Statement, Del Harrow : The Hamilton building at the Denver Art Museum responds to the natural landscape with carefully calibrated geometric volumes. I think of my installation as a kind of tapestry – or embroidery – embellishing this architecture with a more intricate structure.
Many of the qualities of ceramics make it ideal for large scale architectural applications: it is permanent, colorful, and relatively simple to form.
But clay also presents considerable challenges. It is fragile, heavy, and requires a kiln large enough to contain and carefully heat each component part.
For a thousand years architects have developed strategies for constructing large surfaces by connecting many clay pieces (The Sydney Opera House and the Alhambra are two of my personal favorites). Innovations in complex geometry have emerged from their solutions. Peter Lu, a Physicist and Harvard Professor, discovered the use of Penrose geometry in Medieval Iranian architecture. Penrose geometry – an idea not discovered in the west for another 500 years – is a series of non-repeating tessellating polygons – in this case a functional solution for aligning ceramic tiles on a wall, and also a revelation as a component of fractal geometry; a mathematical concept for reflecting on form in nature.
While more modest in scale and complexity the components of this installation are borne out of the same impulse. The Hamilton Building at the Denver Art Museum is an ideal site. The building responds to the natural landscape with carefully calibrated geometric shapes. My installation is a second layer – a more intricate structure for weaving together the geometries of nature with the volumes of this architecture. The scale of the building and the significance of this exhibition have provided the catalyst for my largest and most ambitious work to date.

Ceramics Now Magazine: Tell us about your works exhibited at the Overthrown: Clay Without Limits exhibition. What do they represent and what message do you want to deliver?
Del Harrow :The work in this show was partly a response to the architecture of this building. The pieces deal with pattern, repetition, geometry, and difference. The textures and patterns that come from the many stages and layers of the process of making something with clay. I don't have a particular message that I want to deliver.
Ceramics Now Magazine: Have you ever attempted to create a new material or to replicate a texture of a material in order to make your installations more exclusive?
Del Harrow : I do think a lot about the qualities and textures of materials but I don't think I'm trying to make the installations more "exclusive". I think of my use of materials as pretty inclusive or democratic. My installations are compositions, there are a lot of different metaphors I use to think about their structure - music and cooking are a couple - so I'm thinking about creating an experience that comes out of a play with repetition and difference. Material qualities are one layer of the composition.
There is a chapter in Baudrillard's book "The System of Objects" called "Natural Wood and Cutural Wood" where he discusses the cultural hierarchies of various materials. For example vinyl siding imprinted with a wood grain is typically assigned a lower position in the hierarchy of materials that natural wood siding even though the vinyl siding probably performs it's function better (of course Baudrillard also wrote this book in the 1960's before we were aware of some of the health risks of "off gassing" from too much plastic in building materials). We also have an aesthetic experience of material qualities. Man made materials tend to have more uniformity in their pattern and texture. I don't see one type of material - synthetic or natural - as inherently superior and I think that even the line between the two categories is pretty fuzzy. Ceramic materials have a long history of borrowing qualities and textures and even mimicking other materials. For example Terra Cotta Building cladding made to imitate stone, or pots that borrow texture from basketry or metal work. Certain ceramic materials also have very strong - and sometimes paradoxical - cultural associations. "Porcelain" still has associations with ideas of quality, purity, exclusivity, and at the same time it can feel nostalgic, kitsch, and low brow. I'm very interested in these ideas and I see my work as playing within this territory.

Ceramics Now Magazine: How much have you been influenced by the Aboriginal Art and your time spent in Australia?
Del Harrow: Not consciously.
Ceramics Now Magazine: What is your reaction towards using plastic plates and cutlery in our daily life?
Del Harrow: I don't know if I've ever come a across a plastic knife and fork and thought: "this is a really nice thing to use". I wish I would. Cheap, disposable knives and forks certainly serve a function. I don't use them very often but at picnics they are pretty handy. I wish the knives didn't always break when you're trying to cut your steak. They should also be biodegradable.
Ceramics Now Magazine: If you would have to recreate the nomadic Brancusi exhibition, what other object would you add that could empathize with the philosophy of the famous Romanian sculptor?
Del Harrow: When I made that piece it started out as an idea about reproduction of objects and authorship. As I was working and started doing more research I became more interested in Brancusi's ideas about his sculptures being dependent on specific spatial relationships to each other and on the architecture of his studio space. Along with his work making discreet forms/sculptures Brancusi had a parallel practice of photographing the work within the space/context of the studio. The composition of objects in my piece was based on a specific arrangement from one of his photographs. I chose a picture that contained several very iconic forms: bird in space, endless column… I think if I made this piece again it might be interesting to chose a photograph with less well known forms. Some of his photographs are just piles of molds and raw materials in a corner of the room. In some ways these types of photographs make more space for thinking about his objects as provisional and contingent on qualities of light, context, and arrangement.

