MIT is Suing Frank Gehry

MIT’s Stata Center, Cambridge, MA (photo by jonas_k)
Last week John and I walked passed these buildings while walking through the MIT campus on the way to get a burrito at Anna’s. I don’t know why I didn’t take a photo (I’ve been lacking creative spirit a bit lately – that’s another post), but this photo is by jonas_k on Flickr. As we passed by John commented that the buildings are cool and I said they were “Gehry-esque.” The next day on the news I saw that MIT is suing Frank Gehry for negligence because the buildings are going to hell and having to be rebuilt now. I guess I was wrong when I said they were “Gehry-esque”…. they were Gehry.

The T, Cambridge, MA
MBTA is Boston’s mass transit system, but it’s better known as “The T.” The branding and signs for The T are so bold and simple. No wonder Dallas and Jess called the El and the Subway The T for so long after they moved from Boston.
This is the inbound MIT/Kendall stop on the Red Line as seen from my hotel room -

Anna’s Taqueria at MIT, Cambridge, MA
The last time Dallas and I were in Massachusetts we had one afternoon on our own in Boston and were trying to figure out where to eat. Dallas wanted to go get carnitas at Anna’s Taqueria because it’s his one true love. Besides me. And playing golf and watching sports. Anyway, I wanted to have seafood, so we went to Union Oyster House.
This week I’m in Boston for the User Interface Twelve conference and where’d I take JZ for lunch today? Anna’s (the MIT location). And what did I get? Carnitas. And then who posted a photo? Err..

When I attend SXSW Interactive I am refreshed. It’s not like I come home with 500 notes on tips and tricks, it’s more like I come back wanting to produce a higher quality of work. I guess that’s what happens when you spend a few days rubbing elbows with the web industry’s leaders. These are the panels and presentations I attended this year:
» Craigslist and Online Community
» Accessing Multimedia: The Object of My Perception
» Moblog Nation: You Can Take It With You
» MoveOn.org’s Eli Pariser and Zack Exley Keynote
» Wikwiki, What?
» Replacing Billboard, Bestseller Lists and Editors With Robots
» Hi-Fi Design With CSS
» Blogging Next: Where Personal Publishing Goes From Here
» Bloggie Awards Ceremony (if either Gothamist or Satan’s Laundromat won, I was to accept the award on their behalf. unfortunately neither won in any category that they were nominated.
