getting in the habit of writing something is fine, but writing something that someone else might be interested in is the daunting task. i guess i just shouldn't care & write. i am so "green" when it comes to reading, subscribing, & writing blogs. i still enjoy the act of writing on paper with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. if i'm lucky, the graphite doesn't smudge. i know this isn't terribly exciting to people in an age of technological advancement & racing to design the next coolest gadget. i'd much rather sit under the glow of my yellowed incandescent lamp in a room that may not have perfect 90degree angles or furniture found in the latest 'design within reach'.
so, i came across this car today while doing a search for step lights for a landscape lighting project. the new honda step bus concept car. i'm not sure how to feel about this thing. as with so many other trends, this is no different. a lot of design travels down a path that i would rather not follow. i am sure a number of aesthetic theorists could explain the theory behind my gut feeling, but for lack of a better way to explain it - it lacks soul. what would clement greenberg say?
on a more productive note, it has been 11 1/2 days since my last cigarette. ride on....
