"In April 2010, Ashley Rawlings and I used community fundraising to raise nearly $24,000 to breathe new life into our book,
Art Space Tokyo. My goal [
in this blog post] is to outline what we did and why we did it, with the hope of inspiring anyone with an itch, gumption and a good narrative, to do the same. To bring beautiful, well-considered things into the world."

Atmospheric Optics.
Rainbows,
in spray,
of moonlight,
in reflective paint,
without sky,
with spokes,
twinned,
reflected,
in clouds,
in the fog, more.
Halos,
horizon distortion,
green flashes,
pillars,
near-contrails.
Surface and volume shadows.
Waves atop the atmosphere.
Mysteries.
Picture of the Day.
Via.
Previously. Still no unicorns.

Would you like a latte while I print that up for you?
The
Espresso Book Machine (
previously) that was in the
New York Public Library has just moved to the
Northshire Bookstore in Vermont. The beta versions of this portable book-making machine are pumping out paperbacks around a book a minute at the Open Content Alliance, The Library of Alexandria, The New Orleans Public Library, and the University of Alberta. The mass produced commercial version of the machine is scheduled to roll off the assembly line within the year and will be priced between $50,000 and $20,000. Combined with
one of these, publishing as we know it may never be the same.
