Metropolis

Everybody knows that Metropolis has Superman. They also have a newspaper, the Daily Planet. But did you know that a person can now read a cutting edge journal called the “Metropolis Magazine.” It can be found at http://www.metropolismag.com/. A recent issue discusses the growing trends and influence of BLOBJECTS. They did, however, forget to mention my blog. But the reading is interesting nonetheless. You can find the article here.

Some short quotes of interest from the article concerning blobjects I have listed below.

  • At once organic, tactile, and ergonomic, the blobject is inspired by the curvy shapes in nature--the human breast, a weathered stone, tear drops--but forged via cutting-edge technology.
  • “They offer an innate sense of optimism and hope.”
  • Blobjects are not stuck in old patterns of thinking. . .
  • “Blob(jects) can too easily be seen as superficial, but in reality they are the answer to marrying ecological concerns, emotion, cultural expression, and state-of-the-art technology

Wow. So what does that have to do with my blog? I hope they don't get me for false advertising.
