Six Principles for Making New Things
“a) simple solutions (b) to overlooked problems (c) that actually need to be solved, and (d) deliver them as informally as possible, (e) starting with a very crude version 1, then (f) iterating rapidly.”

Reading the paper, I saw another one of those, “solutions not speeches” quotes from Hillary. Here’s a nice little breakdown on who’s campaigns are providing more substance:

Do you have “Email Apnea*”? I think I might.
Or maybe I just have work apnea.
*Email apnea - a temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing email (Linda Stone, February 2008).

The opening for There is Xerox on the Insides of Your Eyelids, a skate zine/art show at Needles and Pens was last night. I was honored to be asked by show curator Rich Jacobs to participate. I gave Rich a box of zines and a box of photographs, and he put together a nice little cross section of photo and zine work of the era:
The show also had work by Gary ‘Skate’ Davis, Tod Swank, Dan Estabrook, Andy Jenkins, Thomas Campbell, Chris Johanson, Kevin Wilkins, John Dettman-Lytle, Mark Waters, Rich Jacobs, Jocko Weyland, Dennis Remsing, Tim Kerr, Chris Shary, Ron Cameron, Mofo, Rodger Bridges. The show drew a great crowd of old-timers, new-timers, and lots of folks in-between. I was a surprised at the size of the turn out, but then again, I had no idea what to expect.
It’s a little weird seeing your stuff from close to twenty years ago showcased in a an art show, especially since it’s been about that long since I’ve created zines and ‘art’ photography, but certainly flattering - and exciting.
I understand that an even larger traveling version of the show will make its way around the country and perhaps beyond. Very cool.
Thanks, Rich!

Late night fireworks anarchy in the streets of Chinatown.
From the Event description on Upcoming:
“Eye and ear protection is a must. A nonflammable hat and a leather coat with the collar sealed at the neck is recommended.”
I knew I had to go check it out.
