I’ve been exposed. Is self-realisation the first step?
I thought I was broadening my (design) mind, but perhaps all I’ve been doing is masturbating in public? Awkward. Perhaps on reflection it was just over-zealous masticating? Though it’s probably cheaper to visit a therapist than a dentist.
Anyway, lots of links coming up – you might discover you’re an addict as well…. They’re all worth clicking on – though they are NSFW. Not because they contain anything graphic – but because you should be working :-)
This is the first link that sent me down the rabbit hole: I read this article in Stuff: Addicted to online house porn?
Given it’s Australian references I went looking for the source, and found this 2012 article in the SMH: Addicted to house porn
I then followed a link in that article to one in the New York Times: Pinterest, Tumblr and the Trouble With ‘Curation’
Now that I’m feeling a little grubby/self-indulgent and despondent I’m also reflecting on some Nat Cheshire quotes (who I’ve been stalking on-line since listening to “Do not rest”):
- “I avoid blogs – I don’t want that sort of pollution. I want a monograph to help me tunnel under someone’s skin and into the heart of their practice. I want the questions they concern themselves with, not a blog-roll that only shows me their answers.” The News
- “Blogs make me ill. I think blogs to architects are like ornithology to birds.” Resident
- “Blogs are like skipping stones. Books are deep sea explorers by comparison.” d and f ltd
Nat Cheshire – open invite: You’re welcome any time in Pt Chev to discuss blogs and design – or anything you want. We’ll provide the champagne :-)
Anyway I think I’ll move to that important next second step – denial! Or, I’ll just embrace the words of Dave Grohl “I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you fucking like something, like it” (courtesy of Austin Kleon’s GREAT book Show Your Work).
