One way to think about an election is: who are the literal Nazis and Klansmen supporting? Maybe I should look elsewhere.

The Pussy Project

posted November 2, 2016 #

SF Photographer Helena Price recently launched The Pussy Project, a series of portraits and interviews that explores the fears and concerns of our political climate from women of all backgrounds and walks of life.

Her writeup on the project is not so much about changing hearts and minds as it is about imploring empathy:
I know that pro-Hillary rhetoric sounds just as crazy to Trump voters as pro-Trump rhetoric sounds to so many of us. Rhetoric is not enough to change minds. I truly believe that exposing voters to people who are relatable in some ways but different in others, sharing personal stories, and increasing empathy on both sides, is a more reliable path to change.
The images are great, the Jessica Hische logo is solid and the site is enjoyable. But, most of all, the message and the stories are compelling.

Take time to read this. Seriously take time out of your day and read five of these. Any five. It's worth the small effort.

The Election is looming! I think that's fair to say. As we hurdle towards the 8th I think it's wise to take a moment to urge you to check out BallotReady.org, a non-partisan site that simple breaks down all of the candidates and referendum's that will appear for you. Plug in your address and get information on every candidate that you'll be asked to cast a vote for. The Presidential runoff certainly gets all the media attention (understandably and deservedly) but knowing your Senators, State Assembly reps, Judicial Candidates and Local Referendums is also important. Consider it a dry run! Get in there and decide who you're going to vote for before you go to the polls.

Possibilia

"An interactive love story set in the multiverse... whatever that means." The Possibilia short film from DANIELS is an interesting onslaught of possibilities seen through a romantic fight. The consistent audio makes the experience pretty seamless and well worth a click around.

How I Became The Bomb, Break Hearts

posted November 1, 2016 #

I have been a fan of How I Became the Bomb since their earliest days. I worked on some early artwork for them and was blown away to see their Ulay, Oh video reach almost 30 million views - insanely impressive to say the least.

All that is to say, I'm over the moon with the results of their latest video for Break Hearts. It hasn't hit critical mass in terms of views but it is a truly compelling piece of work. Lots of the effects are done in-camera, the story is interesting and the song is damn good. Win win win all around. Enjoy it and spread the word.

Redesigning Waxy, 2016 Edition

posted November 1, 2016 #

Never thought I'd see the day but Andy Baio's blog WAXY has launched a redesign. Andy has always been a huge inspiration for myself and the kind of content I hope to surface on this blog. His longer form posts are always thoughtful and insightful and his short quicklinks are always engaging in one way or another. His thoughts on the state of blogs is exactly how I feel but, simply put, much more eloquent than I could ever be.

Congrats WAXY and thanks for the continued push to be better.

Czech Businessman Leads Vinyl Revival - Video - Business News

posted November 1, 2016 #

Most of the vinyl pressed for yk records comes out of Pirates Press, a San Francisco based company. However, they're farming all of the actual vinyl production out to the Czech Republic to a company called GZ Media, a pressing plant that's been around since 1948. Take a moment to watch this piece on the pressing plant and their history. Note that CEO Zdenek Pelc has been in charge since 1981 and carried the company through the barren wasteland of the 90's and made it worth over $100 million now.

But profits aside, it's fascinating to see a company that's been around for so long, making a seemingly "archaic" product continue to innovate and thrive. They're developing new vinyl pressing prototype machines! They're employing a ton of people and giving artists an outlet to create a piece of physical media that will likely far outlive them.
