how we try to communicate

is up to you.


even the illegible
communicates
something

exactly how i
remember the book


i also remember
my struggle to read it
in 9th grade.


i'm not sure if I liked it

yeti hunting in navy & red
finding the cure in black & blue
hitting the home run in grey & pink

or

wooing the lady in anthracite & light blue?

"rome is a movie, and klein did it"

said federico fellini


nights of cabiria was delayed
so fellini and william klein
strolled the streets
of rome.

wide-eyed

much like
their protagonist
Cabiria played by
Giulietta Masina

I saw sari soldiers
the other night.


a maoist
a monarchist
an untouchable
a student activist
a human rights lawyer
a royal nepal army officer


6 fearless women
on 6 sides of an issue
determined to bring
peace to nepal.


the trailer
unfortunately
does not speak to
the power of this film.


I can't stop thinking
about these women

at 92,

open up that trash bag

do you like reading
on the internet?


I'm just starting to
get used to it.


and it's not because
i'm a print snob or skeptical
of technology, but it's that i believe
in the importance of using the
internet as a tool.

and using the tool well.
with as much precision
and thought as it takes
to design a book
or magazine.


so it's a bit
disappointing when I
see my favorite magazines
and companies fail so terribly
when they move online, or blog.
It's like they forgot their aesthetic
and forgot how to layout content.
where are the editors that edit?

have you experienced this?


some sites "get it"
but a lot don't.


so we need to brainstorm
because online is the
future of media.


and imagine, someone
could potentially configure
a social networking site that
could direct people and $ to
social and humanitarian
issues on a mass scale.


what a tool it could be!


so what 3 ingredients
make a website successful?


[visually compelling
not too many pages
clean composition
more or less ads
not too wordy
community
cohesion]


or, simply point us
to a well executed site
that gets-it.


for all I know,
I may have lost you already

the power of
anonymity

you can say anything

does speaking behind
a veil make you more
more truthful? or...


"there's a reason why anonymity
is so often considered cowardly.

If you put your name and your other
identifying marks to things, you are instantly
obliged to be much more civil, circumspect and fair,
or you face consequences in the real world"
