There's not really a thread for me to post this in, but, well, I think it's kinda nuts and I want to share it
The signature on the bottom is my own, from about 2 minutes ago.
On the top is my great-grandmother's writing on a ceramic bank when I was only 1 year old. For reference, that was ~33 years ago.
Obviously there are differences, but still.
Ooh ooh, now do a comparison of your and your grandfather's full credit card numbers.
Oh sure you wouldn't believe how similar those ended up b- heeeeeey
Ah dangit, I thought I had you there.
That is pretty neat though. Also that's a real clean-lookin' J you're signing, which is maybe a bit of a weird comment but as someone with a real messy signature I find it aesthetically pleasing.

I worked a lot on practicing my signature, but my actual handwriting is a hot mess.
But if you want to see some handwriting porn, well...

consistent baseline (The line letters "sit" on), x height (The height of lower case letters without ascenders) and tracking (space between letters and words) is pretty much all you need for your handwriting to look neat.
Demonstrated pretty beautifully by the fact that all three of those examples are pretty wildly different stylistically, but they all have those three consistent attributes, and they all look neat and pleasing.

chon.a constructs three-storey row house in coastal vietnam
images by hieu tam and huynh dung
the multi-storey row house designed by chon architecture led by nguyen cong toan is located in the coastal city of nha trang in vietnam. the client – a couple – desired a home that would cater to their love of cooking, gardening and a place for them to enjoy a sense of peacefulness away from the marketplace nearby.
consisting of three floors and topped with a roof garden; a skylight on the roof permeates the stairwell with light. each level has somehow incorporated greenery into the rooms, most prominently seen in the bathrooms and inner courtyards facing the lounge. the façade is distinguished by one half being clad with a triangular-patterned concrete and the other half timber; they both promote natural airflow, daylight and produces a interesting play of shadow inside.
(this feels very... near future cyberpunk, to me. I mean right now it's cool as heck anyway, but I feel like this will be a common scene in many cities in 50 years)

I love it I hope so!!
What sort of ideas are being floated to overcome the practical difficulties involved with plants growing in urban settings like this.
For example vines pulling on power lines, plants growing in cracks and breaking the concrete, etc.
What is being done to make these systems of the natural and the artificial work together rather than being opposing forces?
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say

Looks like the Manhattan Lowline got another step closer to reality recently with a City Hall approval? I think i'd be neat for an underground park concept actually see the light of day (ho ho). Especially with the youth education & technical aspects.

This quote from Zaphod Beeblebrox sums up that apartment/store perfectly....
“I'm up to here with cool, okay? I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.”
I've not shared anything in ages, heres some cool stuff! (if you follow my tumblr you may have seen it before).
Following a successful pilot launch in Boston and $1 million in venture backing, a startup company called Getaway has recently launched their service to New Yorkers. The company allows customers to rent out a collection of designer “tiny houses” placed in secluded rural settings north of the city; beginning at $99 per night, the service is hoping to offer respite for overstimulated city folk seeking to unplug and “find themselves.” The company was founded by business student Jon Staff and law student Pete Davis, both from Harvard University, out of discussions with other students about the issues with housing and the need for new ideas to house a new generation. From that came the idea of introducing the experience of Tiny House living to urbanites through weekend rentals.

The other two are nice though

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Yeah, if you can bother enough to get a pretty handwriting, get one with some character, not one that looks like elementary school.

Am I wrong to feel sad that the Mosque looks a bit like a bomb shelter?

Guessed Singapore this time do I was wrong
it looks like they took a hundred random single tiles from a hundred different bargain bins

these guys are just up the street from where I live
they run a shop called mjolk, which is a scandanavian / japanese design fusion
they furnish their apartment (above the shop) with some of their own wares as well
honestly I'd buy the entire store if I could afford any of it
edit: Is that single glazing in the sliding doors and some of the windows though?

The frames look extremely thin. If so, that upper floor with the roof deck must be really uncomfortable in winter.
That probably the japanese part of the design influence, and not the scandinavian.
nobody wants to live in a pyramid
I mean, it might not be my first choice (castle!), but I wouldn't say no if someone offered to build me one.
Also make good libraries in low light areas.
