A lovely blog on minimalism and simplicity

i think what he means to say is “a lovely blog about mac and the mac inspired aesthetic” because that’s all i’m seeing here.

i wonder if people are aware that there is more to the concept of ‘minimalism’ other than things that are white and glossy?

Let’s not forget rounded corners and Myriad Pro.

There’s nothing wrong with that sort of thing. Obviously it’s worked out nicely for Apple and scores of imitators. It’s just funny that the meaning of words change. Minimalism now is simply an aesthetic.

I’m not one to be sappy (or am I?) but I have to say that this was the first ‘serious’ photo I ever took. It’s the photograph that made me think “Hey, I can actually do this fairly well. Maybe there’s something to that.”

I am annoyed with OHLAP/financial aid

sarahha:

I accepted OHLAP at the beginning of this year to help cover tuition. It was an option, so I took it. Now OHLAP has decided not to give it to me afterall….so now I have to pay that shit back. Darn you financial aid! Don’t make it an option if you don’t mean it!

Financial Aid was the most stressful part about college. It’s such an ineffective system. I wish you luck.

The unexpected beauty of chicken coops « PhotoDino

Another photograph I can’t stop looking at, but for much more pleasant reasons.

“These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.”

This really bothers me. I can’t stop looking at this photo, and it’s making me sick. But I think that people need to see it.
