The Vineyard is only now

implementing a much needed public transportation system. It's still in it's infancy, but has improved by an order of magintude in the last year. I kicked myself, the other day, when I thought back to when the only options were car-bike-hitching and realized I had missed the perfect opportunity for a little bit of art making. It would have been a beautiful moment to wake up one morning and see the Island dotted with bus stops, maps and schedules for a 100% imaginary transit system!

David McFarlane : A few tips on the care, feeding and shooing-away of artists

"Those 'I always keep a notebook beside the bed for my dreams' types. Those 'the creative process is a mystery I don't like to tamper with' types. They can all take a long walk off a short pier, as far as I'm concerned, and maybe they wouldn't mind taking a few 'absolutely riveted' critics with them." A little shrill perhaps, but not far from the truth.

Jason Kottke : Silkscreen

"I'm a big fan of small, bitmappy fonts. I've been using a font called Sevenet (derived from Joe Gillespie's excellent Mini7) for a while now, but I didn't quite like the look of it...too wide. I wanted a font that was narrower and included a bold version." mmmmm...fonts.

Armand Mattelart : L'anti-géomètre

"Cela signifie l'élimination du concept de la différenciation sociale, mais aussi de celui de justice sociale, et des luttes pour l'établir. ... C'est la fin de tous les acteurs, sauf un, le manager, qui se déresponsabilise puisque tout est global."

How many lonely nights did I spend in the studio listening to this freak? Possibly the only person to ever faze Courtney Love. via saturn
