I saw this earlier this week from my Readwise review.

I was thinking about this poster recently with the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. About a month after the Russians squashed the rebellion, the Hungarians played the Soviets in water polo at the Melbourne Olympic Games. It was a bloody match that the Hungarians won the semi-final match and then won the gold medal after defeating Yugoslavia. Many of the players on the Hungarian team defected to the West after the Games.

My son created this poster for his printmaking class. He researched the event and saw archival footage. We had spent several days together in Budapest the spring before. I asked him to send me a picture of the poster since I was thinking about it recently.

Sobering reminder from a book I read a couple of months ago. Highly recommend Everything is Never Enough, a book examining Ecclesiastes.

I had a taste of Hungary for dinner last night and for lunch today. Csirkepaprikás (Paprika Chicken) with paprika from Szeged that some friends from church gave us. Just as good the second time around. I wish I had some zsemle bread to go with it.

This came up as one of my Kindle highlights today in ReadWise. Something I want to think about in my approach to projects. I feel like I have not been asking myself this question as much lately or thinking about what I could learn and apply something I have learned reading an article or watching a video.

I stayed up till midnight last night watching this game (Netherlands vs. Morocco). I started watching the game in the second half. I was pulling for Morocco as they were more on the attack and created more chances. I was excited to see them equalize late in the game. The penalty kicks were very dramatic. I couldn’t believe how many misses there were. Also feel for the Netherlands goalie who almost saved shot and ended up kicking the ball in.

Dan Cederholm created an homage to a hat once owned from Veer. I loved Veer products and had several freebies that I collected over the years, including a “Serif” button. It was a favorite visual pun of mine. I think I lost my favorite Veer button which was on my shoulder bag for years. But I cannot recall what the button was. I think it had a black background and gray or silver foreground.

I came across this on Facebook at the beginning of April. I would love to do something similar for a front-end developer. It represents all the things an architect needs to think about and balance in a design. A front-end developer has a lot of different things that they need to think about as they build a webpage.

I saw this over the weekend and it made me laugh. Reminds me of our architecture class juries. Some people knew how to pile it on very thick.

I had created a new hero image for a page on the Revive Our Hearts website. My team leader said that the tree made him think of the one that “eats” the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings. “I keep looking really closely in the roots for a face.” I couldn’t resist going to Photoshop to create a new version.

“Put it on the site. ?” I asked him if he was being serious (I didn’t think he was.) “hehe… just kidding. But I did consider it since that area of the photo is blurred”
