carbon based design technologies

sitting behind a windows machine on a friday night watching old jon stewart shows, waiting for the c&c machine to finish.

heres a taste.

Got access to a C&C. Here’s a few ‘proof of concept’ tests i did, both trivits, one for larger pots & pans featuring our address (made of clear acrylic), and the other for placing the coffee upon, post brewing & well used (made of dual-ply milk-colored acrylic).

A few weeks back, after a rock-jump trip to the the prettyboy reservoir just north of baltimore, we stopped at a barbeque/grill place for some much needed refueling. In the mens room was a poster of ella fitzgerald singing to a crowd which included duke ellington in the front row, and benny goodman in the second. A quick search yeilded the photographer – herman leonard – and his amazing repertoire. Upon emailing these findings to my dad, he took it a step further and made a wallpaper out of Leonards photo of Lester Young’s famous pork-pie hat. Lester, a tenor saxophonist – like my father – was infamous for his cherished hat collection and, in particular, the pork-pie; even in the late 40′s, a pork-pie was a bit fox-passy. Needless to say, my father also owns and cherishes a collection, replete with a pork-pie.
