Very unscientific and unofficial health advice from a person whose physical age is probably about ten years higher than his actual age. But, it could be worse if I took less care of myself. Yes, We Are Stupid. May 11, 2015. People can be such beautiful creatures. A few of them have sustained me for the last few months. But people, myself included, can also be stupid, judgmental, thoughtless, and so fixed in their brain-washed ideas that they can’t see the forest for the trees. Is that a proper way of thi...

The Difficulty of Writing “Pretty” Music. November 8, 2011. I’ve noticed what seems to be a pretty universal trend in the evolution of musicians and bands: their more memorable creations often gradually move from “ugly” to “pretty” as the musicians become more proficient. By “ugly,” I don’t mean bad, weak, or off-putting – I mean dissonant, off-beat, very clearly. If you’re a musician,. Not Em C G D. I’ll propose a guess as to why that is. Let me preface it by saying a few things:. My hypothesis doesn...

Monthly Archives: May 2014. Faith, or Something Like It. May 26, 2014. I was driving home from playing football a couple days ago and saw a billboard that annoyed me. It said something like “You don’t find faith. It captures you.” I thought, “That’s a pretty stupid thing to say. What does that even mean? This didn’t annoy me because it was just Christians being annoying Christians. I am a Christian. At least, insofar as the fact that I try (I said. See what I mean? Rather, faith does not necessarily come...

Old) a little design everyday. Friday, February 25, 2011. Relief Society Birthday Celebration balloon invitation. A balloon invitation I designed for my church's women's organization, the Relief Society. I love the whimsical, retro-look of the tangelo, mint, and gray color palette. My inspiration: these Zara Picken's illustrations. Posted by Anelieze Castrejon. Friday, February 11, 2011. Chalkboard lettering by Dana Tanamachi. A chalkboard Dana Tanamachi. Brilliant design and typography = swoon. With a f...

FPU PISMO: February 2014
http://fpupismo.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Logo zimskih olimpijskih igara izazvao je dosta polemika kao i verovatno svaki logo koji se tice cele planete. On je po mnogo cemu drugaciji od dosadasnjih, pa se javnost podelila na onu frakciju koja tu razlicitost ne prihvata, i drugu, kojima je upravo ona zanimljiva. Kao sto pise u samom pocetku teksta koji razmatra ovu temu na The New Yorker. ITC Avant Garde Gothic alts. Koji cine fontove ove siroke familije.Vise informacija pronadjite na MyFonts. Vise informacija o projektu pronadjite OVDE. Nekoliko...

Voting for Bernie. Here’s Why. March 1, 2016. All of the Republican candidates but Kasich fail a basic character test to my human senses, and this matters to me: don’t lie, don’t be an uninformed, narcissistic racist jerk, don’t change your positions so you sound like what constituents want to hear. Don’t make dogmatic statements that only work because most people don’t actually understand the details. (See Cruz on Supreme Court nominations, Rubio on Apple case.). Oh, and I’m aware a lot of the things Sa...

Rocking My Ears Off! A Little Labor-Day Rant | Man Make Fire
http://www.manmakefire.org/music/rocking-my-face-off-a-little-labor-day-rant
Rocking My Ears Off! A Little Labor-Day Rant. September 6, 2011. But here’s the problem I’ve found in almost every case, with the exception of the aforementioned shows, probably not coincidentally: I can’t hear the friggin’ music. Not because it’s not loud enough, but because it’s about 47 decibels too loud. Yes, my measurements are way off, and no, I don’t care. Concert a few days ago, that they might share my enjoyment of the band. I have no clue who has the final word on these acoustic matters: the ba...

Facebook: The Missing Manual. September 8, 2011. If I could write a manual on how people should use Facebook, it would go something like the following. Yes, I’m sure I’ve broken these guidelines; I might even do so in this post, but I try not to make a habit of it. Post obscure or vague statements fishing for sympathy or questions. If you want to say something, just say it. Do things in your real life only so you can post about it on Facebook. (The same goes for Twitter.). Reveal your deepest feeling to ...
