The Design Disease
Just had to mention this awesome blog post here about the "Design Disease". Some guy in London giving a visual tour of what it feels like to be obsessed with design: words, numbers, objects, colors... you name it.
I think Seattle is chock full of such people. But over here we're lucky enough to have it span a wide range of things... Yes, you've got the interesting signs, sights, and people of Capitol Hill and Fremont, but you can't help but see the design in nature itself... Looking over deep choppy water to a beautiful sky split purple/blue right through the middle, backdropping snow-capped mountains with the sun's rays pushing their way through (*sigh* that was long...) ...can't help but get your jaw to drop.
And in case you don't know what Seattle artsies look like, here's a really good Flickr ablum and website of some of them. :)
