Shooting Star(s) Alert!

The Perseids Meteor Shower, which happens every year, is set to peak tonight (between midnight and dawn). The best way to see the showers is to find someplace dark (away from city lights) and lie on your back with your feet pointing northeast. I did this one year somewhere in Marin and saw lots of shooting stars!

Since we never did make it over to Austria…

Stefan Sagmeister

Stefan Sagmeister, one of my favorite print designers, is going to be giving a talk at Stanford tomorrow. It’ll be in Pigott Hall (Bldg 260, Room 113) at 8pm. Here’s more on him

Stefan Sagmeister is one of the most influential graphic designers in the world working today. Since 1993 Sagmeister Inc., has focused on all things printed, including posters, brochures, books, and graphics and packaging for music clients…He’s created iconic album covers for Lou Reed, the Talking Heads, and the Rolling Stones…

Also, here’s a talk that he did at TED in 2004 that I recently watched while on the train. It’s called “Yes, design can make you happy.” I don’t know if design always makes me happy but this talk definitely did!

Quite possibly the worst venue for a Burning Man event

rajbot — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 06:24:20 +0000

This year’s Burnal Equinox event (called Whispered Dream) is going to be held at the Whisper Ultralounge, which sounds like one of the worst venues in SF for a burning man event.

Their webpage lists the “upscale dress code” as follows:

NO; Athletic/Sports Attire of any kind including expensive designer court shoes, Timberland and/or similar style Boots, Excessively Baggy Jeans, Dark Sunglasses, T-shirts, Athletic Apparel, and Most Hats (Fedora style top hats are acceptable). You’ll have to step it up if you wana step in.

Bwahahahaha… BM keeps getting less and less interesting to me.
