Last night I finished a set of prints requested by one of our favorite clients, HopeNet. These folks (mostly volunteers) are everyday heroes for a cause that’s dear to my heart. Help support HopeNet, an interfaith and community effort to eliminate hunger and homelessness in metro Los Angeles.

…the habit of mind which leads
to a search for relationships
between facts becomes
of the highest importance
in the production of ideas.
A 5-Step Technique for Producing Ideas circa 1939, by Maria Popova:
Years later, upon reissuing A Technique for Producing Ideas, Young recounted the many letters he had gotten from “poets, painters, engineers, scientists, and even one writer of legal briefs” who had found his technique empowering and helpful. But what’s perhaps most interesting is the following note he made to the postscript of a reprint:
From my own further experience in advertising, government, and public affairs I find no essential points which I would modify in the idea-producing process. There is one, however, on which I would put greater emphasis. This is as to the store of general materials in the idea-producer’s reservoir.
[…]
I am convinced, however, that you gather this vicarious experience best, not when you are boning up on it for an immediate purpose, but when you are pursuing it as an end in itself.
I have just one wish for you —
the good luck to be somewhere
where you are free to maintain the
kind of integrity I have described,
and where you do not feel forced
by a need to maintain your position
in the organization, or financial
support, or so on, to lose your
integrity. May you have that freedom.
Cargo Cult Science – Richard Feynman’s fantastic 1974 Caltech commencement speech on integrity.
Amen.

I downloaded some new music yesterday, to suit the fresh creative mood I’ve found myself in. It’s fantastic (the music, not the mood - well maybe that too, but I was referring to the music).
Anyhow, what brought this on? I don’t know. I don’t question it, I just go with it. I’ve recently finished a book (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Murakami) and really enjoyed it, perhaps that helped. The characters came alive for me, much as they have from past much-loved books, so I’ve filed a few new additions to my growing list of favorite characters: Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel and the tiger, John Blackthorne and Mariko, Liza Hamilton and Lee, and now Cinnamon and the cat. These (and a few others to be saved for future rambly posts) are my preferred company for the imaginary conversations in my head, while I design and paint and listen to music…
…in other words, dreaming while I’m awake. :)
I love this inspired assembly of concept, design, and fun execution. If you can’t play with your food, might as well play with your clothes. :]
ANA LJUBINKOVIC’S S/S 2012 GIF LOOKBOOK
How fun! Serbian designer, Ana Ljubinkovic, plays up the digital worlds influence on fashion by creating a Spring/Summer 2012 entirely of animated GIFs. A cute concept for a conceptually cute collection filled with floral, pastel, and interesting structured silhouettes. We’re into it!
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

A chilling USA Today story Misinformation campaign targets USA TODAY reporter, editor is currently dominating the Muck Rack Newsroom:
“A USA TODAY reporter and editor investigating Pentagon propaganda contractors have themselves been subjected to a propaganda campaign of sorts, waged on the Internet through a series of bogus websites.”
Everyone is vulnerable to misinformation attacks on the web, but journalists who haven’t put effort into building their digital identities are particularly at risk. For example, both of the victims hadn’t spent $10 to buy their domain names:
“Internet domain registries show the website TomVandenBrook.com was created Jan. 7 — just days after Pentagon reporter Tom Vanden Brook first contacted Pentagon contractors involved in the program. Two weeks after his editor Ray Locker’s byline appeared on a story, someone created a similar site, RayLocker.com, through the same company.”
As a result, the bogus site is still the 4th non-news Google result for Tom Vanden Brook:
Had this news not broken, the fake site would have been the first non-USA Today result for Tom’s name.
Had Tom set up a site on his own domain name, a Twitter profile and a Muck Rack profile, it’s unlikely a bogus site would have so quickly made it to the first page of Google results for his name.
We’ve said before that journalists owe it to their readers not to be phished. They also need to be proactive about establishing their digital identities before someone else does.
FJP: Abide this Muck Rack pro tip.
