Problem: use CHANCE, CONTROL, OVERLOOK(ED), SIMPLIFICATION, SYNERGY, and VOYEURISM in once sentence.
Rule: you can use the words in different form. for example, simplification=simplify; voyeurism=voyeur so on.

Just kidding, the graphic card of my macbook pro is broken. it’s now getting repair in some apple [...]

luckily before the snow really hit new york city, i went out to search for more inspiration products, these were found in a package book, muji and toy’r’us. so i categorize them in two categories–design and toys. after all, toys are also design as well…

btw, i found my dream house in toy’r’us:

-In graphic design, “the essence is to give order to information, [...]

i have been sick the past weekend, bummer… besides that, i try to produce my first project through silkscreen, but i realized silkscreen takes too much time to produce one project, in the mean time, my epson 1400 is  still a better choice. multitask, multitask, multitasking, keep that in mind.
and in the newest 30 rock [...]

as suggested from class, i will be working on individual projects that conveys ideas of synergy. each project may work on it’s own, or may not relate to one to another, but as a group, they will work together and be a bigger energy. i hope there will be as many as project i can [...]

all these little holes serve a purpose to the great Mac Pro.

You may ask me,  why do you pick regret as your project theme? what does has to do with synergy?

regrets of the day:

regrets of the day:
i didn’t do enough work yesterday and today. and shouldn’t spent money on unnecessary things (mostly clothes, but i haven’t shop for a while).
今天的遺憾：
沒有有效利用時間、壓力大擠不出好的概念。不應該把錢花不必要的東西上（大部份是衣服、但我很久沒買了）。

i have two regrets today (12/1/2009)
-i was rushing to go home today, when i came out of the elevator, a girl skip a step on the stairs and she fell, i  didn’t help her to get up.
-when i was on the train, i was play bejewled on my ipod, and when i looked up, there [...]
