Do you live by any rules? →
That’s what Rafael Rozendaal asked the two members of AIDS-3D for their one question interview. Here’s their response:
AIDS-3D’s CURRENT GUIDELINES:
- We have a generalized distrust of institutions and their conventions.
- We believe in the sharpest possible distinguishment of ones self.
- We believe that the digital revolution is still transforming humanity and that we must always be the vanguard of this revolution.
- We believe in a fluid and undefined sexuality based on the ability to virtually sublimate any desire online.
- We believe that drugs are cool but not as cool as we all wished they are.
- We believe in wearing thick wool socks in the summer as well as the winter.
- We believe in trying to eat a different style of ethnic food every day of the week. (this is a balanced diet)
- We believe in maintaining a fashionable silhouette at all times.
- We believe in a completely free worldwide market.
- We believe that intellectual property is problematic, but we also respect that profit remains the biggest incentive for new developments.
- We always vote for Democrats, but only because we’re pragmatists.
- We believe that usually its best to only wear one pattern at a time.
- We are members of a dynamic international community.
- We are proud to be Americans because we invented black music, hollywood, public relations, and the internet!
- We believe there is no such thing as selling out as long you are still spreading your ideas.
- We believe that proactive ego-force can effect change on a global scale.
- We want to believe in Oprah’s Secret.
- We believe in dancing.
- We don’t share girls anymore.
Smoke weed every day
You may have already seen AIDS-3D’s flaming bluetooth symbol. They were also in that “Younger Than Jesus” group show at the New Museum last Spring/Summer.

It is impossible to get tired of computers these days. This is cause they are made to last only a few years. So once a user gets everything complied, configured, authorized, and running smoothly, the computer breaks and it is time to start all over again with a new one. It’s never ending work.
“Do you ever get tired of computers?”

Ariel and I went to see Le Loup earlier this autumn when they came to the 7th St. Entry, and it was quite wonderful. Here’s a session they recently played in Maryland, recorded by All Our Noise (whose logo looks oddly familiar). Enjoy.

Malcolm Gladwell’s article has been garnering a lot of attention in the media lately for his comparisons of football players and dogs fighting in the ring. It’s a fine piece, but Jeanne Marie Laskas’ investigative work that appeared earlier in GQ is better. A bold statement for me considering how much I enjoy reading Gladwell’s work.
Laskas focuses on the human toll of those forgotten players who suffer in solitude, the ethic of a multi-billion dollar industry who buries its head in the sand, and the fight of an outlier to seek truth according to his personal morality and his religious convictions. Laskas’ article is a blue-collar testimony to great journalism. She puts the human being and the moral dilemma at the center of the story, which, I hope, moves powerful interests to act for the good of those former NFL players who are suffering and have little means to live the rest of their days in relative comfort.

I’m gonna have to second this one … Gladwell’s reporting hits you in the head (no pun intended), but Laskas’ writing goes for the gut.

Research has shown that if you eat super broccoli or any other cruciferous super vegetable everyday, you can control insects with your mind.
