Welcome to the new home of Imagenode and NYCSparkworks! TwinS and Ray needed professional workspace and I needed art and storage. Admittedly I am the financial junior partner on this, but I won’t need the same kind of floorspace those two use. Plus U will contribute to infrastructure as much as I can.
It’s weird that I started in living in that area so many years ago to have a live/work space. In those days all I did was build out my loft. Now when I actually need workspace I live in a little studio in Manhattan

I am on set at a music video. It’s good to know my fire skills are still appreciated. Although I am just a consultant for the dancers. The choreographer has done most of the dance for FischerSpooner so I am in good company.
I am in this weird zone between the crew and the talent. I feel like I should either be warming up or lifting something heavy. Instead I am explaining why frilly collars of straw won’t be good for dancers with torches. (costuming was pretty agreeable to that one)
It’s customary to not ask stupid queations on set, but I don’t think any of the actual musicians are even here. Unless they are crewing their own video. In which case they are truly hardcore.

The ever enlightening site edge.org poses a question to noted thinkers every year. This year’s question is, “What have you changed your mind about? Why?”
Science is based on evidence. What happens when the data change? How have scientific findings or arguments changed your mind?”
There is some really compelling stuff here. At first I thought everybody would just present whatever idea they were trying to push, but that wasn’t the case. I just finished Aubrey DeGray’s essay, and it had nothing to do with aging. In fact it helped me to solidify some notions I have had about science vs. technology. Do look it over if you have a few spare hours.
