Patrick O’Brien Foundation.

Last year I had read that Transfatty, Patrick O’Brien, had developed ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and now the Patrick O’Brien Foundation has been started. There are plenty of causes to help, all worthy of support. However, if you’ve been around the design community for long, you know how much Patrick has contributed and how brilliant his work is.

There are a couple of shorts on the site that are quite good, check them out as well as this. The ’summer promo’ is excellent. Not that the others aren’t, but that one stands out amongst the rest.

Things I’d like to do before I…

Jeff posted “Things I’d like to do before I turn 30″, and for some reason it made something go off in my head. I haven’t thought about goals/aspirations in a while, for whatever reason. The future used to be the only thing on my mind up until… Continue Reading

But I digress. Back to my lists. I turned 22 in March, and have 3 more years until I turn 25 and start heading into my late twenties. So I have some time to step it up and get motivated again… and this post is going to help (especially if I’m not doing any of these things in a year and can look back on my failure, ha).

Things I’d like to do before I turn 25:
Pay off my car.
Move to, and make a decent living in, Portland, OR.
Visit Japan for an extended period of time.
Write a screenplay.
Buy a house with a massive porch, to do lots of ‘nothing’ on.
Speak at conferences and schools, if not teach.

Things I’d like to do before I turn 30:
Teach.
Get married.
Direct/Produce a feature length film.
Learn to play the piano (well).
Write for a publication (and a comic, shh).

Flight 3 in hand…

Kazu, over at Bolt City, has the latest edition of Flight in hand and it looks fantastic. There are a couple of big names contributing this time around, and I can’t wait to read it once it gets here. If you haven’t pre-ordered it yet, click here and hop to it.

Quote from Kazu: I’m so proud of everyone involved in this project, and I have to thank the fine folks at Ballantine Books for their dedication to the book, and for really opening my eyes to the level of professionalism afforded by the big trade book publishers. We already have ten times as many pre-orders for Flight 3 than we did for either 1 or 2, and the quality of the production is impeccable.

Wulffmorgen…love?

Wulffmorgenthaler has always been the only web comic thing online that I’ve read on a daily basis for the past two years at least, and it will probably stay that way. It’s consistantly funny, with it’s ridiculous dark humor. If you’re not dense, you’ll enjoy it. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Andres Morgenthaler who’s one of the contributors to the comic is working on a film called Princess, which looks solid. The trailer is a bit loud, so when you click the link make sure your sound is turned down a bit. It’d be pretty great to get a screener, maybe write a review or something…. ^^