Ceramics Now Magazine: Where can we find you and your works in the next future?
Del Harrow : I have a couple of exhibitions coming up, one in November at Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia. This show will be the result of a collaboration with Chadwick Augustine. I also have a solo show opening in February at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.
"My current studio practice consists of two activities: the production/fabrication of objects from a range of materials, and then, a sustained investigation of these objects by way of successive experiments with strategies for placement, arrangement, and organization.
Individual objects emerge from a confluence of form, material and process. Many sculptures begin as digital models – employing computer software as a tool for generating abstract form. As material culture an objects' subtle textures and marks contain and reveal information about methods of fabrication – manual or mechanized production – and by extension the scale of economy, culture, and the objects meaning within it.
Objects within an installation are built on a range of scales – of objects, furniture, architectural fragments – creating a composite scale/space, shifting between the miniature, the architectural interior, and the landscape.
Installations borrow organizational strategies from both art historical compositions and vernacular spaces: game fields, farms, domestic interiors, forests. These spaces share abstract forms: planes, mesh-works, surfaces, and hierarchies. Like a mathematical model or interior architecture, the installation is a diagrammatic construction built within the gallery." Del Harrow

Interview with Linda Sormin, exhibiting artist at the Overthrown: Clay Without Limits exhibition

Ceramics Now Magazine: Tell us about your work exhibited in the Overthrown: Clay Without Limits exhibition.
Linda Sormin : This installation, Mine: i hear him unclip me, explores forms and structures of uncertainty height, and depth. I am curious about the sites and processes of mining. Two years ago in my installation "Rift" at the Middlesbrough Museum of Modern Art in the UK, I invited the curator, James Beighton, to crawl through a Plexiglas tube high in the air, wearing a mining hat and safety goggles. I asked him to "mine" the tunnels of the work by breaking open my hand-built porcelain pieces with a wooden hammer and chisel.
For this current installation in Denver, I scavenged and borrowed materials and objects from the Colorado School of Mines and Geological Museum in Golden, CO, and the Edgar Experimental Mines in Idaho Springs, CO. Boulder ReSource and thrift shops in the area were also sources of materials and forms, including a stained glass door picturing a coyote and flowers, and a large brown ear-less plastic bear head.

With the extraordinary technical assistance of my partner Seth Hisiger, I worked at my studio in Providence, RI for 4 months to create the ceramic components for the work. With extruded stoneware tubes and hand-pinched grids of red earthenware clay, we created linear drawings in space with fired and glazed ceramics. Because the installation was sited on a large slanting wall in the museum (it leans 110 degrees away from the viewer), we needed to build a mock wall at this exact angle in my studio. After Seth built this wall and developed a system of steel pipe to be mounted to it, we were able to test the structure by threading sections of the ceramic grids through the pipe. I've been interested in "skewering" ceramics (like meat!) in this way for a few years now. Final installation at the Denver Art Museum took 12 days. For the first three days we worked closely with John Lupe's outstanding installation team of eight, two motorized lifts and (for me at least) high levels of adrenaline. At first, I felt quite daunted by the large number of heavy, super-fragile objects we needed to mount to and balance on that wall – and I'm a little scared of heights. Maybe more than a little. While hand-pinching raw clay into the piece at 25 feet up, my knees went weak and I had to sit down. So I worked that way in the gallery space – harnessed and clipped into a metal basket, legs dangling down.
Ceramics Now Magazine: Do you find it challenging to construct your works with objects from different places? You can also tell us what it's like to work with recycled materials.
Linda Sormin : I am always grateful for the opportunity to work with objects from different places, with different histories of function and use in specific cultures. It's a challenge that whets my appetite for making. I hope to tell stories with these things, to weave together abstract real-time narratives that invent or re-establish connections between objects, situations, people and places. Recycled objects are used objects with a past life. Their lack of innocence prevents them from being predictable to me, and their idiosyncrasies help to shape my installations. Their flaws resonate in the work, and in my imagination.

Ceramics Now Magazine: People described you as being extreme. How far do you agree with this?
Linda Sormin : In some ways, I think this could be true. On the other hand, I question if we can consider anyone working in a craft-based art profession to be extreme. In comparison to what? is what I'd ask.
I imagine that being balanced and moderate would lead to a steadier, more peaceful way of life. I do often feel compelled to explore the edges of experiences, and feel that it is necessary to push boundaries and takes risks in order to comprehend the situations and behaviors of materials, things and people. This is the normal task of the artist, however – so it's not extreme, just a choice – a research methodology perhaps. If I were less "extreme" I might not get into the messes that I often find myself in. And then where would I be? These messes keep me alert and attentive to the work.
Ceramics Now Magazine: Where do you get inspiration for your works, do you have any hobbies?
Linda Sormin: I enjoy learning about objects and how they seem to behave in the world. From tools to clothing, domestic interiors to trash, digital technology to hands-on processes, I draw ideas and narratives from how people interact with things. Recently, I've been interested in the powerful machinery and risky methods used by people in so-called "manly" professions such as mining and marine work. When I visited the Edgar Experimental Mines in Idaho Springs, CO this past spring, I met miners who were studying outer space mining, as well as working with the military to develop approaches for underground operations. I've often used "mining" and un-grounding" as metaphors in writing and making – so it was humbling and enlightening to witness the real thing, and get to know the people actually working in these fields.
Ceramics Now Magazine: You tend to take adventurous tasks and use all kinds of materials. Do you think that one day you will be able to interfere with fashion to create pret-a-porter clothing from recycled materials?
Linda Sormin: There seems to be a growing number of people practicing apparel design in this way. I absolutely love clothes and am always excited by garments that offer material or social meaning from unexpected places. I would be thrilled to collaborate with a fashion designer or textile artist someday. Do you know anyone who'd be interested in working with someone like me who can't sew a straight line?
Ceramics Now Magazine: Where can we find you and your works in the next future?
Linda Sormin : From August 4 - September 17 of this year, I will be in Norway making new work in the studios of the National Fine Art Academy in Bergen. My partner Seth Hisiger and I will be installing the work in the context of the China Collection at the West Norway Museum of Decorative Arts. From October 7-10 I'll be giving a workshop at the Haystack Mountain School of Craft on Deer Isle, Maine. From October 27-29, I'll be back in Bergen to speak at the Thing Tang Trash: Upcycling in Contemporary Ceramic Art Symposium.

