... The title of this blog has to do with a Will Bruder quote I heard while attending the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) during the Fall of 1999 - "Learn to master the trash can and you might become something" - It really resonated with me and has stuck with me to this day. I suppose for me the concept hit hard that although you can discard an idea, concept, sketch, design, whatever for a certain project you may be able to revisit it at a later date under different circumstances - In other words designs never die, they evolve, they hibernate, they circle-back but they never die...Or maybe he was just telling us to quit our ideas of becoming Architects and to go live in a public park somewhere; which, given the current state of the industry probably would not have been such a bad idea...

That is what this Blog will be for me - With over a decade in the industry I have come to realize that what I thought I would be doing on a daily basis and what I actually do are pretty darn different - BUT - I still have ideas, I still have hopes and I still have my creativity; So, I figured this would be a good outlet...I will share my thoughts on work and the industry as well as whatever moments of creativity I can muster - And, yes, at the direction of my Wife I will keep the swearing to an absolute minimum.

Cheers...B.

THINK DIFFERENT:

... You guys remember this? - Well read on after the first Pic and I will show you some serious different thinking - Definitely "Outside the Box" - Cheers:


[Full Disclosure]

... Okay, so I have to admit that I have owned my fair share of Apple products over the years but I My Wife and I transitioned our household to Android-based products around three years ago because we - How can I put this mildly? - Well, I guess you could say we got tired of Apple's "Upgrade or Die" mentality...Our 4th Generation iPod Touches essentially became bricks; installed applications could not update because of the OS the devices were sporting...Sure, they still play music but that is about it; WHATEVER Apple.

Anyway, we now sport matching Samsung Galaxy S4's and have an Android-based Tablet and are generally pretty happy people because Google employees the most brilliant individuals on the planet...

So, more to the point of this post - Have you heard about the Apple vs. Samsung lawsuit and resultant settlement? - If you have not, no biggie...Just "Google" it - See what I did there?

... But I digress, back to the post - I came across this article last month about just how Samsung paid their settlement to Apple:

That. Is. HILARIOUS.
