Math Kills Creativity.
Day 25,
Have you ever heard about an engineer/writer?
A painter/accountant?
Math & creativity, just don't mix!
Creativity is all about becoming a child again. It's about freeing yourself from all those boundaries life puts on you. Not learning how to solve complex problems, inequations & all that jazz.
Math test tomorrow. Sitting in bed reading those exercises & feeling the little creativity I still have diminishing bit by bit.
Wicked maths.. QQ
I wanted to put a little "I KILL YOU" above Pi's head =P but I decided it would be way too cheesy. The simpler the better, eh ? =P

Anche quest'anno, a fine maggio Como ha ospitato nelle sue piazze i lavori creativi degli studenti di Como. Il tema di quest'anno era: "I Colori". Ed anche se la mia scuola non ha partecipato, la creatività cromatica e la voglia di stare insieme non sono di certo mancate!
Now, charging WITH the case is a bit more difficult. Because of the thickness of the case, the Qi charger needs to be pretty much dead on the center of the tablet - there is far less wiggle room.
Also, the case itself adds bulk to the sides of the tablet - as such, the Charging Apparatus needs to be a bit bigger than the tablet in order to hold the case as well. As long as the tablet can charge with the case on, it should be able to also charge with the case off - even with the extra wiggle room.

Dateline - PPG Place, Pittsburgh, PA
Went wandering with my camera around downtown Pittsburgh at lunch time today. Found myself near PPG Place so I thought I'd look for some opportunities to photograph reflections (lots and lots of glass in this building). So here I was, standing on a sidewalk next to a street composing this shot. Next thing I know a private security guard approaches and informs me that I am not allowed to take pictures of the building. I figured that I'm on a sidewalk next to a public road, what's the big deal. The guard said that, since 9/11 people are not allowed to photograph the building and that I was on private property. Hmmm, didn't know that a sidewalk next to a public road in the middle of a city was private property. I didn't argue (the guard didn't make the rule, he just tries to enforce it); I just stepped six inches away so that I was standing in the street next to the curb instead of standing on the sidewalk next to the curb. As I was composing this shot I could hear the guard calling for backup on his walkie talkie. Twas time to get back to work anyway so I didn't stick around to see if the guard was going to challenge me further.
Thing that bugs me..., how can PPG expect to prevent people from taking pictures of a 40 story building that was designed to attract attention to itself.
I think that Saturday, May 31, 2008 should be "Photograph PPG Place" Day and everybody with a camera and free time should show up around 10AM and take pictures of the building - from public property of course.
This shot was taken in a village not far away from Hyderabad. People were paking clay pots to sell at other places in the city.
I can just see the meeting now...
bureaucrat 1: What are we going to call this new building?
bureaucrat 2: Could we perhaps name it after the noble benefactor who financed it's construction?
bureaucrat 1: NO!
bureaucrat 3: What if we named it after an inspiring visionary who has shaped the progression of this field?
bureaucrat 1: CERTAINLY NOT!
bureaucrat 4: What about...engineering......TWO!
bureaucrat 1: I like it
bureaucrat 2: Yes!
bureaucrat 3: it has pizzaz, clever, especially because it's the second engineering building. And it certainly couldn't cause any confusion or undue complication when refering to rooms *inside* the building.
bureaucrat 2: hmmm, perhaps we could hide all the floormaps and number the rooms haphazardly with no particular ryhyme or reason?
bureaucrat 1: Perfect, that way navigation will only be possible through extensive experience and hard to come by insider knowledge. exquisite!
bureaucrat 5: Wait, what if we tore this entire concrete monstrosity down and replaced it with something that was interesting and visually inspiring, hell we could even use modern developments in energy conservation to make it environmentally sustainable. I mean we could use longstanding observations about innate human psychology to create a building that promoted physical and emotional health. In the long run the UC would save millions of dollars on energy and healthcare. I bet it would also attract the brightest and best students from around the world, improving our repuation and fulfilling our committment to educate the public.
bureaucrat 1: huh? i totally just zoned out during that.
bureaucrat 2: no i like the name. How about grey on grey for the sign?
bureaucrat 3: subtle...I love it! .....
Creativity pouring out the lobby...