The site looms above and veers past, willing me to compromise, to give ground. I roll and pinch the thing into place, I collect and lay offerings at its feet. This architecture melts and leans, hoarding objects in its folds. It lurches and dares you to approach, it tears cloth and flesh, it collapses with the brush of a hand.
Nothing is thrown away. This immigrant lives in fear of waste. Old yogurt is used to jumpstart the new batch. What is worth risking for things to get juicy, rare, ripe? What might be discovered on the verge of things going bad?
Linda Sormin is a Canadian sculptor based in Providence, Rhode Island. Through objects and site-specific installations, Sormin's work explores issues of fragility and aggression, mobility and survival. Born in Bangkok, Sormin has a BA in English Literature and worked in community development for four years in Thailand and Lao PDR. She studied ceramics at Andrews University, Sheridan School of Crafts & Design (Grad 2001) and Alfred University (MFA 2003).
Sormin's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at the Denver Art Museum (Denver, USA), gl Holtegaard (Denmark), Vallauris (France), Middlesbrough (UK), Providence, Philadelphia and New Orleans. From 2003-06, Sormin taught ceramics at Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, BC. For 5 years, she taught at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI, first as Assistant Professor (2006-09) then as Associate Professor (2009-11) and Head of Ceramics (2010-11).

text: Pretty sure it is French construction. It has incorrect British wheels, but they are of the period. Simplex rear derailleur, Weinmann engraved brakes. I originally thought of buying it, but it is just a tad too big for me to ride as a city bicycle. It would have been nice because of the chainguard tabs already on it, and the allowance for fenders and a larger tire, and it is CHROME. But it was not to be. The stem is super awesome too.

I'm so happy it's Friday…mainly because that means it's closer to Sunday! Sunday means True Blood is finally back on, which I'm super excited for. More Eric and Pam in my life is always a good thing. Oh Alan Ball…I'm still pissed at you for ripping my heart out last season when you had Eric release Pam. Everyone know's Eric and Pam belong together! Oh and also…thanks for fucking up the perfect bloodline that was Godric, Eric, and Pam. There's two people on the show that I absolutely can't stand and that's Sookie and Tara. Having Tara be Pam's progeny just ruined everything….and now they're going to be girlfriends or whatever. SERIOUSLY NO! Anywho can't wait for Sunday! I shall leave you with this lovely Eric gif!
True Blood Season 6: Tease #1
Similar confession: I was a little disappointed Eric and Pam didn't get a sex scene. I wonder why they didn't get one.
I love getting to see flashbacks of Pam before she was a vampire. I love the relationship that she and Eric had. And the scene when she made him turn her into a vamp was so heart wrenching. I wish that they would get together. Forget Sookie….no one needs her.

HEBRON | Hebron is losing a councilman but could be gaining someone to take over the expense of maintaining the town's community center.
Councilman Travis Gearhart announced at Tuesday's council meeting he will be resigning by the end of the month because he received a promotion on his job that will require him to relocate to Wisconsin. A caucus will have to be called to pick someone to fill the remaining year of his term.
At last month's meeting, councilmen said the future of the community center was in jeopardy because the two groups that paid for its upkeep with their rental fees had been lost. The Geminus Head Start program lost is funding due to the federal budget sequester, and the seniors group also was moving out.
On Tuesday, Mitch Mullins of the Hebron Wilson Gates American Legion Post 190 said the post is willing to take over the care of the building in exchange for being allowed to use it as the legion post and the town taking care of the grass of the surrounding park and the snow plowing of the parking lot. The post would also take over management of the rentals.
Mullins said the site was originally where the post was located, and Town Attorney Ted Fitzgerald said the original building was a remodeled chicken coop. That eventually was replaced with the current structure, but the post got so small it sold the building to the town. The legion's 48 members continue to meet there.
Mullins said nothing would really change as far as the operation of the building. The senior citizens would be invited to use the building along with the town's Redevelopment Commission, as they now do, and the council meetings would continue to be held there.
"We are trying to save the town some money and help everyone," he said. "Some of the things the legion stands for are community and education. We will honor the contracts they have, and they will save on the man hours to maintain it. I think it's a win-win for the town and us."
Council President Don Ensign called the offer a "clear cut proposal," and added, "There are things that need to be taken a look at to try to keep the building running. We might need to sit down with your group and workshop something."
It also was announced the fire department received a $1,690 grant from REMC to buy an automatic defibrillator, and the police department got a federal Department of Justice grant of $6,102 to buy bulletproof vests. The town also received $7,000 in donations for the vests.

Sahlen's Hot Dogs are now the official hot dogs of the Buffalo Bisons. The two sides reached a five-year partnership. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Sahlen's hot dogs will now be served throughout Coca-Cola Field, including concession stands, private party areas and in Pettibones Grille & Catering Center. The five-year partnership will also include Sahlen's signage throughout Coca-Cola Field as well as other sponsorship elements.
Officials with the Buffalo Bisons say they try to include local products at the ballpark.
"We continue our mission of bringing many of the great local foods into Coca-Cola Field for our fans to enjoy," stated Robert Free, director of food service operations for the Bisons. "Sahlen's has been a Western New York staple for over 140 years and, like the Bisons, is a true summer tradition in Buffalo."
Bisons' fans can taste the official hot dogs, along with a Coke, for free, on Saturday, March 3. That's when the team hosts the annual family day open house at noon.

