   this video is the shit. found it a few months back and loved it ever since.

   is it just me or are blogs getting kind of cool again after a long hiatus where everyone cooled their jets over it all? seems like we all went our own ways, did our own things, found out different answers and are bringing it all back to the town square for a good old-fashioned swap meet.

   maybe we should finally start doing show and tell club meetings soon too.

   Yeah, why isn’t JK writing in his blog anymore?

   It’s still hard for me to read and write in blogs; Amber and I were talking this weekend and she made me realize that I haven’t read a book in like year probably. All the information I am reading is quick, three paragraphs rss feeds, tops.

   I remember in Jerry Mander’s “Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television” he was talking about different frame rates people lived in … and that television tuned you to a quicker frame rate. You saw things in quicker pacing … so events that were unfolding over a long period of time were harder for you to take in.

   His example was these native people he stayed with who knew when a certain of group of wild pigs would return to an area to graze like three days later. They were living in such a slowed down version of time that it was not like they were “predicting” anything … it was just their reality.

   I’ve often thought about this … that trees are on an incredibly incredibly slow frame rate trying desperately to reach the sun.

   I heard that certain plants, when you speed them up on film with time-lapse they reach a point of their growth where it looks like they are actually climaxing. We just don’t see it because we are moving too fast to witness all these plants around us orgasming in stillness.
