Greetings, Interoperable readers near and far!
It is time to delve into the long-overdue second edition of what will hopefully become a "mindful" media consumption series (See Part One here). Personal recommendations as an antidote to algorithmically mediated slop:
- Bricks & Disorder (YouTube) Cullen and Ola are two best friends and are the creative duo behind Bricks & Disorder, a charming YouTube channel where the two tackle DIY projects in their shared London home.
- Cabel Sasser, Panic - XOXO Festival (2024) It's probably best to go into this cold. Cabel Sasser works for the amazing software company Panic
- Phil Edwards - I travelled 3,000 miles to see this gas station(YouTube). Phil Edwards with another esoteric video essay.
- Articles of Interest (Podcast): A podcast about fashion by Avery Trufelman, a spin-off of 99% Invisible. Essential Listening.
- Scott Brown Carpentry (YouTube) Scott is a carpenter from New Zealand; he and his partner Jess run a cosy channel centring on carpentry and DIY. Currently they've been posting a series of them in Japan, touring around and completing some carpentry projects for friends.
- A Syllabus for Generalists (Website) "A syllabus for generalists is comprised of four weeks of general education; that is, a little bit of everything. It contains something for everyone—for specialists looking to branch out and for generalists searching for new beginnings of knowledge." I love the idea of a "syllabus for life" Stay tuned more on this idea in the annals of Interoperable!
- Kirby Ferguson: Is Creativity Dead? NY Times Opinion Video is another banger from the fascinating mind of Kirby Kerguson, whose video series Everything is a Remix is essential for any creative person to watch.
