a slice into the new year
4 Janin any event the new year brings new arguments
such as the humility argument to hypocrisy
and the dimension based time argument to the mental based time
our new year brings an indisposable argument about the inspiration of life
and that is death
in order to complete this argument, same as a student may know an answer to geometry before the proof, shall you receive the solution at the beginning of the new year.
granted its a knife. and WTF
well, here we are.

MENORAH MODERN
9 DecHere is my design for the Steelcase Menorah + Wreath competition. It’s clean lines, clever design and DIY inspired roots seemed to be a shoe-in as tops this year. I have to say, I think this is probably one of my best designs. This was produced with the following tools: chop-saw, drill, saws-all and a mitre box.
But alas, a piece bullshit NON-MENORAH eyecandy from SOM took first prize. Their entry was not a menorah, but rather an elaborate vacuumed-formed, CNC cut candelabra that could only be produced in SOM’s high-tech model shop. With total disregard for the Jewish faith and ceremony, they took it. Which leads me to believe that, as always, a total defiance of rules will always win a competition.
The Flying Pig & derby days
24 Aug
to keep the inner child in my my in charge
Portland Soapbox Derby
The Flying Pig
39 entries lots of speed cars, not so many art cars. save for this gorgeous wine barrel beast.

the pig had a sketchy first run, ended up fish tailing 180 degrees around the “learning curve” because the tail was too light.
the 2nd and 3rd runs were tight, 1:15 a piece, course record being 1:13
unfortunately the pig wasn’t able to place due to the first infraction ruining our time average.

The pig’s graphics were cre
ated by the driver Dave Ewald. T-shirts were given to the team.
