But when color temperature becomes literal, cool blues and hot reds are differentiated in a new way that permits far more creative expression. The Touch Color tablet uses thermal energy and a hand-held color wheel to create works of art. The color wheel can even capture actual colors from a user’s environment and transmit it to the tablet.”

Seriously. I want to embody those three by the end of my stay at Columbia. I want to have the vision to see what isn’t there, the heart to paint that emptiness with the most beautiful of colors, and the skills to make all of this possible.
My name is Daniel Garcia. I often get upset because I would love to have just plain old danielgarcia as my username for things, but I guess that name is just too dang common.
