I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...
I am terrible with titles. I need to come up with a better title for this one. *_*
It rained again today.. boo :(
I hope it does not rain this week so I can go out with my friend and take photos. Come on Canada, get your weather together.
I thought about whether to upload and map this shot, because people steal peregrine eggs. But these birds aren't hard to find if you have Google, so I'm just adding to what's already out there.
A tramp saw me looking at the church, so I explained I was looking for the falcons. He fetched some binoculars from another tramp and showed me where he thought the birds were nesting. I think he was just seeing pigeons flying in and out of the arches, but I might be wrong. He said that to see them you have to be a bit "slowly slowly catchy monkey". Yep, that's true - it's best to be patient. He asked my name, so I told him. He shook my hand. I asked his name. He laughed, tapped his nose, and said "Sly".
He tried to recruit me into tramping too. He asked me what I did for a living. I told him about my PhD. He then said "you don't like it though do you!" "You want to be a travelling tramp like me!" ;-) I'll stick with my PhD I reckon. Thomas Pynchon wrote some nice stuff about tramping in The Crying of Lot 49. It's like a whole flipside existence. (Tramps have binoculars!!!). Some people choose it too. It's not for me though.
There was also a very loud fight going on with some tramps while I was taking this shot. As I was shooting the peregrine, someone was on the ground getting kicked. Lots of shouting and swearing. Lots of kicking.
(After thinking about this shot... I can find a much better vantage point next time. Hope to get on an eyeline with the bird! Might mean I have to stand around with the tramps though. Maybe that would work out okay. A dozen pairs of eyes are better than just one pair. Maybe. Maybe not.)
A weird thing was that pigeons were nesting right underneath the peregrines. I've heard the phrase 'keep your friends close but your enemies closer', but that's taking it too far. Pigeons should create their own saying: Never ever nest underneath a peregrine.
These stamps were issued in October 1988 as part of a "Special Occasions" booklet.
Imagine getting a greeting card or letter in the mail with one of these stamps used for postage. Would that brighten your day? How can we add a little color to our greetings today?

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

In the Design Thinking course, students work in teams to construct ping pong ball roller coasters to learn about teamwork, prototyping, and how to “think with your hands.”
This year’s roller coaster themes included “A Day in the Life at Dartmouth,” “The Story of Harry Potter,” “The Life Journey of a Kernel of Corn,” and many more!
Students in this project-based course are not only engineering majors, but come from all corners of campus and academic backgrounds.

Tapping Into Popularity
Tricks, Effects and Pieces
The Workshop
Psychological Artistry
You Can't Believe What You See
What Others Say
Hi,
We now have the dates for the Sleight of Mind Set workshops in 2013. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. See www.mindsways.com/SMS for more information.
We can learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. We can also use mind magic to illustrate human nature and our psychology. Adding psychological artistry to your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into the enduring popularity of magic and psychology.
Tapping Into Popularity & The Personal Touch
If you look at the most popular "tags" in Amazon, you will see standing out the terms "magic", "mystery" and "paranormal". See www.mindsways.com/SMS for the image. In today's environment, we have to be able to be heard above the noise and stand out if we are attract people. By tapping into psychological artistry and mind magic, you are mining a rich resource that has popular appeal.
Over the past 18 months I have also noticed a trend, as the power of technology expands and we are surrounded by screens of all sorts, we value face to face interactions and the personal touch much more. What we focus on in the workshops, is combining using your head (smart thinking) and the personal touch. It is all about contributing to your reputation and adding value to what you do.
When you engage using mind magic and psychological artistry, you are tapping into;
People's passion, fascination and curiosity
Mystery and true difference
What makes novelty and newness appealing
Their crystallised knowledge and enhancing fluid knowledge
Cognitive fitness ideas by creating a workout for their brain
Tricks, Effects and Pieces
On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we talk about the difference between tricks, effects and pieces. Briefly; a trick is a clever puzzle, it becomes an effect when it is presented and surrounded by story, meaning and/or emotion. It becomes a piece when the effect is woven into the very fabric of your personal brand and delivery. It then has the power to command attention, illustrates and communicates what you are about, allowing you to stand out.
The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop aims to give you a sound knowledge of the ideas, tools and techniques that form psychological artistry, but also quality material that you can add to your delivery (you get the SNT kit and the SMS package, see www.mindsways.com/SMS for more info). The day builds your own critical thinking skills, and provides new perspectives that allow you to step away from your own bias.
Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop.

What Do You Get On The Workshops?
On the day, you will get the SNT kit, the Sleight of Mind Set kit, which give you the 20 plus physical gimmicks and illusions we explore on the day. You will also get written notes, copies of the presentation we use and access to the online training material for the SNT kit, all included in the fee for the workshop. All of these items are entertaining, informative, engaging and practical for you to apply to your delivery.
Using the materials from the SNT and SMS, you will discover a wealth of practical, real world techniques that can be applied to coaching, training, consultancy, presenting or therapy.
Psychological Artistry
A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry.
You Can't Believe What You See, But You See What You Believe
It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks. Easy, but wrong. They happen to you every day, in almost every activity you can think of. They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;
Our Identity (How you see yourself)
Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)
Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)
Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)
Our Personality (Who you are)
And our very essence. Illusion will play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think. To learn more about illusions and how they are linked in your life, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

The Designer Spotlight (held on Jan 28) is an open-house style event, presented a few months before the annual KPU fashion show, as an opportunity for industry and media to connect with graduating designers.
The event gives potential industry employers a chance to meet emerging designers, ahead of their graduation, before they begin to explore employment opportunities.
This year, guests had a unique opportunity to view student portfolios, displays, fabric swatches and colour palettes that conveyed the in-depth research, business planning and design thinking that is going into developing the thesis-level collections that will be presented at the upcoming year-end fashion shows (April 6th & 7th).
Featured collections will include seasonless apparel for those who live a genderless or non-binary lifestyle; clean and effortless eveningwear that encourages considered buying; menswear that combines formal and casual business wear using technical elements for function and comfort; clothing based on the philosophy of slowness and the principals of wabi-sabi; luxurious evening gowns that fuse local art with fashion; and surfing apparel for west coast women utilizing sewfree technology and soft circuitry.
