Stewart Brand on Steven Pinker's Decline of Violence

Currently 1.00/1

Lloyd's Blog 2012-10-03 16:23:00
"It?s pretty rare for a psychologist to permanently change how we think about history, but Harvard?s Steven Pinker has done that with his book, The Better Angels of Our Nature. The tragic view of history, he proves, is wrong; it has always been wrong. A close examination of the data shows that in every millennium, century, and decade, humans have been drastically …

Lessons Learned From 4-day Backpack Trip

Currently 1.00/1

Lloyd's Blog 2012-10-01 16:35:00
Going off for more than a day or two with all food, water, and shelter on yr. back is a big deal, at least for me. The very idea of being independent of cars, buildings, and people is exhilarating, but also serious. No backup. I learned a lot: Go lighter. Here are a few lightweight items I learned about for this trip: …

Demise of a Barn Owl

Currently 1.00/1

Lloyd's Blog 2012-09-12 18:23:00
Friends of mine on the coast have a large garden and goats. Two nights ago they found this little barn owl dead in the goat yard. They're pretty sure it was the work of a Great Horned Owl, a much larger (and territorial) owl. A raccoon got at it last night, and someone had taken the wings, and they were going …

On Mondays I get to be by myself in the office (studio) and when I get the biz part of the day over with, I get the caffeine and music going and see where it leads. This morning started out gloomy chilly foggy, but around 10 the sun broke through, and I started looking through my photos. I have one or …

"Hi Lloyd,I read your blog regularly and love the mix of ideas. Don't know if you've seen this but I found a site with simple plans for furniture and household items. Matthias Wandel grew up in Canada where his parents bought an old sawmill, and built and rented out tourist cabins. Matthias is also an artist and woodworker with new articles each week. He's posted lots …

Small Homes in Working Class Neighborhoods

Lloyd's Blog 2012-08-01 00:39:00
I think small homes like these are a timely option these days. Working class neighborhoods (for lack of am better term) where people move in and give TLC to modest, inexpensive little houses. These are in Richmond, Calif., a city not exactly favored by those who want everything to be exquisite. I saw a block that looked alive today, with trees …

Lloyd's Blog 2012-07-25 14:58:00
Last night drove my truck up in the hills, went for a run. On the way, a red shouldered hawk was fluttering in the wind, wings outspread, just floating and scanning. It was foggy, bit of a breeze, I went swimming in a pond. No one for miles. On the way back there was a very large and very dead buck, …

Spotted these guys on the roadside south of Big Sur. Pared down to essentials. Germans. Lightweight bikes. They looked road-savvy. Said they were on their way from Bolivia to Alaska, and yes, they have a website: http://umdiewelt2012.de/?page_id=2&lang=en

Above protest scene at Malibu yesterday. I never travel around California in the summer, so I was surprised and bummed by the tourist/zoo vibe in Pismo Beach. No thanks! (It can be deserted and restful in the winter, plus there are those cinnamon rolls). So onward, and the beach was everywhere overloaded, it being a warm gorgeous blue-sky California day. Knew I …

I love this place from the outside. This ain't no architect wimp. Wonder what it's like inside. I've shot pictures of it a few times before. Go for it, LA! I'm about to head north, maybe to Pismo Beach tonight.

There's so much hideous architecture in the rich parts of LA, it's a pleasure to see the art as practiced here, with these 2 beachside houses.

The 1st time I came to LA was with Dick Zanuck in 1953 in a 20th Century Fox Ford convertible. We'd gotten semi-drunk and left Stanford around midnight, got into LA at dawn. Vivid recollection of pie shelf in LA coastal diner, mirrors behind slices of pie, 2-for-1 visually, my 1st taste of LA graphics. On the radio as we swung into …
