Pantone announced that Classic Blue would be the color of 2020.
I like blue. It’s, perhaps, my favorite color. I have worn more blue clothes than any other color. But is it a good color at this point in time? To have the blues means one is sad or down. In German slang the words “Ich bin blau!”, I am blue, mean that I am drunk. I think a green color would have been more appropriate, considering everything that’s going on with the environment.
Likewise I wasn’t impressed with Pantone’s choice for this year, 2019, Living Coral:
In 2018, when coral reefs were bleaching at an alarming rate, the announcement seemed like a rather tone deaf idea.
Makes me wonder, how do they arrive at selecting the color of the year? In any case, they could do better, I think.
I saw these flash drive cards last week and figured I had to do something with them. What you see is the front and the back of a card that contains a 4GB flash drive that can pivot out. The whole thing is the size of a credit card. I haven’t had a business card in decades, but this seemed too cool to pass up, because a link is worth a thousand words, isn’t it?
I will load 25 of these cards with the album Fete in multiple file formats: 1) HD FLAC 24/88.2 2) ALAC – Apple Lossless Files at 16/44.1 (CD quality) 3) 256kbps mp3 files for people who prefer mp3s…
We will sell these at our upcoming shows for $25 each. Unfortunately the earliest I will have the cards is at the Harris Center, in Folsom, on 9/11. I don’t expect that there will be a great demand for these because most people are happy to listen to mp3 files, but I couldn’t resist making them. If I discover that there is a demand for these I can order more.
The card might be a useful format for multimedia work, to distribute slideshows using my photographs and music for example.
The kit contains nine tools for making marks on the body that look like bite marks, carpet burns, or scratches, as well as perfume, lipstick and hair for application to the body or clothes.
Use this kit and make your next Valentine’s Day a day you’ll remember…
Very interesting and funny. My favorite moment: he shows a Bryan Ferry spread he designed using the dingbat font “because the interview was really really boring”
