"In this talk David Carson reminds us through a kind of show-and-tell that there are graphic design lessons all around us. There are some interesting issues here to think about in his talk and a few laughs. (Sidenote: I agree with him that there is a certain charm to 35mm slide projectors; I loved the clarity of the old slide images. But he starts off his talk by taking a shot at PowerPoint seemingly suggesting that the tool must always be used in a distracting fashion. Then he goes on to use PowerPoint exactly like an old slide projector, something even old slideware does very well. This was shot in 2003, however, when bad PowerPoint was just about the only kind you saw.)"
he's actually one of my favorite photographers.

plants.
so only a half of the plants i started off with have survived. the ones that are still left are doing pretty well. the basil is looking a little gnarly, but the seem to still be alive and well, despite their contorted shape.
i was able to transplant most of the banana peppers yesterday with annie. i'll probably make another round to home depot this week and pick up some more pots. actually, if anyone has any extra pots, let me know!
next year i'm just going to buy some of the plants as seedlings. growing the plants from seeds on a condo patio has been challenging. it'd be easier just to pick up a couple of plants instead. i'd also have a wider variety.
check out the plants from early june.
check out the plants from may.
