Have been reflecting a lot lately about the value of design/designers in my life. As much as I want to write about this idea, I suspect that the image above says it all. @joshdavey drew it with his finger using Penultimate for the iPad while our University crew headed up to @andrewlarosa's cottage for our weekend escape

What strikes me from this great sketch: as well as Josh captured his perspective -- and mine -- his unassuming work here says so much about his character.

Those who add value to the world around them never stop designing.

Submitted: @Tunglerocks T-Shirt Design Challenge

Above is my goofy submission for Tungle.me's sweet T-Shirt Design Challenge. I leveraged Kraftmedia's Product Templates for basic T-shirt vector files. The colour of the Fruit of the Loom T is Pink. I didn't get the typography right but you can find it (BP Diet) here.

A Nuke Only Four Feet, 18 Inches in Diameter

Media_httpuploadwikim_hgwul

"The B83 nuclear weapon is a variable-yield gravity bomb developed by the United States in the late 1970s, entering service in 1983…The bomb is 12 feet (3.67 m) long, with a diameter of 18 inches (457 mm); the actual nuclear explosive package… occupies some 3 or 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) in the forward part of the bomb case.”

Who knew a nuke could fit within a 3 or 4 feet container, just 18 inches in diameter?
