Machines that Almost Fall Over on Vimeo (via Vimeo)
A system of sculptures that is constantly on the brink of collapse. My intention was to capture and sustain the exact moment of impending catastrophe and endlessly repeat it.
Just got my hand crafted bottle of Buzzard’s Bitters from Mike. I’m going to make a manhattan right now!
The snow had just finished falling and Michelle and I were enjoying a giant plate of bacon (turned out we didn’t have eggs in the fridge). We were excited to just lounge around that day while the snow accumulated. Suddenly we heard a slight creaking in the kitchen. I looked over in time to see our kitchen cabinet coming more and more off the wall until BANG! it fell off the wall and smashed into the ground. Imagine if something crazy happened like an airplane hit a building (a steel one like the world trade center maybe?), that’s the noise this thing made while hitting my kitchen floor.
Almost all of our plates were destroyed, and spices and flour went everywhere. My apartment stunk like chili pepper and curry and there was a thin film of white on everything.
Luckily, a few hours earlier, my landlord and super for the building left for Poland, and won’t be back until January 7th. No one is around to fix this shit. Lovely.
Cool, I love Poland. Do you know where your landlord went?
I really wish the send to twitter option was closer to the Create post button. I keep forgetting about it and end up sending stupid crap to twitter.
IconPark is a tremendous value, offering 255 hand-drawn icons (including vector) for just 29 bucks.
This IS an incredible value especially compared to Helveticons which runs $279
We had an amazing dinner at Brooklyn Fare on Friday night. For an extremely reasonable price, their chef will cook for a table of 10 in his kitchen, two feet away from you. You get over a dozen courses (two of which had foie gras, yum) and it’s BYOB so you’ll absolutely get bent and vomit in one of those expensive copper pots. I can’t recommend the experience enough.

This looks like a lot of fun. It’s similar to something Mischa and I experienced last week in Chicago called X-Market. Each week there is a private dinner where earlier in the day the chefs go to a local market and pick out the best and freshest food. The one we went to was a cold weather vegetarian dinner. Menu here
THE SALVATION ARMY HAS A HISTORY OF
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LOVING COUPLES AND FAMILIES.
When the New York City government proposed legislation requiring equal benefits to unmarried domestic partners for any entities doing business with the city, the Salvation Army threatened to close every single soup kitchen in New York City.
The Salvation Army ironically wraps itself in the Civil Rights act, claiming their bigoted beliefs and practices are justified by their religious dogma. The Salvation Army provides valuable services, but they shouldn’t come at the cost of equal rights.
Send the message that leveraging the health, safety, and the possible starvation of thousands of homeless men and women over the issue of equal rights for same sex couples is unacceptable.
