Time Management for Anarchists: The Movie » No Media Kings
I’ve just finished a Flash adaptation of my Time Management for Anarchists seminar. I started doing the talk a year and a half ago at Canzine and have done it a half-dozen times since, mostly at infoshops and political bookstores (Austin, Montreal, Berkeley, Vancouver) and also at a couple of events (New Orleans Book Fair, the Vegetarian Food Fair). It’s based on the paradoxical notion that anarchists have to be more organized than average if they don’t want to depend on power structures, and presents some ideas on how to kick the boss habit.

Mind-Blowing Story: “Talking to God…”
I met god the other day. I know what you’re thinking. How the hell did you know it was god? Well, I’ll explain as we go along, but basically he convinced me by having all, and I do mean ALL, the answers. Every question I flung at him he batted back with a plausible and satisfactory answer.
I have been re-watching the documentary “ Jiro Dreams of Sushi ” for the past couple of months.

Semiotics is closely related to the field of linguistics , which, for its part, studies the structure and meaning of language more specifically. However, as different from linguistics, semiotics studies also non-linguistic sign systems . Semiotics is often divided into three branches: Semantics : Relation between signs and the things to which they refer; their denotata , or meaning Syntactics : Relations among signs in formal structures Pragmatics : Relation between signs and the effects they have on the people who use them

by Maria Popova “Someone on the internet thinks what you’re doing is stupid, or evil, or it’s all been done before? Make good art.” On the heels of last week’s timeless commencement addresses by icons like David Foster Wallace , Ellen DeGeneres , and Ray Bradbury comes this fantastic speech by Neil Gaiman , addressing the 2012 graduating class of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. (Which happens to be the technical birthplace of Brain Pickings as we know it today — it’s there that I took my first web design night class in the early 1800s and transformed what began as a tiny email newsletter into a tiny website.)
