Coffee=Bad Handwriting—-> Computer/Coffee industry conspiracy.
February 8, 2009

So I spent several hours of my day imbibing lots of coffee/doing homework. I realized that the amount of coffee I consumed had a direct relationship with how shitty my handwriting became. By the time i finished my fourth cup- I could barely write. This made me wonder if the advent of the typewriter and more recently the computer had some connection with the coffee industry.
I think it is far from sensational to say that there may have been collusion between the coffee industry and the industry behind the typewriter and computer. When a person drinks more coffee, they are likely to not use a pencil/pen as often- simply because it isn’t possible. However, as I am now proving- it is fairly simple to type (I feel as if my ability to type is perhaps even enhanced).
This just shows the flexibility of the coffee industry, and, not to mention the intelligence of the people who facilitate its development. Interesting huh? So, next time you buy a computer,you may want to consider how much more coffee you may end up drinking, and how much of and impact that may have on your wallet. It may not be a conspiracy, it just may be a fact.

SO, I’ve been obsessed with this guys art work. I often check Wooster Collective to keep up on my knowledge of street art- me trying to be hip.
So basically he takes pictures of people making goofy faces and blows them up and then puts them on buildings/surfaces that are in some location that makes a sort of statement. The picture above is most recent, a project done in Kibera Kenya, apparently it can be seen from google earth. He also did a project in the middle east showing faces of Israeli’s and Palestinians making goofy faces next to each other. Check it out, JR’s Website.
