In the spirit of work by other awesome street artists like Dan Witz and Mark Jenkins, Milo Project have joined the crusade to freak out pedestrians and remind them to pay attention to their surroundings with their wonderfully unsettling sculpture series entitled Invisible Minority.

"Win at all costs, don't respect women. These are the tenents I was brought up with an they have served me well. But my ancestors have never worked in corporate America. We're farmers. And before that, hunters. And before that, time travelers. And before that, me again. At least that's how the legend goes. The point is, they never had to worry about how they got ahead. They just had to put food on the table, and not alter the past."

"Put food on the table, don't alter the past," would make an unbelievable family crest.

I think I can condense down my problem with opt-out-by-paying-advertising.

If you charge for something and include advertising, then what you're saying is you need all the money you can possibly get to make this thing.

If you charge for something with no advertising, you're saying that you've found a way to make this thing with a simpler business plan.

If you use advertising and don't charge, you're saying you prefer the model where you make the people who use your product the product your advertisers pay for.

BUT, if you charge people to get rid of the ads, you're saying that the ads have a very fixed cost that I bet the advertisers don't agree with, and that your product doesn't cost as much it you'd probably like people to think it does.

Star Wars: Machete Order

Star Wars: Machete Order:

Next time you want to introduce someone to Star Wars for the first time, watch the films with them in this order: IV, V, II, III, VI

This alternative order inserts the prequel trilogy into the middle, allowing the series to end on the sensible ending point (the destruction of the Empire) while still beginning with Luke's journey.

I think this is seriously worth considering.
