This will be the home of a Wave experiment. Muahahahahah!
Of a place for learning and doing and saving the world with a combination of high and low tech. It would be a place where the "maker philosophy" would be spread. Instead of focusing on how bad the world is, we'd focus on how to take the world into the next phase.
I have been thinking about the ways in which life is art. How you live your life, the way that you shape your days, what you choose to do with your time, is all part of a tapestry. Parts of your life become stories, myths or even legends. Some of your life may be strikingly poetic. Single moments may be paintings in the eye of memory. And then there are the physical artifacts that you create or change: your home, the food you cook, maybe even literal paintings you draw or films you create.
I just read about the SciFi channel's idea to change its name to SyFy and make itself more mainstream. It seems that they want to separate themselves from the geeky, nerdy image of Science Fiction and be "cooler". My first thought? DOH! How stupid can they be?!
Today a friend called me to ask me for help putting together a Website for his small business. For the first time in years I was stumped as to what to recommend. My friend is an amazing artisan who breathes new life into old furniture, but he's not necessarily proficient at writing in Hebrew and he almost never uses his computer for anything other than email and instant messaging. There is no question that he needs a Website for his business. The question is how we can create a Website for him that is going to draw people to his business today and into the future.
