Just got it on my macbook pro. Plus I got 2 gig ram, so if things seem faster, I can't be sure if its the os or the ram. I like the perpendicularity of the icons...I don't quite "get" the meaning of the icons though. E.G., why is library represented by a classical temple?

Bethune HallBethune Hall is an old building on Main near Hertel. I did a couple years of art school there, back in 89-91 when it was part of UB.
It's for sale, so I called the number. 1.5 mill. It would probably cost that much to fix it, as it's pretty messed up. Still, it would be an awesome set of art studios.

Just saw a cool video- an autistic guy that drew a SPOT-ON huge aerial map of rome- after one 30 min helicopter ride. It was amazing. Youtube it!

Why google sucksIt seems that google is just a spam farm. If you click the first result in google, 99% of the time, it's spam. Maybe this is the way a new search engine will overtake google-by providing relevant results. Digg does this to some extent; if I'm looking for a site with decent css templates, google=spam but digg=relevance, with humans backing it up.

That sounds like a good idea. Another idea-vote for results, like on digg
Paul, get to work coding a new search engine!

I always wondered what would happen if you took a browser and wrote some module to have it pass the each result through a bayesian filter (like the kind that email client spam filters use) before showing you the result. You could train the thing, where you can say a search result is spammy, and the next time a similar result is retrieved, it would automatically be thrown out.

ad ideas
A couple ideas for Paul
paul - 02/22/08 17:10
Thanks Ben, I like the white one. I am not a fan of the centered bold black e, as my eye gets stuck there, I tried that before - that's why I uncentered the e.
I might switch to the white one, the only reason I wouldn't is that on a multipage pamphlet, the really black e causes the reader to stop on the page more than the white.
My idea was, they would be flipping, they see the black e. It forces tehm to stop on the page. THe uncenteredness makes them slightly uncomfotable, they following the direction of the uncentereness up and end up at the logo. Plus the uncenteredness makes it pop out in a slightly 3d fashion.
I think in general no matter what people will look at the page though because you should see the other adverts. They are very businesscardesque. I will post some exmaples from the 2006 pamphlet tonight.

Oh yeah? Who was it? I was in foundations mostly those years, got into printmaking and illustration in 90/91, I had Adele for MFA in 95/96
Hey, I had a friend who was an art student around that time in Bethune Hall. She was Adelle's student (print making, intaglio). The stories she told me about that place...
