  1. Thanks to @maximolly for pointing me to CP Snow's Two Cultures, which takes me back to the core idea of my (never completed / failed) PhD.
  2. I think my job is The Art of the Whole, although my skills lean towards the way individuals interact with and understand that whole.
  3. I'm starting to wonder if between all our jobs there isn't something like "The Art of the Whole", which everyone tries to claim.
  4. It's the nature of all disciplines to conceive of the world through their lens and to try and lay claim to the most interesting work in it.
  5. By definition, surely, anything creative is about invention. Architecture is cultural invention, art too, literature, programming, TV, film.
  6. I keep coming across @schulze's line about design being cultural invention, and I keep wondering what creative enterprises aren't.
  7. This post wants Twitter to stop adding features since features add complexity: http://bit.ly/65T1jL I don't think the two have to correlate.
  8. Really lovely post exploring the logo design for an architecture and design company: http://bit.ly/8qmelp
  9. Lots of swearing from nearby advertising types this morning. Remember, in with anger, out with love!
  10. People keep pinging me (very helpfully) to tell me how to mark my DMs as read. Thanks guys! Double-clicking on the DM tab does the trick.
  11. @simonmaddox Yes. Thank you! http://twitter.com/plasticb...
  12. Just watched Doctor Who again and got a bit of a shiver down my spine when the Cloister bell started tolling right at the end...
  13. @matthewlevine Comcast is fine. They're a bit flaky and I don't like their modem, but honestly it's a utility and it basically works.
  14. Thanks to @jkleske for the Tweetie 2 tip: A double tap on the DM tab on the iPhone will allow you to mark all your messages as read.
  15. Also I need a 'mark all DMs as read' button in Tweetie 2 to deal with the shoddy way it maintains state.
  16. If you like stuff with a point and plot and people talking about their feelings then I'd stick with Independence Day :)
  17. If you're prepared to howl at the screen and shout down the idiotic heroes (particularly the science guy) 2012 is really entertaining.
  18. I'm going to try deep breathing exercises and then I'm going to close my eyes and try and feel my VPN key's aura.
  19. How is it possible to have lost my VPN key in my house. I definitely had it Friday night / Saturday morning. Bah!
  20. Creating a Twitter list of people that I can deal with when I'm in a bad mood with my industry.
