These Things: Poe, Music Boxes, and Life Saving Passwords

On-Time Delivery. Long Beach, CA. September 2018.

Hello Lovely People of the Planet and Happy Thursday!

There are so many great things other than this short video on “Why You Should Read Edgar Allan Poe.” For example:

• You can hear your Zodiac sign in these music box compositions by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

• “Art is a Numbers Game” - I love this article on how to become better at art making (anything really) and what’s really required.

• I’ve used all kinds of tricks for developing passwords, including something similar to what is described in “How a Password Changed My Life.” Similar to this guy’s approach, I like to use aphorisms for my passwords/phrases.

• “Shoot From the Heart” - If you’re in to indie filmmaking, you have to check out Diane Bell’s just released book, “Shoot From the Heart.” I’m still reading it, but so many great ideas on how to make an indie film. She recently completed her third feature film project with Chris Byrne (husband/producer). Outside of making interesting and sincere indie films, they’re just super cool people. Let’s support the good people.
