If you like pictures of bikes, follow Mission Bicycle. The team posts many of the bikes they build, and document the progress of a new frame they’re inventing.
This one’s for you bike-heads. I spent an hour at Mission Bikes in SF a few years ago gawking and drooling like a slack-jawed hillbilly.
The Johnsons Christmas card is complete. A lot of these photos have been posted before, so feel free to fast forward.
Happy Christmas!
Sometimes Autotune can make a song better. It helps if the vocalist can actually sing. If you like, go get Polica’s debut album on iTunes. Minneapolis music scene is as diverse and amazing right now as ever.
(You can listen first on Spotify like I did. Then go buy the damn thing on iTunes or Amazon)

Dutch bike lane design. Inherent in this design is purpose, which is “improve safety.” Transportation design in the U.S. does not recognize, “improve” only safety. The system is rigged in favor of productivity. Move cars faster, work work work shop shop shop.
Assuming you have a bike lane to begin with…

Ingvild Østgård - You Will Never Know
This Oslo-based songwriter just sent me her material that consists entirely of live takes. Listen to this song. If you think this sounds like a live take, you’re crazy. The sound, the song, the nuance - this is a perfect little gem. In one take. That is talent, my friends.She writes:I come from a small island in the north of Norway (Stokmarknes), but have lived in Oslo for some years now… Live we are a trio (Lars Even Tørresen, drums) and (Erik Normann, bass…also playing with Moddi..). I like to say that we play maximinimalistic music, small stories, inspired by other bands/artists like Feist and Beach House. I decided to release a live session as my first album because I was tired of the never-ending process: trying to make records, and never being satisfied or having the money. I thought that if we are not good enough live its not good enough.You go, girl! Get the rest of her brilliant live session release from Brilliance Records.
Mmmmm
The world’s first vertical forest is being built in Milan, Italy.
Did you know that Milan is one of the most polluted cities in Italy? Apparently urban sprawl and increased emissions are major causes for slumping air quality in the international fashion capital. So Italian architect Stefano Boeri has formulated an unusual plan to give the city back what it’s lacking: namely, some greenery.
Bosco Verticale is Italian for “Vertical Forest.” The project took inspiration from traditional Italian towers covered in ivy. Boeri has simply multiplied the amount of foliage to a dramatic degree, envisioning residential buildings that resemble tall boxy trees. Each apartment unit has a balcony attached, with a lush garden enveloping the structure. The two towers will provide roots for 900 trees, as well as plenty of shrubbery and other floral vegetation. Their footprint, when flattened, is equal to 10,000 square meters of forest. Bosco Verticale provides a plan to make reforestation possible within the confines of a developed city.

Interested in public art? Beautiful landscapes that inspire and amaze. More importantly, do you have an opinion on public art?
I will be part of a panel discussing public art in Fort Wayne on November 28 at Artlink in the Auer Center. Join us after work for a drink, a little food, and a little brain-storming.

At long last the patio I designed for the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory is complete. The patio itself has been done for some time, but furniture was delivered last week. The furniture really brings things together. The color pops nicely against the grey slate pavers. Hope to see lots of folks enjoying their meals here on nice days this fall and next year. As long as your there, might as well visit the Conservatory as well. (Corner of Calhoun and Jefferson)

This is a Sketch Up model and animation I created for Phases I and II of the new Boundless Playground planned at Kreager Park in Fort Wayne. Construction will begin this fall. You may notice that the model includes site furnishings, splash pad, restroom building (thanks MKM!), parking, seat walls, shade structures, and trees, but no play equipment. This is because we have not yet picked a play equipment manufacturer. The 3 "pods" you see on the site will be home to 3 separate play structures. I will update the model once we have selected the manufacturer.
(The restroom building was designed and modeled by Morrison Kattman Menze Architects http://www.mkmdesign.com/page/mkm/ |

This is my first foray into independent film-making. It is a 'short' titled "Walking Towards the Light". I would like to thank all my friends and family who worked on this film. It was a long 3 years but with your help my dream is finally a reality. Thanks especially to those of you who lent your financial support - and to all my extras. |