Any help would be much appreciated. Recommendations from personal experience would be good.

Hey sartorisrex -- Have you had a look through the local reviews? Many of them name their doctor, so this is a great place to get personal recommendations.
Hope this helps!

Always interested in blending art and technology for fun and profit.
… And all we got was a lousy broken toilet.
Seriously, the maintenance guy is stumped, water was leaking down into our garage and up into the bathroom.
Who knows how long it'll be until it's fixed. It's like the new building equivalent of a first dent in a new car, right?
All that comes to mind is the classic scene [see link] from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Bay Bridge. Finding it a challenge to translate the views of San Francisco with an iPhone.
A San Francisco alley.
M-Day +2:
If only we could find the bedsheets and pillow cases.
Above is a picture of our newly constructed bedroom set. The old bed frame was damaged in transit, and the old dresser was too large. So now we have a new bed and two small dressers - and it all fits!
The best part? Having our amazing mattress back. We've missed you, old friend.
Thought we'd show some solidarity with our family and friends in Toledo, OH.
Movers are on-time!
Welcome to the future. As long as it's reliable this is gonna be great, especially for being included in the price of rent. #Webpass
All moved in! J/K, but the internet should be connected soon.
Goodbye Potrero Hill, Hello Western Addition!
Here is a picture of our new building. The building to the left is a Buddhist Temple, how cool is that!
Check, check and check!
We've found an apartment in San Francisco. It's located in the Western Addition neighborhood near Divisadero and Eddy. Barring the unforeseen, we'll be moving in on Tuesday (8/5).
Today was Amanda's first day at work at Gap Inc. - and so far, so good! The photo above is taken from the front of the building, facing the Bay Bridge. Needless to say, views from higher floors in the building are quite stunning.
We've done some preliminary exploring of our new city, but there's still a ton to see and learn as we look for our permanent home. More to come as we settle in!
Spotted an Autobot in San Francisco this morning.
Days on the Road: 29
We're HERE! Hello San Francisco!
The weather here is insanely perfect: 64 degrees and sunny. We picked up dinner at Whole Foods Market (which is on the bottom floor of our temporary apartment building) and are all prepped for an evening of UFC, laundry, and general settling in.
Tomorrow we'll focus on making sure Amanda is ready to start work on Monday, and starting our home search plan.
We're here!
We have checked into our temporary apartment and are getting settled in.
Tonight: unpacking, laundry and dinner.
Days on the Road: 28
We left Boston exactly four weeks ago today. And tomorrow (Saturday), we'll finally arrive in our new home city of San Francisco.
Today was primarily spent driving up Highway 1 (AKA "The One" or The Pacific Highway"). To say the experience was breathtaking is an understatement. From sandy beaches to stunning cliffs and twisty roads carved into massive mountains, we saw beauty at every turn. And the Pacific Ocean itself was a grand turquoise and blue beauty showing off her many moods along the way, from playing with surfers and tourists by sandy beaches to fiercely crashing against massive rocky shores. It was an experience we will never forget.
We've ended the day in Monterey, hitting up a local pub before shacking up for the night.
Tomorrow: a short drive to San Francisco!
Goodbye Ventura, hello Highway 1!
We're taking our time going the scenic route up the coast today, potentially stopping in Monterey for the night.
Happy Fourth of July from California!
Cumulative mileage: 5457.2
Days on the Road: 27
It's been a long (but great!) day!
We started the day with coffee by Petco Park (shout out to the Roast Coach - best iced coffee ever) before checking out of our hotel and driving to the San Diego Zoo.
We spent a few hours at the zoo, braving the crowds to see all kinds of cool animals, most notably the giraffes (there was a two-week old baby!), Pygmy hippos, and of course the pandas. We separately posted a bunch of photos in two other posts.
After leaving the zoo, we started driving up the coast, stopping in Del Mar for an amazing dinner of halibut, risotto and asparagus at Brigantine. The views of the Pacific Ocean were stunning along the entire route … completely breathtaking.
We hopped on 5 North for the rest of our trip, making our way through Los Angeles in blinding evening sun before arriving in tonight's stop, Ventura. It's been a long day of zooing and driving, so we're ready to rest up. Good night from CA!
We got to see two of the three San Diego Zoo pandas: the 23 year old mama and her two-year-old baby boy. Insanely cute!
Random San Diego Zoo pics!
Posting this for a few reasons. First, Jeff has always thought it was a funny, well done video for the situation (Conan O'Brian moving from NYC to LA for the ill-fated Tonight Show). Second, it seems very appropriate for our own road trip from east coast to west coast. Finally, we're currently ploughing through the LA traffic and just passed the exit for Hollywood.
Our final panda zoo!
We've really enjoyed our short San Diego visit so far, so fingers crossed for a great zoo experience!
Days on the Road: 26
We are in California! AND we officially crossed the 5,000 mile mark today (in Buckeye, AZ, amusingly enough) - two big milestones for our trip.
It's been another super long driving day, from Sedona in northern Arizona to San Diego in southern California. The scenery was incredible, from the red rocks of Sedona to the mountains of southern Arizona and southern California, to the straight-up desert near the California/Mexico border. We went through two border control inspection points (with no issues of course!) and hit temps up to 115 degrees along the way. Kudos to the GTI for being such a trooper in the heat.
We got into San Diego just before 8pm, where we're staying at the wonderful Hotel Indigo. It's trendy and posh, yet super chill and comfortable. We had dinner and drinks at the rooftop bar, relaxing on a couch by the fire … and it was a struggle not to just fall asleep right there! The weather here is pretty much perfect.
Tomorrow, we'll go to the San Diego zoo - our last panda experience! - before hitting the road up the California coast.
San Diego reached, classiness achieved.
We've crossed into California as of 5:00PM (PST).
The the mountains of Arizona have turned briefly into a Sahara-esque desert with rippled sand dunes. This quickly made way to the picture above: scrubland and flat.
As you can see in the map picture above, we are also close enough to the US - Mexico border to see the fence and what lies beyond.
Wow, 109 degrees in the shade!
Phoenix, AZ is a tad warm.
Cumulative miles: 4793.8
We'll tick over 5k today!
Today's objectives:
- Get outta here before Amanda succumbs to Sedona's charm
- Breakfast (we slept through dinner)
- Make our way to San Diego
Estimated miles: 470
Today's objective:
- Petrified forest
- Drive to Sedona, AZ
- Watch team USAs World Cup match
Days on the Road: 25
We said goodbye to Albuquerque by 6am and drove through some truly beautiful scenery - including a quick stop at the Petrified Forest - on our way to today's stop, Sedona. Amanda drove the second part of today's route, which included some seriously curvy, gorgeous but mildly terrifying cliff side roads. She has some work to do before making her Top Gear debut.
