For the design junkies, BMW recently debuted their concept vehicle named GINA, which is an acronym for Geometry in n (ie. infinite) Adaptations.

It is purely conceptual and not intended for a production run, but it is very interesting to see the thought process and innovative ideas behind it. Its essentially a cloth "skin" that can adapt to numerous structural adjustments of the cars 'skeleton.' This could serve as both aesthetic and functional depending on the situation.

Thought it was very interesting and it serves as a reminder that design plays an integral role in the development of great products.

Well I made it up to NYC in one piece. Came up with a buddy of mine this week to visit a friend because we had to cancel a trip last year and our tickets were about to expire. Did a ton of walking around today and am pretty exhausted. Walked off that tasty slice from lunch hopefully. Good practice for the fitness challenge I guess (the walking, not the pizza). The weather has been kind of overcast and cool today, but i like that usually so its okay. After not much sleep last night (due to packing and an early flight) and walking around all day today, we were pretty exhausted and decided to crash for the evening. So here I am in the hotel at 8pm. How lame is that?!?! Don't worry, I'll make up for this the rest of the week. Anyway, looking forward to seeing a friend tomorrow or the next day and going to a taping of The Daily Show on Thursday. Other than that, no concrete plans. Just going to see where we end up. So I guess bye for now. Hope everyone is well.
