no one belongs here more than you

Writer/director/performance artist Miranda July

released a new book and put together a

wonderful little website for it. Funny and different,

it shows us how simple is great.

everyone we know')

eat smart

Ok, we won't lecture you on the food you

eat...but how about what you eat it with?

we left our hearts in mountainview

To continue on with sharing studio members travels,
this post is about Katie B and Todd H's recent California
Adventure.

The two set out to see corporate campus space for a project
and were able to tour the mother of all Silicon Valley Dot
Com spaces.........GOOGLE.

And it was eye opening. Google has implimented a very
progressive and responsible workplace culture in their
Mountainview, CA campus. Everything from no garbage
in their food service facilities (compost or recycle) to colorful
bikes all over campus to get you to your next meeting.

Take a look at the below photos and stay tuned for a case
study on the facility.