We arrived in Sedona around 11:30am (PST), checked into our hotel, and headed to the Olde Sedona Bar and Grille to secure good seats for the USA vs Belgium game. The food was great, and the crowd was a little nuts, so it was definitely a good choice. Jeff stayed through the heartbreaking end while Amanda headed out during the first overtime to get a massage and manicure.
Our evening was very exciting: we laid down for a "nap" and just woke up.
Tomorrow, we'll have breakfast and do a little local exploring before hitting the road to San Diego. That's right… Tomorrow, we arrive in California to start the final leg of our journey to San Francisco!
Name that plant!
We picked up a souvenir succulent back in Folly but haven't come up with a name for the 'lil guy. If you can think of an appropriate name then text, tweet, message, comment or email us your suggestions and we will pick a winner once we reach San Francisco (which is only a few days away)!
We caught the sunrise in Albuquerque at ~6am (from a Starbucks parking lot of course).
Today's objectives:
- Petrified forest
- Drive to Sedona, AZ
- Watch team USA's World Cup match
Days on the Road: 24
It's been a lonnnnng day of driving from Dallas to Albuquerque - about 650 miles. We are beat.
It's one of those days that feels like more than one day, since this morning we were with our lovely friends in Dallas and spent a few fun hours at the Perot Museum, yet now we're in New Mexico and feel a million miles away. But - we're that much closer to California!
While we were on the road, we had some great Mexican food, Amanda got first week scoop from her new boss, we visited a totally random car museum attached to a roadside gas station/convenience store, and we watched a gorgeous sunset. We also took advantage of the time to make our San Francisco apartment wish list, so it'll be interesting to see how close we can get!
Tomorrow, we'll get up super early and do a shorter day of driving to Sedona, where we'll watch the USA vs Belgium game and Amanda will hopefully get some spa treatments.
But for now … we sleep. Goodnight!
Today's cumulative mileage: 3768.8
Today's objectives:
- Check out the Perot Museum
- Albuquerque? (Decide on which route to take)
- Avoid traffic jams (of doom)
Days on the Road: 23
We explored the Memphis Zoo in a massive downpour, complete with one passed out panda and another who wouldn't turn around to face us. But hey - pandas! We mostly had the zoo to ourselves human-wise, and very few animals were out too. More pictures to come later.
All in all, our Memphis Zoo experience felt a little like Jurassic Park, and we left soaking wet and a bit eaten up by mosquitos.
From there, we had a hell of a time getting out of Memphis, thanks to lots of flooded streets and construction. Between the insanity of trying to leave Memphis, the excessive construction in Arkansas, and a crazy accident in Texas that shut down the highway, today's drive took almost four hours longer than expected and was generally pretty miserable.
However, despite all that, we arrived safely in Dallas and had a wonderful (but way too short) evening with our friends Katie and Nate and their son, Hudson. After some fantastic barbecue, good local beer, and hours of great conversation, we're headed to bed.
Good morning Memphis… Any chance of clearing up so our zoo day isn't all ponchos and umbrellas?
Today's objectives:
- Let the thunderstorms pass
- See the Memphis Zoo and their Pandas
- Rack up 450 miles on our way to Dallas, TX
The far away lightning and rolling thunder make this storm sound like something out of "War of the Worlds."
Beep! Beeeeeeep!
Wow, getting emergency alerts on iPhone at 4AM sure does a great job of making one be startled awake.
On the plus side, hey, nice lightning and thunder show. If only we had alerts this jolting when new episodes of our favorite tv shows were on.
Days on the Road: 22
Zoo Atlanta did not disappoint. The pandas were highly entertaining (check out the videos posted earlier for maximum high jinks). Amanda made friends with giraffes (yet another video posted earlier). The king cobra was sufficiently terrifying. All in all, another great zoo experience!
Around noon, we hit the road to Memphis, driving through Alabama and Mississippi before arriving in Tennessee. It's been storming like crazy since we checked into our hotel, so we opted to order pizza and watch HGTV for the night vs braving the thunderstorms.
Tomorrow, we'll visit the Memphis zoo in the morning, then it's onward to Dallas!
Amanda fed giraffes today at Zoo Atlanta!
The craziest panda ever, part 2 - at Zoo Atlanta
Zoo Atlanta panda doing a somersault for us this morning - absolutely adorable.
Today's objectives:
- Pandas! Aka explore Zoo Atlanta
- Say goodbye to Atlanta
- Drive to Memphis, TN
Today's expected mileage = ~380
We're just leaving Zoo Atlanta, where a panda did a somersault for us (we have video!) and Amanda got to feed a giraffe (pics to come). Pretty epic zoo trip.
More from the High in Atlanta
Days on the Road: 21
We've officially started the second half of our trek across the US.
After laundry, some last minute shopping, and a quick bite to eat, we said our goodbyes to Folly Beach and hit the road to Atlanta under big southern skies.
We arrived in Atlanta around 6pm and did a quick change of clothes before heading to the High Museum of Art. The Dream Cars exhibit - featuring concept cars through history - was fascinating and quite incredible. We ended up exploring several other exhibits at the museum, too, taking advantage of their extended hours on Friday nights.
After a super long day, we opted for an easy dinner - jimmy johns delivery - and HGTV to close out the evening. Tomorrow: twin baby pandas at the Atlanta Zoo, then another long drive to Memphis!
Days on the Road: 20
Our last full day in Folly! And it was fabulous.
We were up before sunrise to walk the beach in search of turtle tracks. No luck, but we did have a lovely walk and witness a beautiful sunrise.
After a nap, we had lunch at Snapper Jack's and watched the USA v. Germany game. We spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach, swimming and relaxing in the sun.
While we were getting ready for dinner (an encore visit to Taco Boy!) we got to watch a wedding from our hotel balcony, and now Amanda is all about starting a Folly Weddings Alumni group for people married here.
Tomorrow we say goodbye to our beloved Folly Beach - which is never easy, but we are excited to start our journey west to our new California home.
To imbue human emotion to an inanimate object is among the most difficult tasks in marketing. Volkswagen accomplishes this perfectly in their spot "Kombi Last Wishes" – which says goodbye to the iconic VW Microbus.
A great marketing effort made all the more impressive considering it is for a discontinued product. The only similar spot that comes to mind is the Ikea "Lamp" commercial (History).
Joseph Williams writes in The Atlantic: (via Next Draft)
Of course, I had no idea what a modern retail job demanded. I didn't realize the stamina that would be necessary, the extra, unpaid duties that would be tacked on, or the required disregard for one's own self-esteem. I had landed in an alien environment obsessed with theft, where sitting down is all but forbidden, and loyalty is a one-sided proposition. For a paycheck that barely covered my expenses, I'd relinquish my privacy, making myself subject to constant searches.
Yet after testing the Mac Pro alongside one of the best iMacs you can buy, both on loan from Apple, I learned a valuable lesson: You don't need a Lamborghini when you can buy a Lexus for half the price.
