"Hu Yang's extensive photographic publication "Shanghai Living" documents the living spaces of 500 families living in today's Shanghai. A selection of 100 of the images were first displayed at ShanghART Gallery and caused unforeseen public attention due to their rare and particular presentation of intimate and protected private spaces." - Design You Trust.

Really interesting piece to listen. I loved every seconds of it!
Like Beijing, a BIG character of Boston, is its unique accent. For Beijing, its the "R"s or the rolling of the tongue. In Boston, its the opposite. Some people consider it a joy, some people sees it as an infliction. I personally like it, its what makes these places different. This link features an entire radio episode that discusses the accent, so if you're interested in that kind of thing, you're in for a treat.
For friends thats living outside of America.
Just check out Good Will Hunting, The Departed, and something older, Wizard of OZ. The Tin Man, When he says "Heart" He says "Hahhht" hehe, I love it.
Wow, I'm not into the music, but, Wow!
I was browsing sina.com earlier and guess what I found, Shouzhi's blog. Mr Wang Shou Zhi is the man that introduced ArtCenter to me. He's also one of the two highly respected chinese teachers in ArtCenter. Because of his "Masters in Architecture" class I now could some what show off my knowledge in Mies-ism and Frank Lloyd Wright to people, and decipher between ugly buildings and beautiful buildings, something Chinese architects really needs to learn. The blog is in Chinese only though. If you see this Mr Wang, please add my blog link too :).
Here's his blog: http://blog.sina.com.cn/wangshouzhi
You gotta Love BBC, this is some TV show from BBC5, featuring a british comedian traveling in China. http://www.five.tv/paulmerton/
After Corey finished art school in SF, He decided to go to Alaska and find a job on a fishingboat. Not exactly the best plan, but it sure is quite an experience. There are a lot of great pictures there.

Sitting in the office, working on the next big thing from Moto, which I can't yet disclose, I realized, that I'm actually missing out on Roots concert. Thank god I held off on getting the tickt. Found this cool link though.
This is from absolut.com/pears. The site features some neat things being destroyed in slow motion. Really cool.
I have to say, this is pretty impressive. Some kind of super nerd collective. Also, impressive information organization skills.
This is why I don't think I can hack it in Shang Hai. Out of all places, why would us, the longest continuous culture on earth do things like this?

I will never buy a Zune, the navigation system is not horrendous but its messier than ipod. The thing I really dig though, is their advertising. This thing on the web is really cool, the posters, short animations has little to do with the actual product, but it has to do with interpretation of certain kind of music. I prefer this form of advertising, it is making an effort to say, yeah, we get it, we love music and all the feelings it conjures up too, not because we want you to buy this music related product. In a few days, I will post what I've done for Airbus thats similar to this. ;)
Here they are, enjoy, and leave comments. :)
