Tomorrow marks the 7th anniversary of this blog, a blogiversary if you will. It all started with a simple post featuring a tap dancing cow Putting on the Ritz. It’s hard to believe that was 7 years ago!

Dancing…and writing…into the New Year

The focus on blogging has changed in the writing world over the last seven years. Today, Authors spend the majority of their time working on their next project, and very little on blogs. Personally, I enjoy the immediate gratification of writing and posting a short piece and will continue here…though less frequently.

Here’s to a New Year filled with ridiculously spectacular accomplishments!

Mooo-ve over, the best is yet to come!

The ending of one year—one complete circle of our planet around the sun—and the beginning of another. Milestones in the passage of time cause us to reflect on our past and speculate about our future. Time.

What is time, anyway?

A concept humans cling to in order to create structure from the chaos of the universe. Einstein proved time is relative. At the speed of light, time stops.

An award-winning art installation unveiled at Milan Design Week in April 2014 brought Einstein’s theory into concrete reality.

Frozen Time

Light is Time is an art installation developed by Tsuyoshi Tane of DGT Architects. Featuring 80,000 suspended main plates—the basic component of a watch—to create the illusion of frozen time that people can actually move through.

If there were no light, then there would be no time. In the 20th century, mankind digitized time, measured it and continued to economize our time, until eventually we forgot about its relationship with the essence of light. Without light we never would have had the wonders of the universe, the richness of our planet or the joy and pleasure of our lives. “LIGHT is TIME” — the manifestation of light’s return to time — is our great challenge of the 21st-century. – Tsuyoshi Tane (DGT)