As Geoffrey Fowler correctly interprets, this Mac Pro is an elite supercar compared to most Macs or PCs. Since it was revealed in June, I've been forming a similar opinion on the Mac Pro (Late 2013). The comparison draws from Steve Jobs' appearance at the D8 conference, where he discussed the PC's place in the newly coined "Post-PC" era (Text/Video).
The only problem with the new Mac Pro, as I see it, is that Apple delivered a fantastic supercar – to replace their truck. Imagine the reactions if Ford positioned the GT as a replacement for the F-650. The big box allowed anyone to customize the Mac Pro to their needs while providing a reliable chassis for sustained loads. The new model has fewer options while moving reliability and longevity into an unknowable category.
Looking under the
hood shell of the Mac Pro reveals a beautiful, forward-looking machine at the limits of today's technology, much like the original 2008 MacBook Air. That machine was compromised from the start, between performance, heat and size, while suffering from reliability issues and ultimately a short lifespan. Other cutting-edge Macs have encountered these types of compromises as well, such as the MacBook or PowerMac G4 Cube. They were also known for a lack of performance and/or questionable reliability. Ideally, this next generation Mac Pro will avoid the pitfalls of previous first-generation Macs.
The Anandtech review, however, shows that the Mac Pro has a craving for PCIe lanes – like a supercar craves more air for combustion. More than anything, the available number of PCIe lanes seemed to have dictated the direction of the Mac Pro. One SSD, shared USB3 throughput, paired Thunderbolt channels and lack of internal expansion are all driven by the limited number of communication channels the Intel platform provides.
Setting aside the possibility of retaining the old form factor, it would've been nice to see more diverse configuration options for the Mac Pro to better suit the needs of its users. What about swapping one of the GPUs with a another CPU? Or sacrificing a GPU for more storage (SSD) slots? How about extra RAM slots? Mismatched GPUs with a high-end consumer (gaming) option? Heck, why not a new card slot standard to drop whatever you want into the second GPU space? These are the kind of options I would like to see in future revisions of the Mac Pro.
Walking back slightly from a one-size-fits-all attitude and providing a highly configurable chassis would be the ideal direction in which to take the Mac Pro for future revisions. As impressive a supercar as it may be, there's still room for a true truck-style Mac Pro in the line up.
Steven Levy wrote two articles for Wired about the Edward Snowden leaks and the NSA. On interviewing top officials at the NSA, after initially being turned down:
NSA officials are infuriated that all this havoc was caused by some random contractor … Still, they are stunned that someone "inside the fence" would do what Snowden did.
Does the NSA collectively understand that whatever good intentions they may have, their actions have been dangerous and deeply offending? The feelings of betrayal they have for Snowden are exactly the same as our feelings towards them.
Silicon Valley was reeling, collateral damage in the war on terror. And it was only going to get worse.
Privacy and censorship are reduced to shades of grey as the west gives up the high moral ground it used to oppose unfriendly governments. What will the cost be to the global economy and international cooperation? And for the Internet's future growth?
With the Everpix shutdown behind us, we had the chance to put together a significant dataset covering our business from fundraising to metrics. We hope this rare and uncensored inside look at the internals of a startup will benefit the startup community.
While their business ultimately failed, the impact of Everpix on future startups could be profound. Not often does a business – any business – willingly disclose raw information in this way.
Rather than an in-depth editorial, here is a list of suggested improvements to the usability of Spotlight (search) and Springboard (home screen) in iOS 7:
When you want to use a photo in iOS, the typical path is to tap a camera or share icon, then choose from one of two options: take a new photo or choose from the library. What's needed is a third standard option: to use the last photo added to the camera roll. While some apps have manually coded a solution to this iOS oversight, it really ought to be a system-wide default option. This addition to the OS would allow any app to increase the speed and ease of use for users when choosing a photo.
The icon changes to iOS 7 have not been without some controversy. Having lived with iOS for several months now (after upgrading to the iPhone 5S), there is a sense of acceptance and familiarity with the new look of iOS. For better or for worse, the icons just live amongst each other without much thought from the user. Two icons in particular feel out of place though; reversed even. The icons for Voice Memos and Siri feel like they would be more effective if switched.
The new icon for Voice Memos in iOS 7 features a linear graph of sound, while Siri went with a microphone. It seems that this is the wrong use of two great icons. Voice Memos doesn't just look at your voice, it records the audio. Like a microphone does. And Siri: it doesn't record your voice for playback later, it listens your voice, like an analyzer. Siri even betrays this mix up, as it uses both the microphone icon and an animated wave of the sound when listening to your voice.
Hopefully someone at Apple with the power to act will feel the same way, and swap these two icons to their logical places.
Good news recently in the efforts to gradually improve consumers' energy efficiency:
Ever since the recession, Americans have been driving less, getting fewer licenses, and using less gas. … All of these changes have something intriguing in common: They started well before the financial crisis and recession. The number of cars per household peaked in 2005. Miles-per-driver peaked in 2004, as so did gas use. (The Atlantic)
The average amount of electricity consumed in U.S. homes has fallen to levels last seen more than a decade ago, back when the smartest device in people's pockets was a Palm pilot and anyone talking about a tablet was probably an archaeologist or a preacher. (Associated Press)
The annual cost to charge an iPad is just $1.36, according to the Electric Power Research Institute, a non-profit research and development group funded by electric utilities. By comparison, a 60-watt compact fluorescent bulb costs $1.61, a desktop PC adds up to $28.21 and a refrigerator runs you $65.72 in the U.S. (Huffington Post)
While we are unlikely to remove the need for centralized power plants, it seems like reducing energy consumption even further is possible. By responsibly designing products and implementing a distributed network of renewable energy production, it could be possible to reduce our energy consumption even more.
Kyle Vanhemert, Wired.com:
"Jesse Dorogusker is used to working tiny. Before becoming Square's VP of Hardware, he spent eight years leading the accessories division at Apple, heading the development of the works-both-ways Lightning connector. With the new Reader, he had the chance to take a crack at a flagship product."
An interesting story on the design and development of the new Square credit card reader. It's clear Jesse brought many Apple philosophies with him to Square; the refinement and iteration of a simple product, attention to details, end-user consideration, doing what is best over what is easy, and finally developing custom solutions.

