Do not cover your ideas.

Wathever you think, think the opposite.

This is the cover of a book I’ve never read. It’s appealing to me nonetheless. It stands alone. The book is described as a daring attack on the way we look at our work and our world. Instead of the usual boring advice, Paul Arden is said to offer here daring quips, aphorisms and paradoxes - all seeking to revise what we hold as our ‘common sense’. May be I should read it.

I just discovered a “new year’s resolutions” blog: people’s resolutions sent by email, and uploaded in a uniform design, week after week. From the blog itself:

“Goals, aims, things to do, things to not do, all with as little words as possible. You might agree, you might disagree, you might relate, or you might not. Phrased in ways that don’t mean just one thing”.

A seminomad’s dream: your suite in nature trailer.

Designed by Axel Enthoven, the Opera folds out of the trailer in minutes revealing a sleek interior that includes hot and cold running water, a toilet, a simple stove, a wine cabinet and an espresso bar as well as two luxury beds that slide together at the push of a button, and an enclosed teak veranda.

I used to dream and draw this kind of moving homes when travelling by car as a kid. Impossible structures with wheels that always included a pool and an intimate sense of luxury and futurism. Looking at the Opera makes me go back to the days when I thought being a kid consisted in designing your future.
