augiemania ORLY?

I haven’t used facebook for about a month.

Not because twitter is better, or because facebook sucks. It’s because I want to manage less. Twitter is easy, I say something, chat with people when I feel like it, and ignore it when I want to.

Facebook is different. signing in, I am overloaded with requests, invitations, games, and nonsense that i would never normally care about.

Now I understand many people use facebook as the primary means of connecting and interacting with people, and I think that sucks. If a friend needs to contact me, they can call, text, or email me. I wasn’t  on facebook 24/7, so it’s not very efficient in telling me anything of importance.

“friending” vs. “following”
The terminology seems more selfish for twitter, but twitter is much more than an ego boost, (right). It’s a chat room. and only 1 chat room. not a chat for every mundane piece of information ever.

Last night I put up the latest “one-sheet” for VF_DOS_, the enigmatic electro-pop-experimental act making a stink on Staten Island.

http://augiemania.com/VF_DOS_/

When we discuss visual style for his stuff, it’s often playful. This last album, he made the cover art and it was pretty fresh. My take for the one-sheet was to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) and let VF_DOS_ do all the talking. (also I’ve become obsessively more concerned with figuring out the absolute minimum needed to have a readable website. I think this comes close…)

I needed to move all my RSS feeds from Mail.app to Safari.app because whenever I was checking my email (productive time) I would be checking feeds (non-productive). Safari happens to be my leisure browser and Firefox is my work browser (anal enough?) so I needed to move this dump of rss feeds into Safari. Luckily, I found out exactly how to do it.

With that said, I realized I had a lot of great sites, and good friends on my feed dump. So I’m gonna post the dump right here. SUBSCRIBE TO THEM ALL!

Often feeds come and go. So think of this as a snapshot of sorts.

I made this for a class a few years back and just found it. 2 VERSIONS!!!!

These are about porknbomb by the way.

Normal

Alternate

The mysteriously secretive VF_DOS_ and I collaborated on his digital 1-sheet promoting his first EP, Raw Sugar.

Check it out here!

Okay…. this is a long one, but an important/awesome one.

Let’s start with me and then we’ll move into it…. you’ll see…

I attended the Bright Bike workshop at Eyebeam

here’s a link to the results: http://www.mandiberg.com/2008/12/16/bright-bike-workshop-instructable/

Even Gizmodo knew about it!!!

michael: wait for the engadget post
me: engadget, nice

(lol that joke totally went over my head) 

here’s my bike:

(and you know i represent with the daps sticker (made by proknbomb)
[which didn't come out... :(

]
!)

btw, the kid’s bike was dope! and I’m proud to say I helped him with it. WADDUP MAN!

anyways, here’s the flicker set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/theredproject/sets/72157607881334946/

Like 2 HOURS after the gizmodo post, I see Mandiberg AGAIN on boing boing! 

As it turns out, he’s written a text book with xtine burrough

Damian made this for me after Dani and him were talking about my Facebook Posted Items. (Which you can check out on news.augiemania.com).

Thanks Guize!

Mike Shane took this photo of me for a DAPS photo shoot.

I love this pic so much. It’s rare people see me without my glasses!

Drew made this here: http://theendofvodka.com/. It’s a viral advertising campaign for some vodka maker. Check it out for your own Vodka Bot.

The site is actually kinda funny. It “sort of” makes fun of the stereotypical night-lifer. FUNNY!
