The nice thing about twitter is the architecture of visibility. email is invisible unless you reach out to someone directly. with twitter, anyone can follow you and this is one of the big changes that was really introduced by flickr, was this wonderful idea that you can follow somebody without their permission. recognizing that relationships are asymmetrical, unlike facebook where we have to acknowledge each other otherwise we can’t see each other.

Theres no such thing as flickr pro because today, with cameras as pervasive as they are, theres no such thing, really, as professional photographers when theres everything thats professional photographers. certainly theres varying levels of skills but we didnt want to have a flickr pro anymore. we wanted everyone to have professional quality photo space and sharing.

I just got on twitter because there was some mtv film blog that quoted me on something really innocuous that i supposedly said on twitter before i was even on twitter. so then i had to get on twitter to say: 'this is me. i'm on twitter. if there's somebody else saying that they're me on twitter, they're not.'

Invisible boy and here we see the invisible boy in his lovely invisible house, feeding a piece of invisible cheese to a little invisible mouse. oh, what a beautiful picture to see! will you draw an invisible picture for me?

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

The universe is an asymmetrical entity. i am inclined to believe that life as it is manifested to us must be a function of the asymmetry of the universe or of the consequence of this fact. the universe is asymmetrical; for if one placed the entire set of bodies that compose the solar system, each moving in its own way, before a mirror, the image shown would not be superimposable on the reality.
Life Believe Moving
The ones who show up to take, they show up and say, "hi. my name is steve. i'm an expert in this and i've studied this and i've worked with these clients." on every single power point presentation, it has their email, their twitter handle and their facebook account, so you can follow them. at the end, they tell you, "please follow me." when you ask them a question, they say, "well, i could tell you the answer, but you should really just read my book."

Some people have a knack, for example, of being able to tell when someone's lying to them. they may not know what the truth is, but they can tell when someone is trying to lead them astray or sell them something shady. i think he had that ability to an amazing degree. i also think he thought, without saying it explicitly, that you can convince a crowd of something that's not true more easily than you can one person at a time.
