When it comes to analogies regarding design and communication I find no better inspiration than from this man….
The highest technique is to have no technique. My technique is a result of your technique; my movement is a result of your movement. A good JKD man does not oppose force or give way completely. He is pliable as a spring; he is the complement and not the opposition to his opponent’s strength. He has no technique; he makes his opponent’s technique his technique. He has no design; he makes opportunity his design.
The moral? Be a good listener and an ever better responder…
“The new “art” of graphic design is concept; since anyone can learn design basics and mimic styles. With that said, bite all you want! But good luck with mimicking a unique thought process.”
Paul Reber, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, responded to this question submitted to Scientific American:
The human brain consists of about one billion neurons. Each neuron forms about 1,000 connections to other neurons, amounting to more than a trillion connections. If each neuron could only help store a single memory, running out of space would be a problem. You might have only a few gigabytes of storage space, similar to the space in an iPod or a USB flash drive. Yet neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain’s memory storage capacity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes). For comparison, if your brain worked like a digital video recorder in a television, 2.5 petabytes would be enough to hold three million hours of TV shows. You would have to leave the TV running continuously for more than 300 years to use up all that storage.

Disposable razor blades can cost $4 a pop and last only a few weeks, but Terry has been going for 20 months on the same cartridge. And yes, he still has a face. How does he do it?
When he notices his blade getting dull, he rubs it on his forearm in the non-cutting direction for about 10 strokes. This is all you need to keep the blade honed and sharp. You can also rub it against the heel of your palm.
I myself have decided to go with a double-edge safety razor. For around $15 bucks you can get a bulk pack of 100 blades and that should last anyone at least a year (you can get the blades on Ebay for cheaper sometimes as well).
