“Bride Deanne and her now-husband drew the scenes out with chalk, and then Deanne’s brother-in-law took them in his driveway from a ladder. The scenes represent different parts of their relationship (like their first date at a TGI Fridays) along with a few silly scenes (like a kiss “under water”).” (via Make Your Own Backdrop) 
“Mid-2008, hoping at best to receive a signed photo from his idol in return, a young man named Adam wrote to Pete Docter, the award-winning director of Monsters, Inc. and, more recently, Up. In the letter he spoke of his admiration for Docter and, as an amateur filmmaker and huge Pixar fan, mentioned his desire to work for the studio in the future.” (via Letters of Note)

Prisoner’s Dilemma 
“Even if all computerized route maps eventually learn to mimic the most useful aspects of our homemade creations, we’ll keep drawing maps for one another and for ourselves. We’ll do it because we’ll come up with new things to chart and convey, and because we like to share our spatial understanding of the world.” (via Hand-drawn maps)

Alex AinslieI'm a recent Cornell CS MEng graduate interested in data, computation, design and their intersection. In 2009 I graduated early with an independent BA in Computing, Cognition & Aesthetics and a minor in French. My honors thesis examined the traces our Bluetooth-enabled devices leave behind in public space. I have spent the past three summers as an intern at Google working on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, and most recently goggles and mobile local search. I will join Google fulltime in August 2010. This site was born as a personal photo journal during a semester spent abroad in Paris and has evolved into a curated collection of links, text, and images. |
