interviews with street photographers:

"Each photographer was sent a questionnaire which they filled in and emailed back. Some kept the question-answer format, others just wrote statements based on the questions we asked. There are plenty of gems, insights and advice that, we think, anyone looking to get started in street photography will learn from."
aworks :: new american classical music:

"Organ and Silence is a two-hour organ work (the Wesley Roberts recording is about an hour), distinguished by lengthy periods of silence. A set of notes or a phrase will be followed by complete silence. It might be a short pause or it might be say a 10 second gap and then another musical phrase. All sixteen movements follow that same pattern of short musical fragment, pause, then repeat for three or four minutes."
exhilarator:

"The cartoon with its sheer endless humoristic allegories is among the oldest of trades, and a creative one at that. We want to breathe new life into all those used and out-laughed witnesses of human tragedy - but how? We have asked our friend algorithmic random generator to give us a hand. We split the image from the text and shove the gag into a new interpretation..."

Disfarmer: black and white photographs of rural America in the 1940's:

" In the small mountain town of Heber Springs, the Arkansas artist known as Disfarmer captured the lives and emotions of the people of rural America between 1939-1945. Critics have hailed Disfarmer's remarkable black and white portraits as 'a work of artistic genius' and 'a classical episode in the history of American photography.' "
The New York Review of Books: Disco Dreams:

"Become hollow. Make room. Learn to despise your own internal protests at what bores or irritates you with its unfamiliarity. Be shaped by strangeness. Love what abrades. The future can come into being only by stripping away what was formerly locked in place."

Airbag - A Better Tighty Whitey.:

"There's a lot of talk about the recently declassified White House brief that mentions a possible attack by Al Queda forces within the United States but nothing about the state of intelligence reports given to the President of the United States.

I speak specifically to the design of the document. It's clearly inefficient in its purpose to communicate the assessment of threats against the United States. While a better designed document might not save the world, I believe it would help the President (Bush or otherwise) to quickly and more effectively assess the information given to him.

In a world with Jakob Neilson, how is it possible that nobody in the West Wing has learned the word usability?"

The Suburbs Are Killing Us:

"Like Sam Cooke, Derrick Harriott has a tenor voice that's sweeter than yer honey. But unlike Cooke, Harriott is a Jamaican and not an American, hence relatively few folks outside of the reggae world know him, his work or his angelic voice."
