There’s a lot to say, and a lot has been said, about the passing of Steve Jobs. I didn’t think I had anything to add that hadn’t already been stated and retweeted, but I found this quote from 1996 and I felt moved to post it here.

Wired: What’s the biggest surprise this technology will deliver?

Jobs: The problem is I’m older now, I’m 40 years old, and this stuff doesn’t change the world. It really doesn’t.

Wired: That’s going to break people’s hearts.

Jobs: I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much — if at all. These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that. But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light — that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important.

For the past two weeks or so, the entirety of Don Hertzfeldt’s film Everything Will Be OK has been up on his site and on youtube.

If you’ve never seen it, or all that you know of his work is Rejected, then you really should take a look. Don’t let the simplicity of his characters distract you from the complexity of his films (even some of the shorts that can easily be written off as “weird internet videos”). He shoots everything on a flatbed 35mm camera and I went to see a projection of this film a few years ago, where I was totally blown away.

I’m doing some animation research for a project and this is totally my jam right now.

New Website!

It might still be a bit buggy, but I decided it was time for a change. It’s cleaner, the photographs are newer, and there’s a store where you can get prints of some of the photos.

Photo Auction to Benefit Mitch Dubey

Wed, 18 May 2011 16:50:00 -0400

Hey all,

Sorry to steer toward a more serious subject, but I’ll just be a minute. Earlier this year a friend and former bandmate of mine was shot and killed in his home in New Haven, CT. He was a pretty rad guy all around, but since he was a super awesome musician, there’s an effort in LA right now to put on a benefit show at the El Rey with proceeds going to help his family.

I’m auctioning off a photo to raise some money for the show. If you need art for your new apartment or a gift for a friend, please consider bidding.

Ebay Auction

Thanks for looking.

"Because the Internet is so new we still don’t really understand what it is. We mistake it for a type..."

Tue, 17 May 2011 17:28:37 -0400

“Because the Internet is so new we still don’t really understand what it is. We mistake it for a type of publishing or broadcasting, because that’s what we’re used to. So people complain that there’s a lot of rubbish online, or that it’s dominated by Americans, or that you can’t necessarily trust what you read on the web. Imagine trying to apply any of those criticisms to what you hear on the telephone. Of course you can’t ‘trust’ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‘trust’ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants. Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is, quite literally, what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do. For some batty reason we turn off this natural scepticism when we see things in any medium which require a lot of work or resources to work in, or in which we can’t easily answer back – like newspapers, television or granite. Hence ‘carved in stone.’ What should concern us is not that we can’t take what we read on the internet on trust – of course you can’t, it’s just people talking – but that we ever got into the dangerous habit of believing what we read in the newspapers or saw on the TV – a mistake that no one who has met an actual journalist would ever make. One of the most important things you learn from the internet is that there is no ‘them’ out there. It’s just an awful lot of ‘us’.”
