Inside Out

Share

I started disassembling a television (circa. 1985) about two weeks ago. I found the TV at the dump and it's proving to be a really educational tool for a project I am still sketching out in my head and in my notebook. I'm planning to use the casing and some internal parts of a very old TV for a diorama. I figure I'll make mistakes on the first three or four that I try to take apart, so before I spend the cash on an antique console television I will practice on some free or cheap ones.

It's easy to have really grand aspirations for a project at the outset, but I'm just happy that I managed to get it apart without losing any fingers or getting glass in my eyes.

Context Matters

I was pretty much sold immediately when Michael decided to do a blog that injects his own brand of humor into a context based analysis of pop culture, health and beauty, food, etc. We have been collaborating a lot lately so I was thrilled to do his blog header when he asked. This piece ended up going through a lot of different incarnations, but we ultimately agreed that this is a clear match for both style and tone.

If you enjoy reading solid commentary written from a uniquely and sometimes inappropriately funny perspective then go give CONTEXT MATTERS a try.

In other news, I caught an amazing sunrise while I was still waking up Sunday morning. It was like staring into a golden keyhole.

Later that day I saw the Mag-Lite placed on a pair of beach towels. From my vantage point it it looked just like a sunrise.
