In networking, even dead-ends count as legitimate travel (and distance covered on the way to destination)
Don’t die wondering

Underwater Sculptures

Jason deCaires Taylor is an internationally acclaimed eco-sculptor who creates underwater living sculptures, offering viewers mysterious, ephemeral encounters and fleeting glimmers of another world where art develops from the effects of nature on the efforts of man. His site-specific, permanent installations are designed to act as artificial reefs, attracting corals, increasing marine biomass and aggregating fish species, while crucially diverting tourists away from fragile natural reefs and thus providing space for natural rejuvenation. Subject to the abstract metamorphosis of the underwater environment, his works symbolize a striking symbiosis between man and nature, balancing messages of hope and loss.

Peter & Becky of Australia have perfected a Gradual shaping method, called “Pooktre”, which is the shaping of trees as they grow along predetermined designs. Setting up the supporting framework is the key task in getting a shape. Some are intended for harvest to be high quality indoor furniture and others will remain living art.

Things I wish I had been behind

There are a few things that make me wish I had been the creative genius behind them. If I was, it would be the ultimate fulfilling experience that one can ask for from a profession or livelihood. Having created them, I could say with absolute certainty, “The best is not yet to come. I’m done.” Then pick up my suitcase and go travel the world aimlessly for the rest of my life.

Yes, a lot of these things are made by a group of people, not just one person. But my intent is to put a benchmark on the vision and collective quality of work that went into making these. Here is the list:

Calvin & Hobbes
Google Earth
Apple iPod
MacBook Pro
iPhone
Costco
Harry Potter
Trader Joe’s
Carate & Barrel
