2010? It’s time to shine.
On December 5th, MHB will be speaking at Culture Lab Creative‘s 2010 Trends Summit in Dallas. Top on his mind right now is how men’s fashion relates to finance. In this downturn, we see it’s time to fix up, look sharp and be a grown ass man.
je tweet, donc je suis
In the last 3 hours, Chad Scira‘s project #tweetcloud has generated +10,000 uses and in the process added the same amount of followers to his twitter feed. What I love about TweetCloud is that it helps to reinforce the truth that the internet, esp Twitter, is screechingly human. It is fueled in many ways by our quest for self-examination and in turn, sharing those findings with others.
And at the same time, if we look at the words that most people tweet, our use is also rooted in phatic communication, making noise for the social sake of proving we still exist.
when things get for real, my warm heart turns cold.
PK and MHB are shooting a music video for Crookers, bopping all about Brooklyn before Thanksgiving. We’re going to be running fast, feeling like we’re in Sabotage. And you know we like maps, so here’s where we’ll be, all in a day’s work.
a particle + a wave@raafirivero and @michaelhb are going north to the Future today and are excited like kids in candy stores. Up at M.I.T. we’ve met some of our fave thinkers and tinkerers and have since worked with many. More thoughts soon, and likely a flurry of tweets on the #FOE4 tip.
i tweet electric sheepThe above tweet from @kunur just knocked my socks off. Not sure what to think of it yet. Walt Whitman said that with the mind/body connection, if you lose one, you lose both. So in the time of digital natives, if they lose their networked identities, how do they function? Beyond the pangs of withdrawal, how do they construct themselves?
I feel like this virtual/real world collapse is the cyborg identity that William Gibson et al. predicted. It’s not about inserting a microchip into our brains, it’s about the tentacles of tech reaching our hearts.
