ID This Camera Shoulder Strap

If anyone knows where I can find this strap, let me know and I'd be forever grateful! Found it! $130 here.

Kitchen Crumb Vents

One word. Want.

Existential Star Wars

The effect of this Sartre/Star Wars mashup will be somewhat ruined if you actually speak French, but for those of us who are just reading the subtitles and hearing serious-sounding gibberish, there's no better way to spend 3-minutes of your Monday morning.

Lake Griffy

One last day at Lake Griffy in Bloomington. Soundtrack by Tyler the Creator Feat. Hodgy Beats - Analog. Editing done in iMovie. Enjoy!

Planned Upgrades

So I have decided that I will be documenting the upgrades I'll be adding to my Denver Victorian over the next couple of months. The list so far: 1) a wall shelving system, 2) a wall-mounted bike rack, and 3) a photo studio. 

Here Comes a Challenger!

Good god. The things I would do to have a chance to rub my crotch up against this bike.

Something New Every Day

Now that I'm officially graduated with a Masters (yeah, sucka!), I'll have to force myself to learn something new every day to keep those brain cells workin' overtime. Maybe I'll start learning how to make sushi finally. Or how to fix a leaking bike tire.

The Bobi Digital Shelf

It is here. My year-long graduate school thesis.

A bit of background for those just coming in. In the 12 months, I did a series of user research studies on collections in people's homes. My goal was to develop a solution that would directly address the lack of personal investment, tangibility, and value found in digital music today.

What came out of this research were a series of insights. I learned: 1) People valued things allowed them space in their homes, 2) In an Internet-connected culture, creative expression is everything, and 3) You can't simply put a digital photo in a frame and expect it to work; treat digital like digital, but make it rock unlike anything you've ever seen.

Today, as I prep for my move from graduate life back into the working world, I leave you with the spoils of all my hard work, the Bobi Digital Shelf (I really hope some of you hip-hop heads out there got the reference). It's furniture. It's an interface. It's a home to showcase your digital collections.

Please check out the video demo and let me know your thoughts!

Last Day of Slow Change

I'll admit, it's been a long time coming, but today's a moment of change for me. No, this isn't politics-related. It's about life changes. It's about moving to a brand new state I've never truly explored before. It's meeting new groups of people who will eventually leave a wonderfully candid and human mark on me, just as the previous one has. It's full speed ahead. No looking back. 

Words

It's always fun to collect a series quotes about life as we know it.

10 Ways To Freshen Up Your Space

If you're like me, you're OCD about getting the space just right. When I'm stuck, I always resort to this quick and easy method of freshening up my space. I do this by:

1. Moving shit around.
2. Buying new art.
3. Painting shit.
4. Moving more shit around (on the table, furniture).
5. Bringing in some nature (flowers, etc.).
6. Mixing bedding sets without giving a shit.
7. Adding new color via a single item.
8. Cleaning the living shit out of the place.
9. Taking/removing the drapes or trying something new with windows.
10. Adding a mirror to brighten up shit.

I could seriously watch this over and over.
