What started out as a portfolio assignment has turned into so so so so so much more. I have learned more about myself than I otherwise could have. I have met more wonderful people that I otherwise could have. I've participated in fascinating conversations, been inspired to experience more culture than ever before, and actually learned more about planning and this business than I would have from simply living.
I want to thank all of you. I wouldn't have been able to do half of it hadn't it been for you guys. Noah for welcoming me to New York and inviting me to Likemind, Jack and Michael for the epitome of realizing Web 2.0, Russell for giving me ideas without even realizing it, Amber for inspiring me to visit the Design Triennial (and write an article on it), Ed for introducing me to all Naked, Clay for being so generous and enthusiastic and inspiring, everyone everyone everyone. Thank you!
Thank you right back. It's been great to get to know you. Cheers to a great year ahead!

ReplyDeleteArriving a little late...I did not even know this blog of yours existed until now.
ReplyDeleteEither way, blogs are definitely and interesting result of the "internet revolution" - they have created havoc for some, given solace to others, and even caused great stress to governmental bodies and other corrupt organizations.
It's a sign of our generation. The internet has given us a way to speak to others all around the world in ways humans have never been capable of. And blogs give people the chance to expose themselves, especially those who are normally reserved or unable to properly express themselves in speech.
It's our outlet. our tool. our forum for mass discussion.
