Sudoku Sends the Wrong Message to Children

2007-08-18T01:27:00.000-05:00

Sudoku, a Japanese numerical puzzle
teaches something downright harmful:
if you find the pattern you will win the game.

This is why I ultimately prefer backgammon:
It is more similar to life.
Based on chance,
you do what you can with what you are given
and you are helped along with a little bit of luck and skill.

I have been playing Sudoku a lot lately,
I find comfort in the patterns
and enjoy my increasing familiarity with numbers
but but but
simultaeneously, I have noticed
that I am displeased more frequently:
Why doesn't a+b=c!
You mean there are VARIABLES?

notes on a first draft

On July 26th I had the pleasure of writing "the end." Life is a miracle! I sat with the gratifying feeling and savoured it. I did not share it with anyone, because that would only dilute this passion that I wanted to last forever. And now its time to read all 67 pages of this bad girl, without too much judgement, since it is still a child! She doesnt know any better then to be overly dramatic or inconsistent. Of course, she cannot be born and be expected to take care of herself! So with compassion, I read the first draft.

April 20th - save the date

Apple - Trailers - Vacancy

One day I get e-mail from Lynn Sable who works in sound in LA, and she tells me she is working on a film directed by an old high school friend of mine.

Then she tells me that he told her all about one night where we picked up an old lady who was standing out in the rain at 4am and took her home.

So I called Nimrod Antal today, and he told me that the movie opens April 20th. I just watched the trailer and it freaked my shit.

Next time someone asks me if I am on tv, or tells me that i look familiar, i will say, yes, I am on tv. As inspired by Marc Horowitz.
If you have a suggestion as to which show i would be on, please let me know!

its so nice to be home

What a great birthday present
to feel like I have a home.
After three months
I took a deep sigh of relief when I stepped out of the cab.
The driver laughed.
Thank you Brooklyn
Thank you fresh cool winter night air.

The journey continues.

A New Word for the English Language

We were discussing the good feeling of accomplishment one gets from being able to close a tab in one's web browser. The word Big Cookie came up with was "tabtastic." Any other suggestions?

WILD HORSE SOCIETY

2007-02-04T15:07:00.000-05:00

A Very Special Video Collaboration

The Wild Horse Society is video collaboration made up of two lady horses, Lila Yomtoob and Nathalie Roland.

Yomtoob lives in New York and made a feature film, High Life. She partakes in a lot of other activities, and likes bunnies and surf movies.

Roland is a printmaker and dj who lives in San Francisco and never made a video until she joined Wild Horse Society. She likes cookies.

Back in the day, as young horses, Roland and Yomtoob would spend many hours at Kinko’s making art out of photocopies. They have remained friends ever since, and cherish this opportunity to collaborate once again.

Wild Horse Society will run through mid March 2007 and is sponsored in part by The San Mateo Ecovillage Videoblogger in Residence Program, dedicated to social change.

You can view our videos at:
Wildhorsesociety.blogspot.com

We are keeping another blog, that is of our creative process. So if you are interested to see the inner workings of wild horses, look at:

wildhorseprocess.blogspot.com

We hope that you stay tuned to the Wild Horse Society. The easiest way to keep track of us, is to add our blog(s) to your RSS Reader.

If you would like to set up an RSS reader, we wrote a simple tutorial. You will find it on this blog.

If you like what you see, we encourage you to pass the videos around to friends, repost them, and write us little notes in the comments area of the b-l-o-g.

Thanks For Reading,
Wild Horse Society
