The Eames'

I really enjoyed the Eames' films.  They were interesting in that they look at design from so many different angles.  The solar do-nothing-machine amazed me.  I have always been interested in that sort of thing, from mouse trap the game to any and all Rube Goldberg machines.  Their success as a couple is amazing, and I hope to be able to live out my days in a house like the one they designed.
The guest speakers were a nice way to look at the design world.  I enjoyed hearing about their overseas experiences, especially since I cannot ever partake in such a thing due to being in the military.  My main goal in life is to someday own my own company, so it was cool to see  a reference of that right in front of me.  They said they all have other jobs right now until the business really takes off, and thats life.  I hope to be able to work for a company for a while to get experience in the real world, and build a wealth for myself to make a transition into independent employment easier.
