Mugshot Monday - “Crappy Little Plastic Pizza Hut® mug that has Sentimental Meaning” w/ Guatemalan Dark Roast by Peace Coffee.
I took my first sip from this mug in 1990 in a 6th floor dorm room in Towers Hall North on the upper campus of the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. This girl I had met had a personal coffee maker along with a few choice mugs.
She’d buy her own coffee and brew up a pot whenever she wanted in her dorm room. This stood out to me as being really cool. First, college kids don’t have a lot of money, and beans ain’t cheap, but she decided drinking really good coffee was important. Second, most college kids had a microwave (not me, but my roommate did) and a mini-refrigerator (not me, but my roommate did), and here was someone who had their very own coffee maker? Dig.
Me and this girl eventually dated, and now we live together because we’re married, and I keep this crappy little Pizza Hut coffee mug around for sentimental reasons. It’s “crappy” because it’s too small for coffee and it’s plastic. But it’s actually pretty awesome to me because it brings back good memories. Reminds me of when my wife was my girlfriend and reminds me of all my college friends and of all the great times we had.

“Media traditionally has gained its profits by owning distribution. Cable carriage, network airwaves, newsstand distribution and printing presses: all very expensive, so once you employ enough capital to gain them, it’s damn hard to get knocked out.
The web changed all that and promised that economics in the media business would be driven by content and intent: the best content will win, driven by the declared intent of consumers who find it and share it. Search+Social was the biggest wave to hit media since the printing press. And the open technology to make better and better experiences has been on a ten year tear: blogging software, Flash, Ajax, HTML 5, Android, and more and more coming.
But the iPad, just like the iPhone, is designed for vertical integration and distribution lock in. Apple is building its own distribution channel, just as it did with iTunes, and media companies are falling over themselves to make an app for that.
But the real reason media companies love the iPad is the same reason I don’t: It’s an old school, locked in distribution channel that doesn’t want to play by the new rules of search+social.

These are made out of skateboard decks.
“Skate decks eventually see its life shortened by snapping, cracking and/or wearing out. Purchasing new decks is a never ending cycle and this was evident by the tower of old decks that were reaching to the ceiling of my room. We can’t throw away these decks because they hold sentimental meanings to us. I looked at these unusable decks every day and thought there must be something I can make with these. I decided to make some accessories with the old decks and this was the birth of Harvest. The works of Harvest are through the perspectives of a skater and as an artist. As a skater, I want to take responsibility of reusing skateboards when they were no longer useable. Also, as an artist I want to explore the possibilities of what can be done with skateboards. We see the care and effort that a skater can have for his/her deck and we also acknowledge the origins of a skateboard. We believe that if the small things we do can connect to sustainability then we’re doing something right. We’d be satisfied in our effort when people look at products and start thinking of ways to recycle.” (via Harvest by haroshi Exhibition: Skate & Destroy Recap | SLAMXHYPE)

Email Sanity: How to Clear Your Inbox When You’re Drowning
This seemed like a good idea to me, so I’m trying it out. I like the simplicity of the rules: Short Reply or Archive or Action or Delete. I don’t really feel like I’m “drowning” in e-mail. But I do feel like I could manage it more efficiently! That is my goal.
