We all know the multimedia artistic brilliance of pioneering New Wave band Devo. And many of us know that Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh is an artist who works in other media. But even other moderately devoted fans such as myself may be surprised to realize just how multiple Mothersbaugh’s artistic talents are, how persistent, or how significant when surveyed as a whole. This is all remedied in an impressive new volume, Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia, assembled by Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Denver Director Adam Lerner. Read the rest

Nice and talented people sometimes send stuff to me in the mail. This little kitchen set sawed from a single block of pine is one my favorites. The Mayor of Mt Holly, MN (pop. 4) made it using a pattern from one of the Foxfire books, "updating it with a few things."

The cult favorite documentary was produced to promote Tron’s release, featuring a trippy plot and the strangest computer graphics this side of SIGGRAPH — and it quickly became a staple of the LA club scene as visual accompaniment for whatever was floating your boat that night.

Dissent implements the Dining Cryptographers and Verifiable Shuffling algorithms to produce a group-conversation system that is resistant to traffic analysis. Feels like we’re entering the second golden age of cypherpunk.

The company was founded by a formon (former Mormon) named Ann Jackson who was married as a teenager and has since divorced and left the faith — she’ll sell "temple garments" (AKA "magic Mormon underwear") to anyone who wants ’em, and promises that none of the profits go to the LDS.

Track Your Time with a Colorful Chronodex to Get More Done

The Chronodex is a graphical way of visualizing and keeping tabs on your time every day. For very visual people, this might be the perfect system for adding more accountability to your activities and motivate you to use your time better.

We talked about the Chronodex a while ago, but this recent post by WordPress developer Kellbot really hammers in the benefits of using the Chronodex to track your time:

She writes:

Once I started accounting for my time, some really important things happened. I started to feel better about myself because I was acknowledging the things I accomplished in a day. I started thinking about my time in 15 minute blocks which has helped me focus a lot on the task at hand. I am better at stopping myself from jumping between work, home, and play because I’ve internalized that I’m "in a work block" or "in a family block." When I take a break I take a full 15 or 30 minute break instead of just shoving food in my face while sitting at my keyboard.

Most importantly, the system is like an art project for her and a reward in itself:

My reward for being productive is that I get to shade in that time on my Chronodex afterwards.

To learn more about how the Chronodex works, head to Scription, the site of the original inventor, Patrick Ng, or check out this other introduction to the system.
