NY Times: Russia Asks Schwarzenegger to Help in a Tough Task

President Dmitri A. Medvedev who appears to be an "avid blogger" was able to reach Mr. Schwarzenegger via Twitter and requested for him to help modernize Russia. Mr. Scharzenegger, government of California and very known as "the Terminator" agreed. This is good to my opinion because we have the ability as Americans to help other countries. After all, we share the same earth.When you help another, you realize what could be done better as well in you own properties.

My daughter was helping me with an underground for my painting. It all starts from when they are young... :)

NY Times:

I read an article in the New York Times; "Family Fight, Border Patrol Raid, Baby Deported"
This article shows the issue of deporting people out of the United States with out being fair about the people's own personal rights. The lady in this article has her child and father of her child deported, out of the US. Meanwhile, her daughter was a legal citizen of the US, and so is she. She did not see her child for years, all because of the decisions that the court made and I find that to be completely obnoxious. They need to be more considerate about all. The United States was made out of immigrants! 

NY Times: A Personal Robot For $400,000

A personal robot is being sold for almost half a million dollars. It is called, the PR2 and its Nick Bilton's, a reporter, desire to have it.
People would love to buy an object like this because they feel it would be convenient. That is what our society tends to be about; convenience. Hereby they don't realize how much money is being lost, when it could have been used for purposes that to my opinion make more sense, like helping the poor, reducing gas prices etc.

"The best way to get to get a GOOD idea is to get a LOT of ideas..." -Linus Pauling

Some agree, yet some disagree. I definitly agree with this statement because I believe that if you have a lot of ideas put together, you will have a bunch of good and bad and it'll be easier to choose in the end. Now don't get me wrong, I don't thinnk this means we are talking about making decisions. That is different from idea, because you need an idea before you make a decision. But you don't nessecary need many options to make a decision.

Social Design...

This world that we live in is filled with art. I'm sure you've heard that plenty of times before. Social Design to me has to do with any type of art that we involve with in our everyday life. It can start from a simple poster that is hanging on a wall, to something as big as the tallest tower on earth. They are all part of art, but they are meant for people's attention. For instance, a poster is hung on the wall because people are invited to an event. On the other hand, it is amazing that the same paper we use to just lay on a table and write one, we use it as a display as well, this time not laying, but hanging and it serves many purposes and at the same time is a decoration for attention.
I personally believe social design as many meanings as well, for instance we use design in our social life... as well as we design to get more people's attention.
