thinking about things and stuff:
Making microfiction and micromovies (poemtexting, cell phone video, web video) low-tech cheap and easily distributed artwork (zines, teabag stories, chalk poems on rocks, mailart, flyers, handbills, xerox art), how to positively corrupt people and stimulate free and independent thinking and action. New language.
Benign anarchy.
Less is more.
Perfect clothes: bib overalls, black tshirts, and heavyweight zip-up hoodies. Who needs anything else (except good footwear)
Collaboration, co-operation, exchange, and interdependence, instead of competition and isolated independence.
Communication models. More than enough methods and tools exist, how to use them better.
Lookng for Spring and some consistent sun and warmth.
Nap time.
On my mind
Starting Saturday
watch if you wanna
Apologies to subscribers
1. I don't know how many of you there are, but thank you for watching.
2. I had some template problems and video changes (transparent but requiring republishing about 100 times) so if i filled your feed list and there's broken links or missing files, I apologize. I think I'm done now. I'm definitely going to sleep.
3. New medias= thousands of new ways to screw stuff up. I plan to investigate them all.
back to our regularly scheduled program, with fewer interruptions...

A rockin' friday night at the world headquarters of Just Making Stuff. We're watching the internets, plotting our next move...

A public service announcement:
I am a nobody. I work a day job, I make stuff. I'll never make any money from my stuff, and anyone that helps me make my stuff is pretty much doing non-profit charity work. Because mostly, what I make ain't art, it's just me figuring stuff (myself, things, the universe) out the best I can.
Just wanted to establish those facts. Because I gather you all together today to sing the praises of Blip.tv. Especially Eric and the support folks. They are awesome. I had this quirky little question, and they gave me the time and attention to chase it down just like I was somebody. Absolutely amazing. Customer service the way it should be everywhere. Polite, patient, extremely competent and considerate. And yes of course the problem was on my end (an obscure setting I was using) but they didn't miss a beat or roll their metaphorical internet eyes.
So to blip, thank you. Seriously. It's encouraging.
And to anyone that wants to try video on the web: go blip. There is no other.
And to the rest of the world that is supposed to be providing customer service: follow the example.
blip.tv: the internets the way it should be.
They simply ROCK.
Now, back to our irregularly scheduled programming...
