it’s funny when a sketch from a meeting turns (nearly unchanged) into a logo for a company. i made this a year or so ago, probably 15 minutes after being given the ‘brainstorming’ assignment, and so it stands on their website. with the kerning mistake and other problems still intact.

anyhoo, if you want to read about films made in oregon, check out the site:

today i stumbled up on this recording of Way (58 minutes). so amazing.

And I’m certainly no financial wizard, but it looks like if we fined BP (pdf) for the Gulf oil spill at the same percentage rate Switzerland fined this rich guy for a speeding ticket (1.28% of assets), we’d be fining them $1.3 billion.

A modest proposal for your consideration: an oil spill is at least as bad as a speeding ticket. Maybe worse.

The Man Who Was Allergic to Radio Waves, recent article in Popular Science concerning the state of knowledge related to electromagnetic fields, and their effect on humans (via cell phones, et cetera).

the article profiles Per Segerbäck, his condition (electro-hypersensitivity), and the situation in sweden (the only country ‘to recognize EHS as a functional impairment’).

very intriguing …

“In Britain, only 8 percent of the population is Catholic (compared with 25 percent in the United States). Abortion there is legal. Abortion is free. And yet British women have fewer abortions than Americans do. I asked Cardinal Hume why that is.
The cardinal said that there were several reasons but that one important explanation was Britain’s universal health-care system. “If that frightened, unemployed 19-year-old knows that she and her child will have access to medical care whenever it’s needed,” Hume explained, “she’s more likely to carry the baby to term. Isn’t it obvious?”
A young woman I knew in Britain added another explanation. “If you’re [sexually] active,” she said, “the way to avoid abortion is to avoid pregnancy. Most of us do that with an IUD or a diaphragm. It means going to the doctor. But that’s easy here, because anybody can go to the doctor free.””

Official letterhead of DeLorean Motor Company, a car manufacturer who released just one model before collapse: the DeLorean DMC-12. In 1985, three years after the company went bankrupt, the gull-wing doored DMC-12 starred in Back to the Future.

“I don’t know what happened to the Future. It’s as if we lost our ability, or our will, to envision anything beyond the next hundred years or so, as if we lacked the fundamental faith that there will in fact be any future at all beyond that not-too- distant date. Or maybe we stopped talking about the Future around the time that, with its microchips and its twenty-four-hour news cycles, it arrived.”

- Michael Chabon
