RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile.
RULE TWO: General duties of a student — pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.
RULE THREE: General duties of a teacher — pull everything out of your students.
RULE FOUR: Consider everything an experiment.
RULE FIVE: Be self-disciplined — this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.
RULE SIX: Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail, there’s only make.
RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.
RULE EIGHT: Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.
RULE NINE: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.
RULE TEN: “We’re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.” (John Cage)
HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything — it might come in handy later.
Just when I think I'm on the cutting edge of culturally relevant films, this comes along to remind me I don't know shit.
Steve Wiebe talks about the movie that chronicles his rise as a Donkey Kong champion:
"But overall I think all the gamers that I came across, it captured the people, the culture of the whole gaming…there’s a band of people who are into these games and are hardcore, who play as much as possible. I didn’t see anything that was, in my perspective, misrepresentative of the people. Billy will say he hasn’t seen it yet; I know he still says that. People on Twin Galaxies will say there’s misrepresentations, because they’re not happy with the way it shows him. I didn’t see anything that I was infuriated about as far as the way they portrayed me. And as far as what Billy said, that’s what he said and there was nothing that they fabricated."

Anytime a kid makes me a present, I want to save and display the present.
Even when it's offensive to me on the most basic level.
High-Five Friday!
Brightens everyone's day.
