the job hunt continues...

i've sent inquiries all over spain, starting in barcelona to madrid to bilbao to seville.. all over paris, milano, roma, berlin, copenhagen, oslo, stockholm, helsinki, back in amsterdam and rotterdam, shanghai, beijing, tokyo, osaka, and seoul. i hope something will come about with all this effort. still working on nonprofits on the side. at least i have this research project i can back up on & the website to figure out -- keeping me occupied.

my drive thru

the graphic make-up is super creative... not to mention my love of all 3 contributors. i'm reminded of that awesome polaroid video that surfaced from not too long ago.

sunspots

we watched a documentary last night on sun spots & what physicists propose they may be, how they affect and are affected by the sun, and other various theories they each back. notice the size of the earth (fig.1) in comparison to the sunspots... sunspots are relatively cooler than their surroundings, hence their darker color. in 1859, a powerful sunflare directed towards earth, interrupted the telegraph service & caused visible aurora borealis in havana, hawaii, and rome. again in 2003 there was another sunflare, this time it was captured with satellites. supposedly they can be seen from earth, without use of a telescope, but are "blindingly bright."

garfield minus garfield

this made me smile. i thought about this as i was debating what to do with my life, though i could think of something better than lawn ornaments for the afterlife.

signed, sealed, delivered ...

to every office in barcelona, madrid, and seville. if there are any other recommendations, please inform me. i have 3 versions of a "portfolio" and i am content with all 3 as means to get "me" across. now is the tough part... more sitting, waiting, hoping.

port-a-folio

pc is finito. greenpeace can find another mole to enter data. i am hesitant to go back to the land of egomaniacs, but i need something legitimate to get my foot in the door and work my way to becoming legal -- and the power of a piece of paper with a university and architecture tag will get me there. so plan b, spain. but to get there i have had to update my work... so i've been non-stop working on portfolio. and finally it's "done," i have my letter of recommendation, plus risotto's letter.. so i feel set and ready to brace myself for this next big step.

nessun gruppi in italia... ma perche?!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/2494053/Italian-mayor-bans-gatherings-of-three-or-more-people-as-soldiers-hit-streets.html

massimo giordano, the mayor of novara, italy has forbidden people to go around in groups of 3 or more... if caught there will be a 500 euro fine. this sounds like facism is growing strong -- to boot, there will now be military troops strolling the streets of all the bigger cities throughout italy, supposedly in response to growing crimes/violence?
