Five Whys

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 08:53:08 -0700

Five Whys “is the Japanese philosophy of repeatedly asking why to find not only the direct sources of your problems, but also the root of those sources. It's about thinking long-term and looking both ahead and behind, not just in the present.”

It’s about design and society.

Garfield minus Garfield

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:11:34 -0700

Garfield minus Garfield “is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.”

It’s also funny.
