Droog pt. 2

okay, i still don't trust Droog. But i figure i got to find some common ground, so i'll adopt some of their quotes.

"Droog stands for a luxury of content rather than luxurious materials."

this is almost a personal motto for me ^_^. I make jewelry out of anything- i've got plans for anything from a prayer locket made from plumbing parts to construction paper origami.

designs that: "change perspective on daily life, informed by the local context, yet in relation to urgencies on a global scale."

this makes so much more sense than what they said in the little brochure. i'm still not so good at the whole "look at the new world in a new way" thing, but i'll give it a try.

i like the hidden meaning show they put on in New York. i love puzzles, i even have a puzzle box in my purse (to be feature in a future "cool things" post) and i love finding the hidden meanings behind works of art. i did, however, find the Da Vinchi Code improbable, along with all of Dan Brown's very silly books.

some other things i like:
Trim your own glowing bonsai! :D
Cute little critters! (note on this: i appreciate the artist's effort and creativity. however, i do have a real problem with this: making things out of trash has become a big fad in the "craft" community now, and as such things like this have started to underwhelm me. they do show some specialness in that they actually have electronic and animated components.)
they look so squishy :P
