Quirky, Community Design
This website is pretty cool, love the idea of community input in design. Not totally onboard with the implementation of this idea, but what if we saw more things like this at a more local level? How could it change a community? How can we motivate people to use their ideas as citizens instead of consumers?

Apparently I’m only capable of falling in love with Swedish musicians these days. On a side not, the singer is from Kiruna, which is about as close to the north pole as you can get while still being in civilized land. I’ve been there, its really cold. And reindeer meat is a large part of the diet.

I need a new place to sit and study/ do work that has big tables, isn’t depressing, has decent lighting, isn’t teeming with hipsters (who I will alternate between checking out and getting pissed of at, which is a huge distraction), and is open late.
Octane (hipsters), my house (bad lighting), Caribou (small tables), and the GT library (depressing) are all out of the question. Anyone got any suggestions?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.
