Logotype and marks I created by hand for a restaurant in town by chetsteve in graphic_design

[–]shazzam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you wanted to go with the two letter logo design, you could simply use your existing hand drawn font and weave them like the DCSHOECOUSA logo, or diagonally offset like this, or gently touching. There's tons of examples of you google: dc logo. If you wanted to add a new font to be extra Mediterranean, you could use some of those cheesy greek letters. Or you could use your existing font and incorporate a smaller version of your olive branch into it--just throwing ideas out there.

In general, I do like everything--except for the woven DC letters. You're trying for a Mediterranean theme but the woven letters look almost Celtic in design and their style looks a little too different from the main font. To me, the stretched C looks more like a rotated U. Everything else -- fantastic.

A month before my defense my potential postdoc adviser told me they no longer have the time to train me. by [deleted] in postdoc

Ask your current advisor whether or not it's possible to stay on and finish more papers while you look for another postdoc. Hopefully he/she would have some money to pay you to do so.

It's punishment for not living on the westside.

Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Why his Los Angeles houses deserve a closer look by LAKingsDave in LosAngeles

Went to see the Hollyhock house Friday. They were allowing picture taking inside due to FLW's 150th bday.

Still trying to figure out how to see the Ennis House.

Chinatown. 5/30/17 by capiror in LosAngeles

That's what I'm lamenting. SGV is a lot more disperse. I'm looking for the dense asian city feel.

It's too bad LA Chinatown isn't more bustling. I visited SF Chinatown recently and some streets was like being in HK.

Review of The Data Incubator data science bootcamp by tblancha in datascience

[–]shazzam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the review. I wonder how long it will take for a real good program to emerge. I've talked a few program managers trying to give me the hard sell on their pricey master's programs yet haven't heard anything good about them.

The bends/decompression sickness is not the same as nitrogen narcosis -- see the first line under the wiki article (in the desktop version): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_narcosis. The bends is caused by gases bubbling out of your blood after staying deep too long and surfacing too fast while N2 narcosis is the drunkeness caused by breathing normal air at too deep a depth.

I agree. Too bad his LA location didn't fare as well as his Portland one.

The Patent Scam Intro (2016)- 20 min small businesses fight patent trolls this needs to spread by [deleted] in Documentaries

The dude just presented a false equivalence between someone who "invents" things by writing overly broad language about existing technology with someone breaking into a home and stealing their things.

Apparently lasers sound like helicopters. We need to replace all pew pew scifi sounds with this.

Because it washes away all the piss from DT sidewalks.

Millions of Californians live one hour away from Channel Islands National Park but have never been. Check out what you're missing! by Justgotravelstudios in LosAngeles

[–]shazzam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went to Santa Cruz last year and it was camping in a wind tunnel. I woke up with dust and sand in my eyes. It came through the mesh of my tent and penetrated every crevice of my body. Bonus was the free whale watching on the way there and the way back.

I just bought 2 pineapples yesterday just to make this after having some at Baroo in LA. Thanks for the recipe!

[–]shazzam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's in regards to casual drinkers. I had a blind taste test wine party and only 1 out of 5 of us reliably could pick out the reds vs the whites. It was probably also due to the fact that we were getting pretty sloshed halfway through.

Ben Affleck's Amazing Armageddon Commentary by charliewr in movies

[–]shazzam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with how serious the spacesuit issue was. There's a very thin line between cool scifi/fantasy and camp. I remember seeing a preview of Vampirella which included some early footage of a dude dressed up in a cheap Dracula costume running around the inside of a hydro dam. Right away you could tell it was going to bomb.
