I’m a twentysomething Californian with equal and abiding loves of people and technology. I’m an information junkie, an occasional writer and thinker, a humanist and transhumanist and perpetual student of humanity. I’m currently attending UC San Diego, throwing myself against every wall to see what sticks, soaking up the sun and people and opportunities and trying to figure out how best to combine all my passions into a life that leaves no regrets and takes no prisoners.Tumblr (3.0; @adampowers)http://adampowers.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdprkamAgZ1qjfei8o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdprkamAgZ1qjfei8o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdprkamAgZ1qjfei8o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdprkamAgZ1qjfei8o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdprkamAgZ1qjfei8o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://njoseattle.tumblr.com/post/36038539897/faces-genres" class="tumblr_blog">njoseattle</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Faces-Genres-2011/1861865">Faces & Genres</a></p></blockquote>http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/36054763500http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/36054763500Sun, 18 Nov 2012 23:51:22 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdpe0a9rh11rse1ipo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdpe0a9rh11rse1ipo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://khooll.com/post/36016834863/llustration-series-by-atelier-olschinsky">thekhooll</a>:</p> <blockquote> <h3><span class="Apple-style-span">I<strong>llustration Series By <a href="http://www.123inspiration.com/?s=atelier+olschinsky">Atelier Olschinsky</a>.</strong></span></h3> </blockquote>http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/36054500026http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/36054500026Sun, 18 Nov 2012 23:43:01 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcxtarPJ3C1qkc59eo2_r2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcxtarPJ3C1qkc59eo3_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcxtarPJ3C1qkc59eo1_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://israelfacts.tumblr.com/post/34939989884/the-different-legal-systems-under-which-israelis">israelfacts</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The different legal systems under which Israelis and Palestinians are tried apply to children as well. As +972 has consistently documented, Palestinian children arrested by the Israeli army are treated by the military court system as “<a href="http://972mag.com/report-by-british-jurists-reminds-of-the-horrors-of-israeli-child-detention/49643/">potential terrorists</a>.” The visual below demonstrates what would happen should two 12-year-old boys, one Israeli and one Palestinian, get arrested for fighting. One would swiftly be brought before a judge, given access to a lawyer, tried and spared jail time. The other could face two years in jail without trial. </p> <p>By Michal Vexler, <a href="http://www.caabu.org/news/blog/martial-law-west-bank-discrimination-action">with the cooperation of Caabu</a> – The Council for Arab-British Understanding</p> <p><a href="http://972mag.com/visualizing-occupation-children-under-israels-legal-regime/58973/">Visualizing Occupation: Children under Israel’s legal regime</a></p> </blockquote>http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356970266http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356970266Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:15:23 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6tgeAbgB1qhc9d1o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6tgeAbgB1qhc9d1o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6tgeAbgB1qhc9d1o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6tgeAbgB1qhc9d1o6_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6tgeAbgB1qhc9d1o7_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md6tgeAbgB1qhc9d1o8_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://therealreasonidanceis.tumblr.com/post/35328629756/lack0fpassion-a-beauty-but-a-funny-girl-the">therealreasonidanceis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lack0fpassion.tumblr.com/post/35315996836/a-beauty-but-a-funny-girl-the-four-sweethearts">lack0fpassion</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://a-beauty-but-a-funny-girl.tumblr.com/post/35311104154/the-four-sweethearts-at-the-end-of-that-jimmy">a-beauty-but-a-funny-girl</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The four sweethearts at the end of the Jimmy Kimmel segment “I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy.”</p> </blockquote> this is adorable omg</blockquote> <p>D’awww</p> </blockquote> <p>This hurts my heart.</p>http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356657600http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356657600Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:10:46 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8b433A251rzg6xuo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8b433A251rzg6xuo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://anndesignn.tumblr.com/post/35342277713/a-wearable-planter-by-colleen-jordan">anndesignn</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>A Wearable Planter</strong> by<strong> <a href="http://www.colleenjordan.com/A-Wearable-Planter" target="_self">Colleen Jordan</a></strong></p> </blockquote>http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356390848http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356390848Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:06:48 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8boqjyfh1rzg6xuo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://anndesignn.tumblr.com/post/35342823185/meera-sky-garden-house-by-guz-architects">anndesignn</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Meera Sky Garden House </strong>by<strong> <a href="http://guzarchitects.com/" target="_self">Guz Architects</a></strong></p> </blockquote>http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356377828http://adampowers.tumblr.com/post/35356377828Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:06:36 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7i85n33ng1qdlh1io1_r1_250.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.most-awkward-moments.com/post/35300826843/they-were-fighting-and-were-all-like-arrrr-imma">most-awkward-moments</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>THEY WERE FIGHTING AND WERE ALL LIKE ARRRR IMMA GET YOU BITCH BUT THEN, WHAT, WHY IS THE FLOOR SO SPRINGY.

After years of sketching alphabets in lectures and being discouraged from putting type in my paintings, I discovered a place where these things were encouraged and made my transition to the world of design.
