ALERT. This amazing Donkey Kong coaster with the "hidden" track seems to be officially happening!!! Press Release: nintendo.co.jp/corporate/rele…
FYI, today's rendering seems to match 2019's leaked model! And the coaster looks to have a massive show building for indoor show scenes? Keep it up, Universal!!!
(Alas, the waterfall got "value engineered")
(Alas, my excitement for 2020 to arrive as quickly as possible was woefully misplaced )

I am glad Ferrari is partnering up with Jony Ive and Marc Newson, because FINALLY someone will design a car for multi-millionaires
(Actually, Marc Newson's Ford 021C concept was my dream car right around 2000. It's the perfect encapsulation of the style of that time, a Deee-Lite/CD-ROM/Dreamcast/iMac/Virgin Megastore car. I still want one today!!! But the Fun Design Train now only stops at Luxury Station ☹️)
Pivoting my lazy joke into a Ford 021C appreciation thread! The trunk opened up like a drawer! There was also a green one and I always wondered if it would have a different name, since 021C is Pantone Orange! The ceiling looks like it used electroluminescent wire lights, too good

Here's a quick story about design.

When I was a kid there was a funky, late-70's mall in downtown PDX called "The Galleria", in a converted department store.

The Galleria had an equally funky logo that I always liked as a kid — but also always made me feel a little weird.
The logo reminded me of other visuals surrounding my childhood, like the 7-Up signs at the corner store, or the "Pinball Number Count" sequence on Sesame Street (one-two-three four five!)

Eventually The Galleria closed, and later it became a Target, and the logo was history.
One day, fairly recently, I was talking to my parents about this lost logo and how it made me feel. And my dad goes down to the basement, brings this piece of paper up, and hands it to me.

Yeah. Turns out, my parents designed The Galleria logo.

🌠 Notes on a trip to Disneyland

• First, COVID. Masks weren't needed if vaccinated. Three of us are very lucky to be, but Violet is too young so she kept her mask on and we masked indoors with her. Seeing nearly zero masks freaked me out big time! Soon, it felt 100% normal? 😵‍💫 Image
• It's an AMAZING time to go with very little waiting. Why?

✅ Reservations only. No walk-ups.
✅ No FastPass. Just smooth-flowing standby lines. 😍
✅ Virtual queues for the biggest rides. Easily got "in line" at 7AM.
✅ No APs, limited capacity.

I hope some of this stays. Image
• This was my first time on Rise of the Resistance. I was going in spoiler-free (at great effort which was worth it), so I'll just say as a dark ride fan I was a physical electric vibration the whole ride. Imagineering at their peak.

No spoilers so here's Violet + Blue Milk Image

A moment of appreciation for some peak 90’s industrial design.

First, the LJN VideoArt. The angled, dockable controller is so good. The plastic slider to select your color is so good. The blue cord is so good. The system itself not so good. But great work, designers.
Second, and this is maybe as good as it gets: the View-Master Interactive Vision, which overlaid on your VCR and even downloaded rudimentary games from VHS tapes.

What can I say. It’s a work of art that belongs in a 90’s museum. The controller alone. My god.
The dots actually serve a purpose: they have vent slits in them to passively cool the insides. And that green square is the power button — just slide it down.
