Palmer, WHERE ALL THIS KICKSTARTER MONEY IS GOING (amanda fucking palmer)

"it COSTS REAL MONEY to manufacture and distribute a record, to have a staff and a publicist, to promote an artist and tour a band.
that will never truly change.
but now, because we can reach out fans directly without the machine, artists are empowered to call the shots and keep whatever’s leftover…not the labels."

Lopp, Two Universes (Rands In Repose)

"It’s incredibly satisfying to sneak out of a tight spot by performing an action you didn’t know you could do, but created instinctively because of your experience.

That’s how I want to learn. Don’t give me a book; I don’t want a lecture, and I don’t want a list of topics to memorize. Give me ample reason to memorize them and a sandbox where I can safely play. Test me when I least expect it, shock me with the unknown, but make sure you’ve give me enough understanding and practice with my tools that I have a high chance of handling the unexpected."

Media Consolidation: The Illusion of Choice (Infographic) (FrugalDad)

"Who really produces, owns and airs the shows my kids are glued to every evening and which companies select the stories I read with such loyalty each morning? I’ve always advocated for critical consumption, and what could be more important than an awareness of the sources of our families’ daily info and entertainment diets? And today, most of our media is controlled by one of six companies. "

Dediu, What are the jobs that the entertainment industry is hired to do? | asymco

"It’s important to understand the jobs entertainment is hired to do. Not because the creative process can be synthesized. It’s important because those creators need to learn how to allocate their own resources. A framework is needed to help dis-intermediate the resources allocators–the central planners, if you will.

In other words, learning how to create commercially valuable appreciable products should be a skill all creative people possess."

Diaz, answer to "as far as augmentation goes would you consider it for yourself?" (Indistinguishable From Magic)

'Transhuman “tech” isn’t really different from any other technology and the term tends to conjure this false division between “human” and “augmented human.” Humans evolved to be dependent on their tools; we’ve had an intimate relationship with our technology from the start. We’ve been cyborgs from the moment we sharpened our first stick.'
