Design Thoughts

I've missed writing about design and innovation. I'll be getting back into the groove again. 

ode to colors of summer

Think blue skies, artistic flair, youth, rebellious weather, organic eats, and even sand... BERLIN.

Genau, Berlin. Lovely time spent with dear friends. Since this marked my 2nd time in the city, I basically sought to enjoy my time as a local and avoid any of the touristic scenes. Instead, I biked around the city, sat on the grass, ate local organic yogurt ice cream, indulged in street art, and walked carefree... Berlin, Ich danke dir fur alles!

Summer Greets

Things have been hectic, in a good way, no excuse for not posting and keeping the blog up to date... 
Hope to re-energize my virtual abode and share some updates with you! 

What's my story lately? Working, traveling, meeting interesting people, and engaging in some intellectual exchanges. Oh, and I almost forgot... enjoying sunshine when possible and lavishly indulging in good eats-- major weakness!

Happy Saturday ;)

In my Pjs but soul @ Coachella

To all those lovely, cheerful folks dancing their hearts out at the coachella lawns this year... my soul is there with you. Not that you may care, but sadly I don't have a personal relationship with Coachella. We just can't mange to coordinate for a meet. Call it failed kismet if you will...

Technically, through the marvels of YouTube, I can artificially mimic the experience. Fantastic. I appreciate State Farm for sponsoring the brilliant views of the stage performances. My eyes fancy explosions in the sky with a hint of Breakbot.
Hope to get my thirst quenched somehow...

The bad news: many will get terrible sunburns, sweat profusely, obtain grass stains on clothes, and get over charged on food + water.

The good news: somehow it's still epic...

2013, we need to discuss this matter in detail.

For now, I leave you as ¨The Rapture¨ plays drums to the beat...

---- Aber seht selbst ----

to do, to do, to do

It's Thursday and the week is almost over... 

¿Any thoughts on this matter?

Nice to Meet U Peking

I was taken to eat peking duck several times during my travels in Beijing. Each experience was unique and flavorful. Restaurants have their own recipes for peking duck, so each taste was particular to the kitchen's cooking style. The crisp of the duck's skin cannot be described with words...

Chinese Fish

In one of my dining experiences, I encountered a distinguished Mr. fish (one to one) before selecting him  to be my dinner. My tummy was honored. Yes, have I mentioned how much I love food? Eating is my favorite way to experience cultures...

these sweet rolls were amazing, filled with bean paste!

Happy April...

In the states, the first day of April equates with attacking the gullible-- April Fools.

Hopefully, many survived today's pranks, jokes, and tricks. 

The good thing about it, is that April marks the real beginning of spring time! 

Lately, i'm feeling rather colorful.

What do you look forward to in the spring time?

Little Big Berlin

Awesome film of Berlin...

Snowy Wall - Part 2

It might not seem obvious in the pictures, but the stairs of the great wall are unique in their shape and size. They are narrow and high so it requires an extra effort to climb them up. It's inspiring to see some locals visit the wall to perform their routine exercise... made it seem so effortlessly. After half an hour, the sky became grey and particularly windy. I decided to get down and take a look around, that's where I discovered the mushroom sign, ducks, and neat stones with writing on them.

Thinking back, the atmosphere was rather silent and breathtaking...
