I heartily agree with every sentiment expressed in this video.
The shopping part – maybe not so much – but the hats, yeah – and the candles – okay, it’s all good.
Cheers.
P. S. Thanks, Fred!

Fuck You If You Don’t Like Christmas
Friday, December 3rd, 20103 Ways The Brain Creates Meaning – Tom Wujec – TED Talk
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009Tom Wujec gave a talk at TED back in February about three areas of the brain that help us understand words, images, feelings, connections.
I love stuff like this and could babble on for hours about the brain, memory, language, culture, Giambattista Vico and his posited ever-cycling three ages of language – the Poetic, Mnemonic and Vulgar – or even Frances Yates and her book on the Art of memory — but I’m really fucked up today and don’t feel much like doing anything except watching The Dirty Dozen over and over again.
Why? Fucked if I know. Enjoy the talk.
P. S. I would include Scott McCloud and Will Eisner in that list of talented, pondering creators too. Just sayin’.
I Fucked My Blog
Monday, February 23rd, 2009Welcome to what used to be the millsworks blog.
I had a little “accident” whilst upgrading my WordPress blogging software and as a result the database file that held all my shit together has been rent asunder – thus resulting in the diaspora of my aforementioned shit.
The first thing you always have to do after an unexpected shit diaspora is to wash the cat.
I will do my level best to repair the site as much as I can but there will, no doubt, be significant losses of content. I’m more sad than pissed off about that. 2 years of fairly interesting shit – flushed.
The overall look of the site was due for reconstruction anyway but I’m a big fan of archiving material and never a big fan of pounding my skull against concrete walls in frustration.
We’ll see what can be done.
Thanks for your patience.
cheers
P. S. Tuesday, February 24th, 4:38 pm: Uh – nope – still fucked.
P. P. S. But some great advice from a lot of people. I have high hopes of a solution using a combination of services like archive.org and their amazing WayBack Machine. Tally ho, Sherman!
But it’s all gonna look very different from what it used to be – which is a good thing.
It's going to be more of a personal news aggregator with a featured video blog from yours truly. We'll see how long that lasts. So bear with me - thanks.
