Interrupting this long silence to express my appreciation for receiving a picture in my inbox of the great video artist Tony Cokes wearing a Burial shirt.
Indeed. Also, I ain’t saying who, but there is someone in town (not me) who has the front doors from this thing as an interior decorative feature of their own home.

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!
Returning today to Arney’s book on atomic scientists as “dead but real executives of the inevitable.”
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.

I am sorry to report that this Big Bird figure was the object of my first knowing act of theft. I pocketed it from preschool and took it home. Still remember having to apologize to Mrs. Eshelman when I got caught. The reach of Sesame Street’s moral universe is long…

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…
