What a load of cow poo the new Wired article is

www.wired.com/magazine/2010/08/ff_webrip/all/1

 

so this asks for snark.

 

Four centuries after its birth, the magazine is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services — think blogs, microblogs, self-publishing — are less about the pontificating and more about the ideas. Kris Andersen explains how this new paradigm reflects the inevitable course of capitalism. And Miguel Wulff explains why the new breed of media titan is forsaking the magaine for more promising (and less tree killing) pastures.

 

How many years are we into the 21st century, and they still stuff their magazine with those annoying, paper wastting, litter creating inserts? How long have we had sophisticated subscription services and they still send you POSTAL letters five months before your subscriptiuon runs out with warnings of DIRE WARNING: YOUR WIRED MAGAZINE IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE.

 

And what is it with this written pieces that never change, never are updated, in which the only way I can re-use the content is to manually type it out?

 

The Magazine is DEAD.

 

This wire fence with fur & larch posts goes around the premier of our property (1.22 of an acre) and with the city land (1.50) in which we take care of ...

 

Jim made the fence himself in the summer 2004. Around the premier we have 100 posts with a blend of fur and larch. The top of the post are copper capped and the bottom as well to help from rotting.

I've included 4 photos below of the project. It took Jim the whole summer.

We decided we needed a fence for Hendrix to keep him safe =)

What we do for love......

Now, Hendrix and Sadie run free....

Chasing birds, squirrels and the neighbourhood cat, named Shilo....lol....

   

Electrical infrastructure

I made an earring out of copper wire today.

 

I inherited several spools of copper electrical wire from my granddad when he passed away several years ago. They have manufacture dates from the 1980s. He used the wire for electrics. I, sadly, am spectacularly untalented in that area.

 

So, earrings...

Hanging out at the Wired what-we-could-do brainstorm...

Oh yes, we're in the same building as wired magazine, and a modeling agency. so awesome. Here's a video I made of the whole moving process

I have been having an online discussion re the ethics of taking photos of people who are unaware of the camera. There seem to be various schools of thought on this.

Never-the-less I went out on Wednesday with the specific aim of photographing people. Here are a couple of the results.
