Happy Canada Day, 2007
1 Jul 2007It’s July 1, meaning that it’s time for Canadians around the world have launched into their recently re-invigorated day of jingoistic pride. Living next door to the definition of jingoistic pride has set the bar pretty high, but based on the last couple of trips north, great strides have been made since we left our [...]

Leadholder Lust
9 Apr 2007Some would call it old school. I call it classic.
I love pencils. They have a depth of emotion that you can’t get with any pen. But the highest standard in industrial pencils are not the 0.5mm mechanical pencils that everyone uses. No, it’s the 2mm leadholder.
I first used these in my drafting overview in Grade [...]
Pierzchala.com: Re-Design
1 Apr 2007I have been playing with my personal site, Pierzchala.com, and finally set the re-design loose last night. The last time I touched the layout was 2002 (I think), and it was all done in tables. The new design uses CSS, and makes controlling the layout so easy.
And, thanks to Matt Mullenweg, the header logo rotates [...]
I am spending most of my non-work time reading and discovering about modern design and architecture. As a result, I have started a new blog to isolate my thoughts and ideas on these topics.
Come over and join the conversation at blunderWERK Design Notes.

Dear Dwell: A blog needs a feed
22 Feb 2007Just found that Dwell magazine has a blog.
Ooops! A pseudo-blog. No feed.
Dwell: Get with the program.
UPDATE: Apparently it does! There is an RSS graphic at the bottom. But that’s not the feed link. Oh no!
You have to click the image to go to a page that has the page that has the RSS feed in [...]
What’s an architect?
16 Feb 2007I am fascinated by architecture and design. I have no idea how an architect does what an architect does. I can truly say that I have not knowingly met an architect in person.
How lame is that?

Addictions on Glossy Paper
11 Feb 2007For some, it’s ether; others, mescaline.
For me, it’s modern design and architecture magazines on glossy paper.
Feel the silky smoothness — empty the mind — buy — it’s what everyone — strange rumors.

LUST: Phaidon Design Classics
5 Feb 2007I ANYONE wanted to buy me something that would make me worship the ground they walk on, the Phaidon Design Classics would be the thing.
This is a series of three volumes that contain 999 of the modern design classics. It’s one of those things that you have around, you pick up, and you go “wow”.
But [...]
It’s as though the museum exploded from the ground, and the house was too close to avoid its gruesome, and humorous, fate.
