“If I were a doctor, I would diagnose every one of my clients with KARMA and punch them in the face.”

Koala Punch

I just invented KARMAPUNCH. You can’t complain after being karmapunched, because something good is going to happen to you in order to balance the universe. On the other hand, if you don’t believe in Karma, you can go around punching people in the face and getting thanked for it. It all works out.

So have we entered the age of internet warfare? Has the war between china and USA started in digital form? As a joke, there has been talks about the unavoidable war between USA and china, as China rapidly grows economically and Western economies stagnate.

JA-77

Hey, sorry for the long silence. It’s been really busy these days.  The Wien University project by Atelier Hitoshi Abe is featured in the 2010 spring issue of the JA magazine, amongst works by other prominent Japanese Architects such as Atelier Bow-wow. If you have a chance, look through them at a local Architecture Book store, or make me rich by clicking on the amazon link(and buying it!).

The Intuitive Prime Minister Lesson 01

ASO_lessonENAlthough it didn’t last so long, I really liked the former Japanese prime minister Aso.  His expressions were so easy to read, and made the cold, opaque bureaucracy seem to fun and straightforward in a strangely heartwarming way.

What Space Sounds Like

2001

I’ve come across a recording of radiowaves from Jupiter, which actually sounds like the ambient background to Kubrick’s Space Oddysey 2001.  Its uber-creepy.
