Is this information important? Can we still decide what is important? And it starts with this absolutely normal, everyday news. But now you encounter, at least in Europe, a lot of people who think, what in my life is important, what isn’t important, what is the information of my life. And some of them say, well, it’s in Facebook. And others say, well, it’s on my blog. And, apparently, for many people it’s very hard to say it’s somewhere in my life, in my lived life.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/05/age-of-the-informavo.html" target="_blank">Age of the Informavore - Boing Boing</a></em>http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234989546http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234989546Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:42:11 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksoyakV71i1qzokqbo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234971547http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234971547Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:15:56 -0500<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kso95t4V171qzokqbo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>When you need to just <a href="http://fauxfire.com" target="_blank">kick back and relax</a>.</p>http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234648473http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234648473Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:13:01 -0500<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kso8i6Qiuo1qzokqbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/the-tedglobal-program-guide.html" target="_blank">The TEDGlobal Program Guide | Blog | design mind</a></p>http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234637046http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234637046Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:58:54 -0500<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kso252heRq1qzokqbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap091101.html" target="_blank"> Cosmic Latté - The Average Color of the Universe </a></p>http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234510595http://bmdesign.tumblr.com/post/234510595Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:41:26 -0500<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kso22uOjvn1qzokqbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>An Te Liu: Board Games (Leona Drive Project)</p> <p>My thesis advisor.
