In Fall 01968, @stewartbrand put the Whole Earth Catalog out into the world. 55 years later, our friends at @grayareaorg and the @internetarchive are launching the Whole Earth Index: a nearly complete free online archive of Whole Earth publications. wholeearth.info

Happy Birthday to Lynda Carter, Frederick Law Olmstead, Summer Glau, Oswald Chambers…and me. 50 years of cosmic travel, and blessed for every day of it. Meanwhile a painting of my best predecessor in the dean role randomly showed up in the office. Cheers!

Last summer @JohannaGosse and I finally realized a thing among many we had hopes of making together (and hopefully will return to). Grateful to have the invitation from @machines_in as our impetus and host. You can hear it here now: machinesinbetween.com/episod…

On Infinity 88 Listening Hour 100 you’ll be exposed to an exquisite piece from Johanna Gosse and Kevin Hamilton on spectacle, the atomic bomb, and the limits of human perception. And you will hear another deep cut from Susannah Crockford’s Conspiracy EP. machinesinbetween.com/episod…

The track, recorded as "Man eaten by alligator; screams," has become iconic. Take #5 was first used in 1951's "Distant Drums," before sound designer Ben Burtt incorporated it into Star Wars & Indiana Jones. 2/2 archive.org/details/SSE_Libr…

I missed that artist Gardner Post died earlier this year. His agitational video work with EBN really got to me back in the day. I hope designer Willie Williams acknowledges some debt there as he returns to Zoo TV for the upcoming Las Vegas blitz. youtube.com/@gardnerpost6529…

This year my father (a lifetime student of the scriptures) noticed for the first time how the story describes the shepherds as -living- in those fields. Reading this poem, I thought for the first time of their return to those same fields in the dark: richardbauckham.co.uk/wp-con…
