Copernican principle

The mediocrity principle is worth reading also.

bestofwikipedia:

In physical cosmology, the Copernican principle, named after Nicolaus Copernicus, states that the Earth is not in a central, specially favored position. More recently, the principle has been generalized to the relativistic concept that humans are not privileged observers of the universe. In this sense, it is equivalent to the mediocrity principle, with important implications for the philosophy of science. (via Remy)

If you don’t live in Rhode Island, then you probably have no idea what this is. This is a little piece of frozen heaven in a cup.  Rhody is the only place to have Del’s & it’s a little piece of summertime in Rhode Island. It’s not the awful frozen crap that you can get anywhere. It’s perfection. I crave it all year long even though most stands are only open in the summer.

fuckyeahrhodeisland: When RISD President John Maeda, Liisa Silander and the Media + Partners department decided to reinvent their alumni magazine, they decided to do it from the ground up. Renaming it RISD XYZ and shifting from a more traditional focus on the school to instead celebrate the accomplishments of its graduates, they knew they had to do something about the design too. While previous versions typically tasked three alumni with a section each, the resulting layout felt disjointed and made it tough to read. Handpicking a few alums to pitch, they chose RISD alum Criswell Lappin to realize the new vision of the concept. Lappin—who in addition to running his own design consultancy Wellnow, has art directed the award-winning magazine Metropolis for the past decade—recently answered a few of our questions on how he and his crack team of fellow alums pulled off the fresh new design in just 10 weeks. Read on to learn more about some of his favorite designers, the project’s reality TV potential, and the beers it took to unwind when he was done. Click for high-res photo
