flickr

I’m not sure why flickr is so addictive- voyeurism, yes, but it’s also strangely reassuring to know that all around the world people are taking close-up shots of peeling paint and cement… to see all the visual connections and similarities. And I love that I can belong to groups called “I ate this,” “writing machines,” “aesthetics of failure,” and “vintage floors.”

Why do I support Barack Obama? Because it would be fantastic to have someone who is articulate, nuanced, and truly a citizen of the world represent the United States as president.
Check out this great interview (yes, it's from awhile ago!) with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show... http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=91960&title=barack-obama-pt.-1
