Bruce Mau

Yesterday, while gathering my detergent and hamper to take to the laundry mat, I also grabbed my CS (Chicago Style) magazine to have something to look at while washing. I expected it to be the usual shots of local socialites, cool "green" things to consume, and restaurant reviews,
- and that it was. But this time there was even more. There was Bruce Mau. I didn't even know that this graphic/urban designer existed, let alone was based out of Chicago. His most famous work, Massive Change, is a book as well as a former exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art. Massive Change is a collaboration with Jennifer Leonard that looks at design all over the world, trends, and new ideas towards sustainability. Why I think he's so great is because he's not afraid to put radical ideas out there. He and his firm, Bruce Mau Design, have proposed urban farms at el stops among other creative ideas to give commuters something to do besides wait for the train. I encourage everyone to check out his site for inspiration.

Henrietta Pussycat

Meow meow so I'm writing meow a piece meow meow for my website meow about 1970s children's television meow and its meow impact meow meow on the return to dense urban meow centers.

So, in the process I have been watching old episodes of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Sesame Street, and the Electric Company. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood is by the far the most excellent children's television program of the three and possibly at all...ever. I highly recommend revisiting the old episodes. Be careful! You might learn somethin'! Ooh. I need to add Fat Albert to the list as well.

Here's a link to the Mister Roger's Neighborhood page about Henrietta Pussycat, clearly my favorite character.
