Hello everyone. Today is the thirtieth day of my mandatory leave from my work site due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Thirty days...
I can't think of anything in my life over the last fifteen years that I've done consistently for 30 days except eating and sleeping...
Until now.
For the first time since I started this blog I have shown up here for the past thirty days to write about whatever is on my mind, in my heart, or what art I've created. And all because a pandemic has placed me in quarantine.
I've always had the idea to share some of my favorite podcasts here and it feels like now is the time.
I am especially excited to present The Observatory, a podcast hosted by Michael Bierut and Jessica Helfand. As designers, Michael and Jessica
discuss design, current events, and current enthusiasms. I've linked the
current episode which I just listened to this morning.
In the episode Jessica announced that she is now writing a
daily essay series entitled The Self-Reliance Project. The writings are intended to prompt one to think about "what it means to be a maker during a
crisis - to think through making, to know yourself better through the
process of producing something - and how this kind of return to
self-knowledge might just be the entire point." The essays can be found on their website Design Observer which "is a great place to meet for conversation about all the ways design affects our lives."
Thanks for reading and see you again soon.