This Ducati Monster S4Rs has been given the Corse treatment by Motoblog reader "Patrick of Assisi".
The custom racer sports a feast of superficial changes [in fact, if it can be changed, it has been], as well as a 999R mudguard, a Brembo RCS radial clutch and brake kit, and a complete 150bhp Termignoni exhaust system.
The mouth-watering paint job is, of course, the most arresting part of the package, but therein lies the problem... would you dare risk it on the track...?

This robotic prosthetic hand can be made for just $1000
The Dextrus hand is a robotic hand that can be put together for well under £650 ($1000) and offers much of the functionality of a human hand. Existing prosthetic hands are magnificent devices, capable of providing a large amount of dexterity using a simple control system. The problem is that they cost somewhere between £7,000-£70,000 ($11,000-$110,000) — far too much for most people to afford, especially in developing countries. Through the Open Hand Project, an open source project with the goal of making robotic prosthetic hands more accessible to amputees, a fully-functional prototype has already been developed. An indiegogo campaign is currently underway to provide funds for refining and testing the design.
In order to broaden the reach of prosthetic devices, I decided to create a low-cost prosthetic hand while in my final year at the University of Plymouth. I ended up creating a fully functioning prototype that went on to win three awards for innovation and excellence.
The Open Hand Project tackles a number of problems to bring the cost down. One of these is the customized nature of prosthetic devices. Usually they need to be custom-fitted to the user's remaining arm, which can rack up medical bills with consultations and fittings. The Dextrus hand connects directly to an NHS fitted, passive prosthesis. This means no additional custom fitting and no extra cost.
The Dextrus hand works much like a human hand. It uses electric motors instead of muscles and steel cables instead of tendons. 3D printed plastic parts work like bones and a rubber coating acts as the skin. All of these parts are controlled by electronics to give it a natural movement that can handle all sorts of different objects. It uses stick-on electrodes to read signals from the users remaining muscles, which can control the hand, telling it to open or close.
Using 3D printing offers vast benefits to the project, because the user can select any colour, it's easy to switch from a right hand to a left hand, and parts can be re-printed with ease should anything break.
To take this project to the next level, I need to design and prototype the rest of the electronics and build everything onto printed circuit boards. The design of the hand needs to be refined and tested to make sure that it's robust and functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
This is why I'm using crowd-funding to raise the money to support the project and have launched a campaign on indiegogo. If the crowd-funding campaign is successful, the money will go towards funding the project for an entire year. This will include prototyping PCB designs, materials for additional prototypes of the whole hand and equipment for assembling the electronics. Since I'll be working full time on this, some of it will also go towards a modest salary to keep me going for the year.

