Shoulder Problems? So what!

Shoulder Problems?? Sowhat SK8 Tshirt
Some of my friends saw me wearing this tshirt back in 2002 after going through my first shoulder operation.
I am officially presenting it here now, under the “far from reality” Evo brand project.

EVO SK8 T Shirt - Go big

The Evo Sk8 T Shirt features an always ready to use arm brace so when things go wrong you are safe to walk home. And the nice thing about it, is that it looks kind of “bad ass” when you are just wearing with the brace around your arms, it has a “just came out of the madhouse” style that skatergirls like……. target group..you know?

Safe to Walk Home

If you wanna build one for yourself, send an email, I can send some videos about it.

Connexions – Rip, Mix and Burn knowledge

Anyone interested in how knowledge (in an academic point of view) is writen, edited and published should definetly take a look at this presentation about the connexions project at the Google headquarters. Connexions, which is a web plattform (the founders call it knowledge ecosystem) that aims to revolutionize the academic world like .mp3 has chaged the music industry. Could that be applied to product development somehow?

Lets 2007

Let our Dreams Come True - Illustration_24 Janeiro 2007_Henrique Monnerat

 

It has been a while since the last time I wrote something here at Lets-evo blog. Well, I apologize for that. The year is starting write now for the blogger “me”. I have been spending a lot of time to catch up with my projects since I came back to Germany after a 3 month period in Rio de Janeiro. I went to Rio for the Design Workshop at ESDI and stayed a bit longer in order to fix some parts of my body that weren’t functioning as they should be =). I have had 11 shoulder dislocations since I am 15 years old. The last one beeing in August 2006 so I decided to have my shoulder operated close to my family. It was the second operation I had in the right shoulder, and luckily the last. Maybe I put the operation video in Youtube for you to check (it is just like in the workshop….just smaller tools).

My wishes for 2007….well, I didn’t ask anything else other than having peace with my shoulder ’cause I will not erase sport from my life at the age of 25. Thinking more globally, 2007 is there, giving us the opportunity to keep searching for what motivates us and to change some stuff that we, as a society aren’t still managing to control: pollution, wars, racism, consume culture and injustice. In 2007 lets follow our hearts without forgetting the ones next to us.

A good year for everybody! Peace.
