Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

If you have 15 minutes to spare and if you haven’t already, please watch this very inspiring speech by Steve Jobs. I couldn’t watch it without tears and feeling really inspired. Rest in peace, Steve Jobs, thank you so much for all you did. You will be forever remembered and honored…

DUMBO Arts Festival 2011 (Night)

I really enjoyed DUMBO Arts Festival again this year, here are some photos from Friday night (it was raining so much…) — first couple are from the Manhattan Bridge Archway area.

and I can’t believe I missed this “Immersive Surfaces“! Found the YouTube video of it, how incredible!!

This project was my favorite — Sweet Stream Love’s River.

Visitors are invited to send short love notes by sms from their smartphone, to be displayed glowing in the rippling surface of the “water”: a surprise for the person you’re with, a note of longing to someone you haven’t seen for years, but can never forget, a word of thanks or a pang of loss.

I participated it, too :) I didn’t get to see my text message there, though.

Love how the type comes out and goes out… see my video I shot here:

Leanne Marshall Takes on Fashion Week

Leanne Marshall Takes on Fashion Week from Etsy on Vimeo.

NY has been busy with Fashion Week, I saw this video Leanne Marshall Takes on Fashion Week and my thoughts are with her and all the independent designers who are doing their collections by hands with original ideas and sleepless nights. Very inspiring.

Irene in DUMBO

I hope all of you in East Coast had a safe weekend… we are okay, nothing really happened around us, thanks to God.

But few blocks away from us by the water in DUMBO did get some flooding (on Main Street and Plymouth Street), but the waters receded on Sunday and did no apparent damage. Found this video (by @barneyrobinson via DUMBO blog) and wanted to share!