text: Shouts & Murmurs November 26, 2007 Issue No, But We Saw the Movie By Nora Ephron Table of Contents When they got home that night, she went to get the book. She'd ordered it earlier in the week and meant to read it before they went to the movie, but it was a hard week and things got away from her. This was happening more and more. Maybe if we look in the book we'll be able to figure it out, she said. Maybe we'll find out what happened at the motel, he said. Why did it skip forward like that? He said it's the same in the book. Who said? I told you who. The guy I was standing with while I was waiting for you to come out of the men's room. He read the book and he said it's the same deal exactly. The sheriff pulls up and everybody's dead. You never see the scene where they all get shot. Maybe it's because Javier didnt kill them. Who's Javier? Javier Bardem. The serial killer. I thought it was Benicio Del Toro. Well it wasnt. The guy outside the men's room said there's a scene in the book that's not in the movie. He said Javier goes to see a total stranger in some office, who's never been mentioned earlier. He gives him the satchel of money and he says, Here's your money back, now maybe you'll hire me to do things like this in the future. Why did they leave that out? How do I know? Write a letter to the Coen brothers. She opened the book and started reading from the end. He does this weird thing with contractions, she said. He uses apostrophes for words like that's and it's but he doesnt use them for dont and wasnt and wont. He doesnt use quotation marks, either. Who? Cormac McCarthy. How am I supposed to know what you're talking about with all these pronouns? he said. He went to get ready for bed. I cant believe you didnt know Josh Brolin died, she said. Well I didnt. He was lying there in the parking lot. I didnt see him lying in the parking lot. Well I didnt see him either, but then his wife turned up and Tommy Lee Jones looked sad, so you knew he was dead. I thought he looked sad because the mother was dead. The mother? The mother doesnt die till later. I thought it was the mother in the swimming pool. How could you think it was the mother? It was the girl with the beer in the swimming pool. She was wearing a bikini. The mother was about a hundred years old. What would the mother be doing wearing a bikini? The mother dies of cancer. Jesus. What happened to the satchel of money? He gives it to a total stranger. I told you. But in the movie what happens to the money? She wondered if they'd ever know. Maybe the answers were buried in the caliche, along with some character who had figured in a story toward the end of the movie. She hadnt been able to follow the story about the character who was buried in the caliche because she was busy trying to puzzle out what happened to the satchel of money, but the word caliche stuck in her head. It was pronounced ka-lee-chee. Since they lived in New York City and were not about to go dig a hole in Central Park, it didnt seem like a particularly useful word, but you never know. He got into bed. I cant believe you didnt know Josh Brolin died, she said. Who did you think was lying on that slab in the morgue? The mother, he said. The mother? she said. The mother? He was asleep. ♦ Nora Ephron Bio All work & You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

That sounds like a good plan. My kids are destroying my house. There's paint and shoes everywhere.
best bet is to book flights based on nap schedule...and hope there are no delays.
A couple weeks ago during Make Music Pasadena we stopped in Lucky Baldwins, a BAR, to grab a beer. it was really crowded. My girlfriend went to the bathroom, which was also crowded, and inside was a woman crouched on the floor changing a baby. She yelled out in front of everybody, i assume to get support from the other ladies in there, "geez, would it kill this place to install a baby-changing table?!?" This is a fucking BAR you stupid bitch.

Houstonians will have a chance to experience an archaeological mystery in the Tryptilian culture when Ancient Ukraine Golden Treasures and Lost Civilizations opens at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The Tryptilians, whose civilization dates back 7,000 years, lived in tightly packed communities of 10,000 to 15,000 people. Roughly every 50, 60, 70 years, these communities would be destroyed by fire, but intentionally, says Anthropology Curator Dirk Van Tuerenhout. Then they would move down the road and build another one of those settlements.
No one really knows exactly why the settlements were burned. Van Tuerenhout says some scholars think it was because the people were farmers and had depleted the soil; some think the soil depletion was caused by runoff, a side-effect of overzealous wood harvesting; some think it might have been because of disease; and others say it was a combination of all three factors.
Thats what makes it so interesting to me, Van Tuerenhout says. We dont have answers to everything. We dont have an open-and-shut case like Greek and Roman archeology, where its like, Let me look it up real quick, because Im sure some guy wrote about that at some point. We dont have writing from these people. We have some symbols from these people some argue maybe could have been writing...but its nothing like Greece, Rome, Egypt. And so archeology has to come to the rescue.
