Colorway

How two nerds refine the palette of their wedding party--she looted Home Depot, I swiped an Ott-Lite from work. We ended up with a handmade swatchbook each, for all us up front. A note to those readers: no color here is true, await your packages in the mail.

Exercise

A good way to practice telepathy is to help people realize they've dropped something.

I Am You

Like a river into the sea, I am you.

Claim Check

So soggy when I found it that it nearly fell apart--I've been reviving it between blotter, under stones.

Digitints

I've been itching to make aquatints again.

There's something primordial and enveloping about the consistent depth of tone that I keep seeing in other textures, most underfoot--that I keep wanting to escape to.

Until back behind copper and acid, floating enamel and rosin, simple filters will have to suffice.

Valentine

For a second year, Susan and Gemma send their love.

One Step Closer

We are pleased to announce that all CoverFlow technology and intellectual property was recently sold to Apple. It has been incorporated into the latest version of iTunes. Please visit www.apple.com/itunes.

Good Work

Just now, upon watching the video record of Graffiti Research Lab's first project, I sincerely thought to myself, "This, is beautiful".

Then immediately afterward, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Which I think I meant quite literally--I'm intimate with all the materials and ideas being drawn from here, I could talk Flavin and neodymium, open-source and installation, all day. The elements at work just never coalesced into this manifestation for me.

Thank god they did for fi5e and Resistor. This is inspiring work--the kind of easy brilliance that makes me proud to have found my profession. Thankful too, that communities like Eyebeam/Openlab and Instructables exist and are beginning to thrive.

I might also add, playing off of Sony's Bravia ad is shrewd. Perhaps more intelligent however, is the choice of location--Jim Kempner Fine Art on the corner of 23rd and 10th, an icon in many ways.

Residual Influences

My primary machine is an aging laptop. Consequently, I only ever have a small portion (17.89 GB) of my music collection on it--storage issues. So, today I was taking a look at what I was missing out on (the other 80 Gigs that live in an external), and moving some things around, when I came across a record I should have remembered recently.

I knew those dots felt right for a reason.

In other music news, Phil K.'s Y4K has been replaced as my favorite du jour. Lusine's Serial Hodgepodge, something I slept on for over a year, is this week's commute theme.

Holiday

The second day we took the regional rail through a dry rolling countryside--to Avila. Two of the many crosses there.
