I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?
like whatever..

SO much exciting news. Ike Reilly has a new digital release coming out 2 May, yay!
But this is more architectural: I'm not sure where else to post it, so here it is. There is going to be a re-issue of the Eames childrens LCW chair!!!
and here is the totally adorable, utterly irresistable chair:
An original of this chair was displayed in the Eames exhibit I did in Philly last summer. The original of course was a prototype only, it was never produced, and was natural plywood with a gorgeous patina. We displayed it next to a regular full-size adult LCW, as you can see in this pre-show image:
This pic gives a sense of the scale of the tiny adorable thing. I dreamt of it being reissued when I saw it, yay!
Now I dream of owning two original modern icons (not the reissue though this one is sooo cute): this chair and the Eames plywood screen. Will never happen but I can dream.

Gosh you guys have been busy tonight. I need some sort of text message that alerts me when an interesting conversation is going on. And, as per usual, liberty bell brings it full circle.....thanks, dear.
Myriam- I might be a suntan brat, but I get my work done.
Hard work is no good unless pointed in the right direction maybe you guys are working too hard in the wrong direction and therefore don’t have the time to tan

OK enough of this sheri24 person, Heather Ring is really starting to piss me off. She is apparently stuck in the same cultural vortex as I. McSweeney's, The Onion, Harper's, NYTs, This American Life, The Daily Show, and now, linking to the New Yorker before I have received my copy in the mail! Bah!
I once sent an email to This American Life asking why I had seen/ heard several of the same things in Harper's as well as their program, apparently they share interns. I can't seem to get any information outside my loop! Is the world really this small? I'm going to go watch Fox news now. (Who am I kidding? I'm listening to archived This American Life shows.)

This sheri24 person cannot be real, your right myriam. The picture is well chosen though. She's hot. As I said before, not the hottest architect (since the crown is already taken) but hot still. I should have come back to this thread before...
So FOG Lite, maybe youguys should try to get together somehow? Maybe we should revive the archinect crushes thread? What do you say?

You guys are hilarious specially this myriam girl and aml,
I think you guys would have been better of working as detectives.
Don’t be so bitter, someday you guys will make it.

SS- I’m referring to all these bitter people on this site, so what if I ask something that you might have more knowledge about, will that make me dumb, because I’m asking, and I don’t know?
You guys are just so rude, as the doc said - most of you will be stuck in your stupid idiosyncrasies for the rest of your lives making $12 an hour

Apr 20, 06 7:22 am
look sheri, the issue here is that u came up saying u were a student and this was your thesis project (your words)
this means, in general therms, that you are a 25 year old person who has been studying Architecture for at least 5 years.
which u are not. you are a teenager with an highschool project. there is nothing wrong with that. but people judged your questions as if they were coming from an almost qualified professional, and therefore they sounded a little, well, unqualified. someone with that experience could probably look a few pics of the house and draw a pretty accurate plan.
if you had been honest about who you were and what you were doing, people would have been al lot more simpathetic and helpful. you came across as an adult acting as a 14 year old, which is annoying. if you had come across like a 14 yo acting AS a 14 yo, it would have been different.
yes, most of us will be stuck discussing useless philosophical musings for the rest of our lives, but we love our jobs, so fuck it!

Special shout out to sporadic, who not only fixed my link (what the hell was that about anyway), but then cracked me up by linking to Thread Central (like the neverending mirrors...), and who lives in a MySpace-free world. Enjoy your concert as much as possible, sporadic. I would suggest lots of alcohol. Also, as I am the official spokesperson for "Crash", I highly recommend it. Some people said that it was too preachy but for the full cinematic experience, it doesn't get much better than this movie, IMO.

back to city of lakewood for those who have been following the story;
this morning i got a call from head planning boss who is also in the review board and he apologized for my experience and they are prepared to approve my plans as submitted and he even likes the lexan cover in the front and he understood my design intend and he told me they have also catagorized my project as a creative approach sample, bla bla bla.
one letter solves many problems and architects role in the community is reminded to them. i feel accomplished.

Erin Williams
Apr 20, 06 2:55 pm
woohoo Orhan! Where in lakewood will the project be?
Auguste- that depends on what it is you've been 'communicating' ;) Ground rules.... 1)no arranging a meeting for any purpose, esp. not sex, 2)do not mention sex around sheri, 3)even if you get really mad, never say, "fuck you", or "fuck off", or "go fuck yourself", because it could be misconstrued.
I actually knew one of those guys. Apparently, he'd asked the 'girl' (who turned out to be a 40 year old detective) whether she had braces, so he could be sure his equipment would be safe, before arranging a meeting with her within two hours of meeting her online. Wierd thing was, I always saw him as a very solid/together sort of guy, no hint of instability whatsoever. Though I could see where he might have trouble getting laid, being short and having prematurely receding hairline. But still. Jesus Christ was that a shock to open the paper to that and go, "wait, is that?....."
