Aww, there’s a hospital in downtown LA that lit up its lights in the shape of hearts.

Images of DC days

January25

Back when I was visiting Panda in DC in the summer, I came across some random interesting sights. Behold.

In case you forget what a crosswalk is for?

I never knew they had branded three-wheelers! This guy's riding in style, isn't he?

Seating reimagined

November8

It’s nearly time for Opportunity Green 2011, and I am reminded of these fun Kimball Fit chairs that were on show last year.  Who needs a traditional chair when you have this?

Don't worry, just approach and sit!

After a long day, this was a welcome resting spot.

The Tech

October3

Panda and I went to The Tech museum in San Jose, which had some cool interactive exhibits, like this one that took our picture, drew it out, carefully placed the pen back, and suctioned the paper over to the slot so we could take it with us.

Recycled dragon

recycled plastic bottles pieced to look like sea dragon

A recycled plastic sea dragon decorates the floor at the Opportunity Green Conference 2010!

I love how it goes into the ground like you'd expect Loch Ness to do.

Can you believe an elementary school class made this with their teacher?

A side view of the head. They captured it really well!

Dead room

July14

A UCLA grad student explains the uses of this dead room. Watch how the sound dies once I face the other way. Your ears feel all out of whack in this thing! I can’t wait for the next TEDxUCLA. :)

My philosophy is simple: things change. Therefore, we are all on a lifelong journey of discovery. We should be flexible, questioning, learning, adapting, and growing. Always.

little fat notebook pays homage to Mead's "fat lil' notebooks" that I use to write down any thoughts that strike me throughout the day. I keep one by my side at all times. After all, inspiration waits for no one.
