White Space (by MuseCommunications)
A video inspired by AMC’s The Pitch and the real advertising industry’s lack of color.
For the record, I’ve really enjoyed the show. And maybe its inadvertent window—just as Mad Men has opened—into advertising’s diversity issues is a good thing. I’ve written about this in the past, but change seems to be coming at a glacial pace.

Thank you, MCA.
Lush Fighting Animal Testing (by Lushcosmetics)
Pretty smart use of shock and awe. Really brings to life the horrors of animal testing, at least through the “experience” of one upright primate.

Some of the coolest Instagrams around come from 13th Witness (graf/art legend Futura 2000’s son, btw). He’s a pro photographer, so no surprise it’s quality stuff. But the subject matter is of somebody who also sees the sometimes hidden beauty of the urban landscape. Enjoy/follow/share.

Maya Gabeira on the Cover of the Red Bulletin
I remember how impressed I was when I saw Maya for the first time on the Cover of the Red Bulletin. Apart from being a world-class big-wave surfer and therefore being incredible brave, she also has a beautiful body. I know we’ve all seen enough of “the beauty of curvy women” articles in women’s magazines right next to the skinny-models editorial but I think a lot of times more trained bodies are sort of left out. I think this picture really shows how a woman can have muscles and yet be curvy.
Is there anyone, who want to tell me that she’s not terrifyingly sexy?

See you two on the other side
When an animal you love dies, there’s little you can do but be sad, hurt, cry. I lost two in the past year and I’ll add numb to the list. Maybe I’m regretful too, for the times I walked by and didn’t pet them or scratch their head. Or the time I cut a walk short so I could get to work. Too easy to think about the moments you took them for granted, figuring they’ve got plenty of days left.
Ultimately, though, hopefully you do your best parenting, guardianship, ownership or whatever you call it. And hope… pray they live a long, healthy and happy life. If you’re lucky, you’ll create many memories with them (never stop taking pics!). And you’ll provide them shelter and belly rubs as needed. And they’ll know that you’re only human, you did your best. And you loved them. It’s pretty simple, really.

Roundtable on Diversity in Silicon Valley | Bloomberg West
Glad this discussion is happening. If only for the fact that aspiring entrepreneurs who don’t look the Valley part can see contemporaries worth modeling theirs paths off. The low numbers of blacks, Hispanics and women at the center of the tech boom will eventually increased. Sooner than later, I’ll hope.
UPDATE… I deleted the video. Why Bloomberg only has auto-play embeds boggles the mind. Anyway, here is the link Enjoy it.
Vigilante Vigilante: The Battle for Expression [Trailer]
Back when I was painting, we called dudes who tried to stop taggers or called the cops, “heroes.” We fucking hated heroes. But now I’m grown, so I’d like to actually hear them out.
