Could swear this was a Rod McKuen poem

Thanks to Incite by Design, I found Dean Allen’s mark-up of Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto for Growth.

Takes a little wind out of the sails, but replaces it with a fresh breath of honesty.

Mau Quote: 16. Collaborate. The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.

Textism Quote: Pure pandering to the One Minute Manager. “Your annual report came to look like this, and cost this much, because of some performance art I did in Gstaad with Znaimer.”

Mau Quote: 19. Work the metaphor. Every object has the capacity to stand for something other than what is apparent. Work on what it stands for.

Textism Quote: Except the one about design being frosting to tart up crap to make it saleable. Don’t work that one.

    Thanks for the love. Check out Brand Autopsy’s Stoople’s catalog – Nice little stereotypical bit about Canada if you dig around….

    Liber generationis Jesu Christi

    “Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers have inhabited this most lovely land, and never before has such terror appeared in Britain as we have now suffered from a pagan race, nor was it thought that such an inroad from the sea could be made. Behold, the church of St. Cuthbert spattered with the blood of the priests of God, despoiled of all its ornaments; a place more venerable than all in Britain is given as a prey to pagan peoples.â€
