"Take your pleasure seriously" - The Eames
The Art & Science Museum currently has an awesome exhibit, "Essential Eames," which I visited over the weekend (the previous exhibit was also pretty amazing, The Art of Brick).
Charles & Ray were two pieces of the same puzzle -- meant for each other.
They loved each other.
They shared life together.
They created together.
I usually just associate chairs with Eames (we have several knock-offs around our apartment), but I learned this dynamic duo was so much more...
I live in a bit of an alternate world where coding skills are valued more than sportz skills. At Google, engineers are treated like gods. The rest of us make money to enable those gods to make cool shit.
I'm okay with this.
I don't have any grand delusions that I'll one day become a Google engineer. That being said, I've been hemming and hawing the past 2+ years about learning basic programming. I even forfeited $600 for a Berkeley "Intro to Python class" that I never got around to (I did, however, start dating my "study buddy" for the class, Alan).
All that being said, I've been super inspired by this artist's self-learning journey.
