Not dead yet!

In the last month I’ve been quietly working to resur­rect my blog. It is the Ongoing Effort, after all! Moving to a new city and starting a new career have left me with more options than I know what to do with on this site, so I’m still … Read More

Gearing up!

We installed our work in the conven­tion center yesterday, part of a series of prepa­ra­tions in antic­i­pa­tion of the Graduate Thesis show that will open this Thursday. I set up a camera and tripod and made a couple makeshift videos of the event!

Spring Break!

Well, its finally Spring Break here at RISD. My last spring break for the fore­see­able future, unless I become a professor some­where! Thesis year people are “strongly encour­aged” to stay in town for the week, which really means there will be hell to pay if we attempt … Read More

Snow Day

School is cancelled today because of the 8 – 12 inches of snow we’re supposed to get, and even though I don’t have any classes until tomorrow after­noon, that still means I am enti­tled to slack off and write a blog post! I’m hoping this week’s bliz­zard is the final last … Read More

My weekend, choc full of excitement.

This weekend was filled to the brim with activity, most of it with the scoobs up in Boston. So much activity, in fact, that I am drag­ging and tired on this sunny Monday morning, and feeling slightly congested like I might get a cold at any moment. But … Read More

Playing with CS3

After this image whetted my curiosity, I had to try out this photomerge thing for myself. I happened to have a set of photos I took of Roger Williams Memorial Park for research during one of my studio projects, and so I plugged them in to see what came out. … Read More

Summer storms

When I left my apart­ment last night to head to studio, it was sunny and clear. But by the time I had driven the two miles into down­town, this is what the weather looked like: It was bizarre how fast it came in, and how violent it … Read More

Seedlings!

Despite being completely mired in school­work this past semester, I somehow managed to start two small flats of seeds and keep them alive until they turned into cute little herbs! I think it had some­thing to do with running to Home Depot every two days for supplies … Read More

Hot hot hot!

Its barely June, and I am sitting in studio already, taking advan­tage of the air condi­tioning. Why? because its 97 degrees outside, and my apart­ment doesn’t have a/c. While I get ample cross-breeze at home, that just doesn’t cut it when the temper­a­ture gets into the 90s. … Read More

Campus Podcasts

Our soon-to-be pres­i­dent has been busy these last few weeks, touring the campus and producing a series of ad-hoc podcasts of various final crits across campus. Its a neat way to expe­ri­ence the unique atmos­phere of this place, and perhaps explore what moti­vates so many people here … Read More

Internets, Meet Eve.

This morning I started a week-long stint dogsit­ting this little hellion. Sources tell me she is a very sweet Beagle mix named Eve, but I have yet to be convinced. But we’ve had our first walk, and she’s now asleep on the floor with her head on my feet, … Read More

First snow!

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 … Read More
