:thanks:

honestly, it comes from having put up like a thousand posters over the last few years. I think really hard about how people will react to them, how they might actually influence people. I think posters are a cool toy, I'm not sure if they can change the world, but if you hit somebody on the right day, and the right head space, it can be the snowball which turns into an avalanche. And at the very least, it's a nice activity for a Derive.

The Art of Memetics is a good read, although it is a bit wordy. It changed the way I operate. So did Seth Godin's "Unleashing the idea virus" (which is very short and easy to read).

Imma have to get to the bookstore...

I also love a good poster. One day, I'll be able to make them all by my self.

I still think porn would get those kids interested in other things.
