A Seattle intersection I’ve always liked
I’ll get to adding longer posts soon. But I just wanted to note some colors and shapes that I’ve always enjoyed seeing in Seattle.
I’ve always liked how the red and blue match and even if the afternoon sunlight washed out the blue numbers against the red wall.
And there’s the curve to the building as well as the gray pole’s height, the green street sign cutting across and white-and-blue sign in the background.
They’re here, in Seattle: Tofu Robots

In this case, everything aligned just perfectly.
A Chinese dragon shines in the sun
So my family and I helped the Seattle-area economy by purchasing this Chinese dragon while we were shopping at Uwajimaya, the Asian supermarket in Seattle.
We didn’t expect to buy it.
Isn’t that always the case when you tell yourself you’re just going to get food or gas?
From the yard: Two images, on a sunny day
The bird feeder in our yard is red. It contains water. But it is not a red lantern.
Speaking of colors, there once was a show called The Green Hornet, which featured Bruce Lee.
He often said: “Be like water.”
Get it?
Really, though, there is nothing to get.
Oh, yes. Speaking of colors, curry can be yellow, chili can be red and garlic stems are usually green.
And speaking of nothing, I found this dry, decomposing leaf, pictured below, in our yard. My son and I compared it to a full leaf.
My family and I were preparing our garden for warmer temperatures. The morning was sunny.
This year, in the Olympic spirit, we’re cheering for blueberries (two, really)
With the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada, I know that many athletes are pining their hopes on gold.
My family and I are with them in spirit. But we’re rooting for blue – as in the berry.
Why?
Well, you can’t eat a gold medal.
But home-grown blueberries are a delicious addition to a smoothie on a hot, summer day.
Thanks to those who keep their eyes open
I don’t know Charles Leung, who made this gorgeous one-minute time lapse video of the stars in the sky above Hawaii.
But each time that I spot an eye-catching video on Vimeo, I am grateful.
In the past, I’ve gone to Vimeo and found excellent videos about clouds, waves, ocean life and jellyfish.
Two words to the talented people who made these videos: Thank you.
DavidByrne.com: Truly worth visiting for color, sound, design, ideas, context, fun
Â
Feel free to click on one of the above songs by David Byrne – which he provided for free – and read along about the former member of the Talking Heads, artist, photographer and bicycle fan.
Obviously, he is a big wheel in the world. So, thank you for posting free music for the online masses.
I’ve come across many Web sites in recent years, as I survey news, design, corporate, architecture and advertising sites.
I thought of the former Talking Heads member when I was writing about design expert Roger Black and his work with big-name media outlets.
When I saw DavidByrne.com and its bold colors and photographs, I thought: Incredible.
Celebrate 2010 – with California jellyfish
Last year’s economic and financial rollercoaster, in all respects, prompted me to think of how to best welcome 2010 at TofuWatch.com.
Wise words from a philosopher? A pithy reference to classical Chinese poetry? An obscure nod to some long-forgotten slice of popular culture?
All of these ideas might have been good candidates during more normal times. Of course, the times are not normal. Time, the magazine, went with its pick of Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernake for its person of the year for 2009.
But anytime there are so many non sequiturs showing up in an economy, I believe that more non sequiturs should be added to the mix.
