Special Update: Elijah Wood is Very, Very Gay

Pictures speak louder than words, folks. I really thought they pulled off the "brotherly affection" in the latest of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but this website shatters all boundaries.

Note to self: "Dammit, if only I hadn't used my "Return of the Queen" joke earlier this week!"

Oh man, is he gay.

Fall Review 2003

Merry Christmas to one and all! I hope Santa rewarded the good girls and boys... As for you, I bring photos of my latest work, fresh from the DAAP ID Fall Review! Enjoy!

Lord of the Bling: Return of the Queen

Yes my darlings...I have returned to you! It warms my heart to hear that some of you have been checking ever-so-diligently over the past few weeks, eyes hungry for the next fun-filled episode of everybody's favorite blog, fingers eager to click on every tempting link, sides poised to split at the next clever quip...

FOOLS! Do you not know the strains that the DAAP enduces? Do you not realize the stresses that we humble DAAPsters endure? Do you not remember what a procrastinator I am?

Which brings us up to speed. Everybody make it? Good.

DAAP Term 2: Son of DAAP

Oh man, what a term it has been! Autumn term saw my graduation from Foundation Freshmanto the ranks of Industrial Design Sophomore, complete with official classes, including Design Communications (aka drawing) and Industrial Design Studio (aka studio). My DesComm professor was the acclaimed Ms. Brigid O'Kane, famed GM car studio transplant and designer of the much-debated Pontiac Aztek. You remember that one, the car that was given away as the grand prize in the very first Survivor series. Man, those were the days...when a fat naked guy running around a tropical island was the worst thing we had to worry about

But I digress...looking ahead, my studio professor next term will be Soo Shin Choi, who recently joined DAAP faculty after working as Head Designer for Dean Kamen Research. DEKA, as it's known, is the team that brought us the much-heralded Segway Human Transporter, touted to reinvent the way people commute, the catalyst for the reinvention of cities, and the perfect gift for the typical overweight American who has everything. Cynical? Yes. Did that stop me from taking one for a test drive at the first opportunity? Hells no!

All in all my first term as an industrial design student went well...pics of some of my projects to come. More importantly, my blog got a new frock for the holidays - burgundy and evergreen, Christmas style at its finest!
