Objectified

Objectified - a documentary film by Gary Hustwit "Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. "

Catching up on work...

I have not been able to complete tasks on time, but its now my duty to catch up on all the Blogs that i've missed in this semester to get myself back on track. Watch this space for updates one whats been happening in IDES3221. To begin with - the myfootprint.org web site has been not working for me since i did it incorrectly (forgetting to screen Print) I'll try to get onto it when i figure out how to get it to work for me.

Not enough time for anything these days

Although everything seems all well and good - There’s always something not going your way. So learn to get over it and just keep on doing what you got to do. There has been so many times this year that when I think its all over and all given up - there seems to be new hope in the darkest of corners. I hope my coming adventure brings new light. My journey will begin in Tokyo, Japan followed by Berlin, Germany - hopefully venturing out into the rest of Europe. And finally ending in Hong Kong were i hope to discover my roots. There has been intense planning, organizing and trying to maximize my Aussie dollar. I’m bringing my bike over too. I hope that I without have to pay extra excess fees traveling on the plane. Trekking though the German country side would be really great – get away - take some time alone. Cheap too. // Just to add – im loving this bike by Fast boy.
