I am currently attending the course “Issues and Topics in Design” at Ryerson University. This course helps me to broaden my horizon and to get basic design skills. As pictures look not that good on my blog, I opened a photostream on flickr. Enjoy my work and I am open to feedback.
Der Rebell.Art Blog bezeichnet dieses Meisterstück in Guerilla Marketing als toll aber auch “sehr gefährlich”.
From the 8 - 10 th February are Student Union Elections at Ryerson. This time I follow the election passively instead of be engaged actively. Nevertheless I support the team Students United because they not only provide useful services for the students, they also try to lower the fees for the students here in Ontario and they deal with several progressive issues.

The conservative Prime Minister of Canada, Seven Harper, shut down the parliament (prorogue) to prevent investigations in the issue of not preventing torture of Afghani detainees. Furthermore he wants to shine in the light of the Olympic Games in Vancouver. As a political person, I joined the demonstration in Toronto this saturday that demands the end of the prorogue. Surprisingly I found a picture of an australian friend and me in the Ryerson Newspaper “EyeOpener”:
One of the responses of my facebook posting that the movie “Avatar” is an optical fest was a interesting link from a friend:
Stream online music instead of storing ton´s of MP3´s on your own computer. I personally find this service quite useful. http://listen.grooveshark.com.
Last term I attended the course Public Administration I here at Ryerson University. The textbooks are very expensive here. So I try to sell some of my old textbooks from last semester, but I will keep the Public Administration textbook. It is from Gregory J. Inwood and it is one of the best textbooks I bought so far. To fully understand the tension between the bureaucracy and the exekutive, Inwood refers to the BBC TV-Comedy Series “Yes, Prime Minister“. For those who are interested in politics, this TV-Series is full of hilarious moments. You can find a lot of episodes on YouTube.
I discovered this outdoor art piece on the rebellart blog. The original picture is from the Torontoist Blog which
“focuses on absolutely everything interesting related to Toronto, including news, arts, events, culture, transit, politics, photography, advertising, street art and graffiti, food, and a whole lot more.”
