50 things not to say on a first date
1. I’d take you back to my place but they don’t allow women on C-block.
2. McDonald’s is usually a splurge for me but I guess it’s important to impress on the first date.
3. Excuse me being a little bitchy but it’s that time of the month.
4. I don’t really go much for alcohol, I’m more of a blood guy.
5. I don’t want to hurry you, or anything, but I left the kids with the sitter and she charges by the hour.
6. I am really supportive of the women’s rights movement and religiously believe that the girl should pick up the tab for the More >
Seiji Fujishiro – Japanese cut-art painter
Seiji Fujishiro’s is a Kiri artist . Kiri is the Japanese art of cut-out art, fashioned after the principle of silhouettes. He uses three layers of paper behind glass and back lit. The works are displayed in a dark exhibit area that further enhances the effect. This technique doesn’t transfer well to printed matter of photographs so what you see here is far less impressive than the real thing. If an exhibition arrives at a museum near you, run to it.

The Philosophy of Bob Dylan
For an era of lost boys who didn’t want to grow up and fight for causes they didn’t understand, Bob Dylan was their Plato, Socrates and Machiavelli and rolled into one and set to music.
Vain is the musician or poet, writing in the last five decades, who will claim he was not in any way influenced by Dylan. He is more than just another artist – he is the voice of a general. As he celebrates his seventieth birthday here are some of the more profound philosophical lyrics that he created.

2:46: Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake
The 2:46 Quakebook project started with a tweet. It rapidly grew, and has become a way that we could help all those hit by the the March 11th earthquake and its aftermath.
Led by Our Man In Abiko, a call went out across Twitter for contributors to create a book to raise funds for Red Cross Japan. The idea was to share the stories and experiences of people actually on the ground during the earthquake.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by this event; from those directly in the earthquake zone, the path of the tsunami, in the evacuation area around the nuclear More >

Tokyo Design Festa #33 – the presenters
The bi-annual Tokyo Design Festa at the Tokyo Big Sight (and they mean big!) boasts 7000 booths, but because of the calm Japanese manner it is my no means cramped or too tiring. Apart from the exhibitions themselves the exhibitors are often even more interesting as this sample demonstrates.

Stormy Weather
There’s a storm exploding in my coffee And I can’t seem to see past my nose. Things are never what they seem Even when you add the cream And the ravens that I spy are only crows. I wake up in the night to the disturbance of the light That is gleaming from the right side of my head. I am floating on a cloud Above a more than rowdy crowd Someone tell me if it’s something that I said.

10 new work laws we’d like to see
“All work and no play” well I think it’s time to put a n end to all that. Here are ten ways to do it:

- If your boss pisses you off twice in one week you are granted an immediate, paid one day vacation -
- Coffee served at work must not taste like some mixture put together by one of the witches from Macbeth. -
