I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

ORIGAMI.

Check out the art of Robert J. Lang. He is an origami specialist, Origami is of course, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of square paper. Lang takes the artform to another level. Interested in trying? He even provides the fold lines to follow. Good luck!
Robert J. Lang氏のアートをチェックしてみて下さい。彼は日本の伝統的なアートである折り紙のスペシャリストです。このアートの目標はたった一枚の四角い紙をできればのりやはさみなどを使わずに、幾何学的な折り目や模様を使って、オブジェを作り出すことです。Lang氏の作品は普通の折り紙アートとは違います。やってみたいですか?折り線まで書いてくれました。Good luck!

There was a New Yorker article about Origami, or more like the WORLD of Origami, I usually never read those 10-15 page articles in the NYer but this blew me away, I didn't realize how crazy THAT world was. Imagine that? A bunch of mathematicians folding paper into the most amazing sculptures you'll put your eyes on? Yeah, do it, NO, SERIOUSLY, IMAGINE IT, NOW!!!

You should look up David Huffman. Before he died in 1999, he was a professor of computers at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He pioneered and developed computational origami and developed some of the most amazing origami ever seen. His interpretation of the art is unlike anything seen before. It will blow your mind.

Funny, I was just going to mention the New Yorker article, too!

It was such a good read, but Susan Orlean always makes what would seem like the most mundane subject interesting. She wrote a great article about 10 years ago about Orchids that became the source for the movie "Adaptation".
