THE REDESIGN OF MARTHA STEWART
When you hear the name Martha Stewart, I’m sure many things run through your mind; from her going to jail, her only daughter bad-mouthing her in a new book, to her impeccable array of home and craft accessories.
From a design perspective, I find the branding of her collections to be some of the most sleek, beautiful, modern and consistent looks out there. She has created so many branches of her empire with the various magazines, crafts, linens, pet accessories… the list could go on forever… and yet they each have their own identity and at the same time feel very “Martha Stewart-y”.
SISYPHUS 2012
In Greek mythology Sisyphus (/’sɪsəfəs/; Greek: Σίσυφος, Sísyphos) was a king punished by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. (Wikipedia)
Are things actually changing or do we just repeat ourselves over and over while time passes?
THUNDERSHIRT TO THE RESCUE!?
My brother Bruno is autistic, my canine brother that is. Now I know you’re asking can dogs really have autism? Yes, in fact they can. My moms have spent a lot of time researching, working with a special dog physiologist, trying medication and really not a lot has been too successful.
Bruno’s symptoms sound a lot like human autism. Here are a few of the more noticeable ones that I can remember.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY?
Soon the United Nations estimates, the world’s population will reach seven billion. Because censuses are infrequent and incomplete, no one knows the precise date — the Census Bureau puts it somewhere next March — but there can be no doubt that humanity is approaching a milestone.
The first billion people accumulated over a leisurely interval, from the origins of humans hundreds of thousands of years ago to the early 1800s.
Adding the second took another 120 or so years.
