Another super amazing website from Got Milk? The previous version Get the Glass was also pretty amazing. There is also another version in Spanish called "Toma Leche" that is also worth a look.

The campaigns are also pretty funny, 'White Gold' is ultra cool!

This site supported an exhibition 010101: Art in Technology Times at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art a while ago.

When I was 24 my friend and I wrote ourselves a letter 10 years into the future. In it we talked about how we felt in that moment in time and also what we hoped for the future, our goals and dreams.

As the years passed our friendship dissipated into a memory but when I turned 34 I received a letter that had been addressed to my parents place. I didn't open it right away, even though I felt an excited anticipation and at the same time hesitation for what the letter might contain.

I needed to wait for the right moment. Two days later I broke open the wax seal and immersed myself in a journey to the past. The interesting thing about the whole experience is not what the letter contained but how I sounded to myself. In ten years I had evolved into quite a different person, I guess it's to be expected, however you never really analyse yourself in that way. It was an insightful experience that I think I might try again.

So what brought on this nostalgic blog entry? This website which I just stumbled upon called Future Me , a site in which you can send an email to yourself into the future. If you're feeling slightly voyaristic check out the public entries, some of them are quite touching.

Awesome pattern library!

Ray Bradbury is the author of more than 500 published works—short stories, novels, stage plays, screenplays, TV scripts, poetry. Exploring become his oxygen and the secret of his prolific creativity. Bradbury told Jack Foster that he had read a short story, an essay and a poem every day since childhood.

"If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines and music," Bradbury said, "you will automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful. I have never had a dry period in my life because I feed myself well." Make an exploration list for your life.

Fill it with readings, films, music. Excerpted from "zing! Five steps and 101 tips for creativity on command" by Sam Harrison, MacHillock Publishing/IPG Distributors.

I just came across this online gem called ChangeThis. The site contains a plethora of mind stimulating articles that are beautifully presented in PDF files.

Richard Sarson is a graphic artist based in London, his website features some really nice pieces of work. Reminds me of the spirograph that I used to have when I was a child.
