A place for work... And a place for relaxation...
A long day at work, a lot of work around the house, combined with a few requests to see the entire workspace - well. Here is a bit more.
In addition to the macbook and dual monitors, below the TV is my (media)server setup. Mac Mini, with a total of 5 external Western Digital MyBook drives with a combined 6,3 TB of storage.
Yes. There are two airport extremes, one 1st generation and one of the latest generation. Yes. They are on their side, just to provide some more cooling. They create a LOT of heat when stacked on top of each other.
Below that, is the NAD amplifier, with a cambridge audio DAC which is connected to the Mac Mini via USB to provide a lot better audio.

Bubble wrap envelopes are not recyclable plus they are manufactured and you have to buy them, so I have created a template with which to make mailers from cereal boxes. I have tested it by sending a book to myself and then to others who reported back. The secret is in the way I do the corners. Corners are very vulnerable with books. This way the corner of the mailer takes the brunt of it. My shipment from Singapore contained a number of damaged books though carefully packed 50 to a box.
I am confident enough to use my mailer to send the first copy of DIMP (as the book team calls it) to Amazon. Amazon is very picky about book condition and will mail it back if not in perfect condition at your expense. I'm glad they keep their standards high and this will be a good test of the mailer. They only wanted one to start with. I have been raiding my neighbors' recycling bins for the boxes. This is apparently a crime with fines from $20 to $500, but that may just be in Oakland where the poor are trying to make a living.
It takes five minutes a piece to cut and score each mailer. Then there's the packing. I staple the ends together and tape them. This takes time, but not as much as the time it takes to think about each person I send it to and the past that comes with them, some from childhood, high school, some from another country. Then there's the inscription if they ask for one. I try to distill an entire relationship into one line. Some of the recipients I visit in person, spend a couple of hours with. Thus the whole book distribution process slows time way down as though I am moving through another gravity, another dimension altogether. Have sold 40 books this way so far.

...leggendo il mio romanzo...
La scalinata era un’ampia chiocciola, con una pedata
lunga e comoda, segno di una lungimiranza architettonica di
altri tempi. Il lucernario, posto nel mezzo del vano scala,
regalava una luce naturale chiara e debole.
Dietro ogni porta, che lasciavo sulla mia sinistra,
seguendo il senso orario della mia salita, si risvegliavano
lentamente le famiglie, o le solitudini, ancora assopite nel
freddo di quella stagione certo non generosa di calore.
Avevo cercato di contare i gradini, per tenere impegnata
la mia mente, frastornata dall’evolversi rapido ed imprevisto
delle ultime ore. Ma già dopo i primi passi la mia attenzione
cominciò a rimbalzare su ogni oggetto che potesse darmi una
qualche sensazione di familiarità.
Un uomo può accorgersi di essere solo, anche temendo
la banale diversità del passamano, della propria ringhiera da
quello del civico 13, che stava sfiorando con la mano destra.
-S.M.-
[And so he's here all night/ risking the mill/ in the tallow-light.]
This is a version of Turndust, an artist's book project I am currently working on. This is an early stage 'storyboard' version. I've posted it because I am interested in seing if I can use community on Flickr to add something to the design process. What do you think of it? What could be improved? What's good? What does it make you think about?
I'm planning to develop the book for screenprint in one or two colours with hand colouring in watercolour, so each book will be a little different, although still part of an edition. I plan to include new versions and working-up on Flickr as I go along.
Since this book is intended as a narrative, it's best read from beginning to end. I recommend looking at the set.
Thanks for any comments.

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more. This explains why adding the numbers of the 57 individual categories bears no relation to the actual total of the above 160 women included in Blouse Roumaine.

Samuel Beckett was born on Good Friday, April 13, 1906, near Dublin, Ireland. Raised in a middle class, Protestant home, the son of a quantity surveyor and a nurse, he was sent off at the age of 14 to attend the same school which Oscar Wilde had attended. Looking back on his childhood, he once remarked, "I had little talent for happiness."
Beckett finally settled down in Paris in 1937. Shortly thereafter, he was stabbed in the street by a man who had approached him asking for money. He would learn later, in the hospital, that he had a perforated lung. After his recovery, he went to visit his assailant in prison. When asked why he had attacked Beckett, the prisoner replied "Je ne sais pas, Monsieur", a phrase hauntingly reminiscent of some of the lost and confused souls that would populate the writer's later works.
During World War II, Beckett stayed in Paris--even after it had become occupied by the Germans. He joined the underground movement and fought for the resistance until 1942 when several members of his group were arrested and he was forced to flee with his French-born wife to the unoccupied zone. In 1945, after it had been liberated from the Germans, he returned to Paris and began his most prolific period as a writer. In the five years that followed, he wrote Eleutheria, Waiting for Godot, Endgame, the novels Malloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable, and Mercier et Camier, two books of short stories, and a book of criticism.
His works have been translated into over twenty languages. In 1969 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He continued to write until his death in 1989, but the task grew more and more difficult with each work until, in the end, he said that each word seemed to him "an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness."

www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc7.htm
A few Quaotes from Samuel Beckett's:
"We are all born mad. Some remain so."
"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
"There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the fault of his feet. "
"Make sense who may. I switch off. "
"James Joyce was a synthesizer, trying to bring in as much as he could. I am an analyzer, trying to leave out as much as I can. "
'In the landscape of extinction, precision is next to godliness."
"I have my faults, but changing my tune is not one of them. "
"Birth was the death of him. "
NOTE:It is clear from the random selection of Becketts quotes not onlythat he was a pessimist but that he professed a deep-seated depression (see above biographical outline). However it is rather surreal to think that on making friends with another foreign exile in Paris, the Romanian philospher Emil CIORAN, Beckett appears to have lost sympathy for Cioran because of his pessimism: it takes one to know one as Cioran excelled at writing a philosophical romance on modern themes of alienation, absurdity, boredom, futility, decay, the tyranny of history, the vulgarities of change, awareness as agony, reason as disease.'
1984 edition, I picked it from my grandparents' house about 15 years ago. Probably belonged to my uncle. Nice vintage cover!
