13,463,820,000 kilometres away, at this moment,
a message from Earth is moving out of everything
we know, and into everything we don’t.
And it’s carrying instructions on how to get back.
"…NASA placed a more ambitious message aboard Voyager 1 and 2-a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth."
The Voyager One space probe is now passing through the Heliopause, the boundary between the Heliosphere (a protective bubble encapsulating the solar system) and moving out into interstellar space. An unimaginable distance away, this object, and the message it carries (engraved on the golden record) represents the farthest reach of humanity in the universe.
Pretty neat, eh?

2010|365: A Design Project
In an effort to keep from getting creatively stagnant as I go through the course of a 9-5 design job, as well as staving off general laziness, I’ve undertaken this personal project.
Every day, rain, shine or somewhere inbetween, I will be making something cool. The results may be photos, design pieces, experimental type, videos, or anything else I feel is worth showing. The only caveat will be that each piece will have to be made that day, even though it might not get posted on the same day.
The end result of the project will be a book (possibly 365 pages long, maybe shorter to reduce costs), which I will make available to anyone who wants to pay for one.
You can track the project at the 2010|365 website or check out everything else I get up here.
