I didn’t think I would actually write three blog entries in a row … most of my attempts at journaling failed so far. I will try not to write just for writing’s sake, promised.

Had breakfast with my friend Christian, who just returned from an 18 months’ stay in San Jose, California (and whose apartment I’ve been renting since he had left). I’ve been through the same culture shock twice. It was good to get together and talk over freshly baked, warm German Brötchen (rolls) with delicious, home-made apple-blackberry-banana jelly. Only an hour ago, he rang at my door when I was almost ready to go to bed, asking if I would like to share a soup. Two nice meals with a friend in one day – very special.

In between, I went to the opening of the exhibition of the Saxon State Award for Design here in Dresden, where I was invited to do some presentations of Kaleidotype (which had won second prize). I was delighted to see Professor Rayan Abdullah again, professor for typography at the School for Graphic Design and Book Arts in Leipzig and member of the jury. (Incidentally, I once applied to the school for graphic design when I had just finished highschool, but didn’t get accepted.) Here you can see him play with the Kaleidotype software.
