follow the links


not waking up until 1 pm pretty much guarantees a lazy day. but that doesn't mean it has to be unproductive. (in fact, it just means you'll be even more productive at 1 am.) this was the sequence of events after i finally rolled out of bed:

1. make a cup of coffee.
2. mess around on my laptop.
3. find this mysterious pdf on my laptop.
4. although i have no clue where it came from, it reminds me of a new city in korea that i learned about on the science channel the other day.
5. google "the immature arts of city design" in an attempt to retrace my steps.
6. find the link to the pdf.
7. go to a uc berkeley link instead.
8. they have an institute of urban and regional development? intriguing.
9. the institute of urban and regional development has a center for community innovation?
10. stumble across a new pdf to download. "building arts, building community"
11. start reading about "informal arts districts" in oakland, california.
12. get curious about this thing called art murmur.
13. come to this lady's blog entry about it.
14. admire the "we're totally fucked" print on her refrigerator in a picture.
15. google the artist: ryan jacob smith
16. skim through his work.
17. find out that he is contributing to an exquisite corpse book project. i didn't know there was such a thing in the works.
18. look at the list of artists contributing. there's a lot.
19. alyson fox sounds familiar.
20. ah! alyson fox of design sponge fame.
21. go back to exquisite book website.
22. wonder... what's this about also?
23. oh my gosh. that website is amazing.
24. start looking at some of their work. get really overwhelmed.
25. realize that i never finished reading that first pdf. and i now have a billion tabs open.

edit: links are fixed. sorry. i should have noted that the 1pm productivity plan does not guarantee accuracy.
