Call meJeffrey

Easy on the eyes

Here’s a question: how do you take a busy street and make it less hectic? Actually, lemme rephrase that: how do you take a busy street and make it seem more chaotic? The answer is you add noise.

The illusion of security through technology

I recently got some new licence plates, and when they arrived I noticed that my registration had an error on it. My driver’s licence number was incorrect and my vehicle type was wrong. I didn’t worry about it much because I was going to have to get a new registration sticker at the end of the month anyway, and figured I could fix it then. Still, I was really curious as to how an error like this could occur. I double checked the registration of my old plates and it was correct. I double checked my driver’s license which I recently renewed. Nope, same number. So, what gives? How could the number mysteriously change? Doesn’t this fall under “sensitive information”? I don’t expect that my social security number would randomly change on an official document, so I would assume this wouldn’t either.

Let’s put an end to the junk, shall we?

I’m going to say something that I know everyone can agree with: I hate junk mail. Fliers, catalogs, direct-mail, advertisements, circulars, weeklies. I hate them all. Beyond them being a nuisance to city dwellers who have micro-mailboxes, I can’t even image the strain it all has on the planet. Before you dismiss this whole thing, keep in mind that I’m the furthest thing from a tree-hugger. I don’t like being outdoors much, I eat meat, I drive an SUV, and when I’m done with this can of Sugar-Free Red Bull I’m drinking – I’m going to throw it in the trash, and it will end up in a landfill. I’ll be the first one to admit that my problems with junk mail are that it annoys me, and it’s bad for the planet… in that order. However, what type of person I am shouldn’t play into whether or not something should be done about the problem.

  • Some call me a tattooed metal-head with a mind for innovation, an eye for design and nose for tomfoolery. I call myself a tireless design enthusiast, a lover of community and food, a maker of things. As for you, just call me Jeffrey.
