Banksy Interview + Video
Banksy has done an interview with the Sunday Times, which is an interesting read:
“I have a large collection of famous art at home, but they’re all fakes. I make them myself. If I like a picture I grab a photo, project it up and paint it. Sometimes I change the colours to fit with the curtains. I do it partly because I’m tight and partly because if the Basquiats and Picassos in the sitting room were real I’d be too scared to ever leave the house.
“I don’t make as much money as people think. The commercial galleries that have held exhibitions of my paintings are nothing to do with me. And I certainly don’t see money from the T-shirts, mugs and greeting cards. My lawyer calls me ‘the most infringed artist alive’ and wants me to do something about it. But if you’ve built a reputation on having a casual attitude towards property ownership, it seems a bit bad-mannered to kick off about copyright law.”

one of the coolest things about social media is that the platforms are created to be inherently social (duh, i know) - but what that actually means is that creative people, like ed hamilton above, can use these platforms as technology and not forms.
most of us use platforms as a formulated publishing platform in the sense that we fill it out and go. here’s an example of someone going beyond the intended use, and instead figuring out a creative way to use the technology behind the platform.
nice work, ed. :)

Hey, ‘Friend,’ Do You ‘Like’ My Sad Story?
it’s about time someone wrote this story!
“
Mr. Sheidlower said the evolution of meaning and interpretation is natural for language. He considers it entirely possible that a younger generation growing up online might understand “like” to mean something different than older folks do.
“People are posting very heartfelt feelings on these social sites, and the option is to either like it or comment,” he said. “I don’t think it changes the meaning of the word, but there is a disjunct that is happening here, and it forces you to think of the word that is pointing to a story and not necessarily the content within it.”
“Like” clearly isn’t the only word that is seeing a change to its context or understanding. We are starting to perceive the word “friend” differently, too, thanks to social networking services.”

“
Hagel describes the corporate passion paradox: Executives eloquently celebrate passion, though the day-to-day practices of the firm seek to contain and mute it… Scalable efficiency, which makes big companies competitive, has the result of alienating and prompting passionate people to leave.
Hagel argues that because passion is becoming increasingly important for institutional success, institutions must shift from scalable efficiency to scalable peer-to-peer learning.
Harnessing passion and scalable peer-to-peer learning requires organizations to recognize people who crave abstract problems, while seeking clarity and mastery. Organizations must value self-imposed discipline and persistence that overcomes obstacles. Organizations also must value people with self-imposed performance goals, and those who demand constant progression. Companies also must celebrate and empower passionate people to thrive as individuals and connect with other like-minded people — either through outreach or attraction. To embrace passion, companies must embrace risk-taking, serendipity and authentic discovery. Finally, organizations must seek to align passions and professions.
”- Max Kalehoff reflecting on John Hagel’s post “Pursuing Passion”

Johnny Cash named his daughter, Rosanne Cash, after my grandmother, Rosanne Siman, who I am also named after :)
One day my grandmother casually mentioned that Johnny Cash named his daughter, Rosanne Cash, after her.
And of course my response was WHAT?!!!! So, in honor of what would be Johnny Cash’s 78th birthday, I’m sharing the story.
My grandfather, Si Siman, helped start the first syndicated country music TV show, the Ozark Mountain Jubilee.
Back in the day, TV wasn’t so reliable and it was sometimes quite difficult to get everything going. In those cases, my grandmother served sweet tea and entertained the guests, who ranged from Porter Wagoner to Johnny Cash.
[My grandmother said that this time of her life was immensely exciting and also scary because ‘you would never know who was coming through the doors to stay for a week!’]
When Johnny Cash came to the show, there were loads of technical difficulties and he and my grandmother ended up chatting for quite a while. He mentioned his wife and his baby-to-be, but June Carter Cash still had 3 months to go with her pregnancy.
My grandmother says that they had a special connection and that she’ll never forget chatting with him before the show.
Three months later, when the baby was born, Johnny Cash called my grandmother to let her know that he had named his daughter Rosanne Cash after her, Rosanne Siman, who I am also named after :)
To this day he remains my standard answer for that weird “if you could talk to anyone who is no longer living, who would it be?”

“There is a myth out there that Millennials don’t care about privacy. That’s absolutely untrue. How they actually think about privacy is just different than adults.”
- Danah Boyd this AM a Pew’s Millennials Conference
i totally agree with what she said - “adults” often times ask me about this and ask me why i feel comfortable sharing so much on the internet and i think it mostly comes down to we have different ideas of what exactly is private. my email address is everywhere - i’m giving it to people so that they can reach out to me. i don’t consider it private. on the other hand, my dad would consider his email private and wouldn’t want to share it or provide it to the masses.

Butch Bakery = Cupcakes for men
As NY Mag says, “Butch, based in Queens, infuses baked goods with beer and bacon, among other dude-friendly ingredients, like ganache. But despite having copious skills in “negotiation, corporate and LLC compliance, and accounting” and the fact that his idea is an obvious no-brainer, Arrick has been having some trouble: “It’s a surprisingly cutthroat environment for cupcakes,” he admits. We could have told him that. Everyone knows you don’t cross those chicks from Magnolia. They’re as tough as Goldman Sachs.”

ChatRoulette by Sarita Yardi
a couple of points that i particularly loved:
- “ChatRoulette evokes patterns of behavior that are as old as the Internet. Our fascination with spontaneous and random forays into anonymous online interactions echo those of early text-based chatrooms and bulletin board systems in the 1990s and even earlier. Shock, boredom, play, and voyeurism characterized these early online environments as much as they do now. In ChatRoulette, there is no registration or login; staring into the bedroom of a complete stranger is fascinating and completely disconcerting.”
- “ChatRoulette reminds me of when people said blogging was like making a private diary public. The idea of sitting in your bedroom showing your face to anyone in the world is simultaneously anonymous yet deeply revealing. This violates almost all social norms of the offline world. If someone walked up to you at a cocktail party, stared at you intensely, then simply walked away, you would feel confused and probably offended.”

IHOP with allie on national pancake day is one of my favorite college memories. there’s this quote from blue like jazz that says, “sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.”
this perfectly describes my relationship with pancakes. they were good. sometimes they were great! but i generally stick to savory instead of sweet so i would never order them myself. but eating pancakes with allison weiss, you can’t help but really, truly love the pancakes. :)

“There is something about knowing someone sees you, quirks and all, and likes what they see… something rare and kind of overwhelming (in a good way). ‘Beautiful’ is one of those words (a bit like ‘awesome’) that has lost meaning in being overused as a generic affirmative. We call all sorts of people beautiful in one sentence and tear them down in the next. I’m happy to be different enough that anyone who uses it to describe me sees more than just hair and makeup.” - brooke, the real life belle
