. But once I was at the top, the feeling of walking at night in all that snow was really peaceful and beautiful. I took a few photos with the RISD camera I was lugging with me, and they are all up on flickr.

I had two final projects due this morning, but now I am blissfully school-free for the next two and a half weeks!

I just wish it wasn't supposed to hit on the day I have to finish two final projects!

These were being given away in the Graphic Design building this past Friday.
