John Maeda (technologist) is now the president of RISD (art school).

I think the implication there is self-explanatory.

Listen to an interview with John Maeda. It sounds like Lydon (the host) and Maeda are spooning naked in the afternoon sun but about halfway through Maeda has an interesting point about 'making the case for creativity.'

Robert McKee makes that case beautifully in the introduction to STORY. I'm about 1/3 of the way through that book and have totally bought into it.

MIT has commissioned a bunch of comics pages. I've decided that those pages will count towards my 365 day total. They have to. My schedule right now allows for 3-4 hours of drawing in the morning from 4am to 8am. So I don't have any wiggle room when it comes to taking on projects.

PSA -- Don't order a 'double espresso' at Panera Bread. Heads will explode. Lines will be held up.

ALSO -- I don't know If I'm that 'laptop in the cafe' guy anymore. I mean, I am TODAAAY, but I wonder if that's something I want to hold onto moving forward.

That is funny. My advice for Panera is order exactly what the guy in front of you ordered. Anything else is too much of a context switch.

I really don't like how it displays my name. I don't feel cooler any more.

It's a print project for the MIT Mobile Experience Lab. I've worked with them before developing visualizations for green and sustainable technologies. This will be the first PRINT project though. Pure design research -- I couldn't say 'no.' Combined with the escalating scope of my UI stuff It's going to be an intense, sleepless month.
