Cranies (sic)
I received one of the most beautiful SMS’s ever today. Is that how we say SMS in the plural? Doesn’t really matter.

Murmur
[Showing at the Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis, Minnesota now through August 23th, 2009] Murmur Study is an installation that examines the rise of micro-messaging technologies such as Twitter and Facebook’s status update.

Diversity
One of the greatest things about living in a city like Barcelona is the great diversity present in the streets. Not only do we hear Catalán, Spanish and their relatives, but also French, Italian, Turkish, German and occasionally English. So goes the joke: What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual What do…
