patrick swayze? dead at 57? i think not ...

in fact, patrick swayze is alive, well, 23 and living in Marquette, Michigan. I saw him very recently and he was just fine.

it's interesting that no matter how much thought you give to your goals, how much you dream about them or how much you want them to be real, the best way to achieve your goal is to just do it.

you shouldn't think about how your plan could fail, but rather, you should think about what you need to do in order for it to succeed. don't give yourself the option of failing. if negativity is out of sight it's not corrupting your path to completion. don't fear the reaper.

so my rapid prototype from the other day, just for the sake of sharing, was a puzzle that demanded from its users a thought process that takes them beyond their usual realm of thinking. 

i found discarded objects, displayed them, and encouraged people to find uses for them other than what they should be used for. 

Some pieces were stolen, some people added suggestions on the sticky notepad for how these objects could be reused.

eventually someone made a big contraption out of the entire collection, unfortunately the site was cleaned up before i had a chance to photograph it.

cheers.

oh, and other random photos from the week. enjoy.
