^ Pictured above: Billionaire Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel went to Coachella with his supermodel wife, and then two days later laid off over 1,000 employees. I was one of them. So was my entire team of about 40 people.

We were the Bitmoji team at Snapchat, and except for a few people in LA, our team was completely eliminated. Acquired by Snapchat, Bitmoji remained, at least in spirit, a somewhat semi-autonomous republic within the larger company. But eventually the Bitmoji founders departed or were ousted, along with some long-time artists, and the corporate tech tentacles slowly creeped in to smother what was once a quirky creative team. I joined part way through the process, so I got to taste that fun/creative culture, but also witness its decline.

Honestly, we were all there by accident - artists, animators, and illustrators hiding in the corner of a Tech Company, quietly shocked at the generous salaries and benefits (and free lunches) we received, a contrast to the poor-paying studios and freelance illustration gigs that had come before.

The 5 years I spent there were amazing and horrible. Amazing because (1) Big Tech Salary, and (2) I got to work with some of the most fun, creative and intelligent people. No dead wood on this team. It was also horrible, because ultimately I was just making digital crap to keep users' eyes glued to an app and its advertisers. The pressure to perform and scale production was really high. I lost sleep and gained weight, and got to suffer from anxiety for the first time.

And now suddenly it's done. We're all out. Ostensibly "because AI", despite the fact that we barely used any AI in our creative pipelines, and only for non-creative tasks. I didn't lose my job because of AI, I lost it because of the *idea* that AI could do it all. And of course because Snap's stagnating stock price needed a boost.

It's honestly a relief. I've spent the last month relaxing and decompressing; I had accumulated a month's worth of unused vacation anyway. I'll eventually try to figure out what's next, but for now I have a generous severance to give me some breathing room. I'm free now, as are my fellow artists. I'm happy they can go use their creative gifts for things that are hopefully more meaningful to our society and culture.

thanks for reading my brain dump mltshp friends. That concludes my ted talk.

My experience in AI with a very large well known software developer is similar to what's been stated: it makes pretty shit for people who don't understand the actual pipelines they think they're replacing, and that pretty shit then needs to be touched by more hands than have the time to fix it. It's a boondoggle and I'm not scared of it any more that I was scared of the 3D tvs, AR and VR revolutions that never came, NFTs, crypto and on and on and on. Rich white men with too much money and too little understanding.

compost bin aka skunk feeder

A compost bin made of wooden pallets. It has a screened in top. It's in front of a garage with a cinder block lower level and a dark blue shingled upper level with some paned windows above it. In front of it is a lot of grass and forget-me-nots and some dandelions

I've never lived in a place where composting wasn't just "hucking stuff into the wild backyard" but this place has a compost bin and I've tried to get good at using it. Vermont says you're not supposed to toss out food waste anyhow. This bin was full when I toured the house and I specifically mentioned to the realtor that I'd need it emptied before I moved in since an empty compost bin was worth a lot more to me than a bin of compost (I am not much of a gardener). We had what I hope is our last frost this past week and the forget-me-nots are out in earnest and I just thought it looked so nice. The skunks have burrowed in to the back of it occasionally and I pretend not to notice.

In architecture school I wrote a paper about how Cincinnati was consistently behind the curve in adopting new modes of transportation - canals, rail, subway - and how if it had been more forward thinking it could’ve risen to much greater prominence.

In retrospect it was my first taste of the discipline of planning, and if I’d recognized that sooner I might have saved myself a lot of trouble floundering in design. Bit of irony there I’d never noticed until now.

Related to my last post, this is the visual style we are going for. Sort of a 40’s/50’s workshop manual photography direction.

If you look back through my shake you’ll see posts about Hamill Industries. They do wild shit with video. This is their workshop. Pablo, one of the partners, has a lot of amazing machinery. Some of it works and some doesn’t. This is an old, massive drill press that isn’t working yet. I chucked in a bit and Chris held up a length of steel bar from the lathe station to fake a handle.

Same gear specs as the last image. I think the flash power was set to 1/4 +0.7.

I had a big plan to ride 180 miles in SW Montana this weekend, starting and ending at Virginia City. A burgeoning lung infection had other ideas and I scrapped the ride about 8 miles in. So lemons, lemonade, etc, I decided to camp out at my initial destination (Red Rock Lakes NWR), then promptly got a flat tire. I had a fun problem of driving 110 mi on an interstate at 50 mph on a donut spare to get to the only open tire shop open on a Sunday, or get stuck until today when tire shops opened back up from the long weekend. Anyhow, the spare held, and I made it to Vigilante Cabin, my destination for night 2. Lots of lemons this weekend, but of all worked out pretty ok ultimately.

Chris and I are still working on images for my master final project. Next week I have an informal presentation to the tutors. A month from now it’ll be in exhibition!

This is technically a “botched” image from the set we took yesterday. The flash didn’t trigger. Because it’s outside and I’m pushing the film to 1600 iso, the image didn’t expose to black. I really like how it turned out! It doesn’t work for the series but I like it on its own.

Gear nerdery: Hasselblad 500 c/m, 85 2.8 at f8, 1/250 shutter, tri-x 400 pushed to 1600. The flash that didn’t fire was a godox tt350 (great little flash, needed batteries). I used a godox trigger with a sync cable.

RIP Sonny Rollins

Black and white photo of several dozen people clustered on and around a brownstone staircase in Harlem in 1958. People present include Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, Gene Krupa, Charles Mingus, Lester Young, and Art Blakey. There are also about a dozen young boys, plus Count Basie, sitting on the curb in front of them.

The Big Sherrin - Ungarie, NSW

An AFL footbal, in the home of the Danihers, Ungarie. The town is famously known as the birthplace and hometown of the Daniher brothers—Terry, Neale, Anthony, and Chris—who all played for the Essendon Football Club.

Posting this one in honour of Neale, who passed away yesterday from MND. He was an icon of Australian football as both a player and a coach. the coach of the Melbourne Football Club between 1998 and 2007, and also held coaching positions with Essendon, Fremantle and West Coast.

He is also the 2016 Australian of The Year

If I might go a step further @Argie and say that Neale Daniher spent the last decade or so, since his diagnosis, publicising MND and inspiring people to raise funds to research this horrible nervous disorder.
Without Neale Daniher, I'm sure most of the Australian population would not know what MND is, let alone contribute millions of dollars to try and help find a cure.
He was a solid footballer and a reasonable coach but a giant among men.

Photograph of a blank wall on the side of a housing block. The wall is about 3 stories high.
More than two years ago, one of my neighbors suggested to me that I should paint a mural on an ugly wall at a square down my street.

It took me forever to scrape enough courage together to get funding from various kinds of places. But I managed. I got the money. I got the permits. I got the scissor lift. I got the wall renovated and plastered. I got the paint and a colleague that is going to help me. And it should be ready by June 13, because then it’s going to be officially opened.

I found the whole process rather nerve-racking because all in all it’s about €18,000. But my goodness, will I be happy and relieved once it’s done.

Melanie, my sister who has lived in Japan for 30+ years, received the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon" the other day. It's the highest honour that can be given to a civilian (non-politician). She received it for "Contributions to the Australia Japan relationship and economic development". As part of the ceremony she had an audience with the Emperor, who she said "was very short".

Melanie is the little urban overachiever of our family. She's on the boards of Asahi, Mitsubishi Estate and Kawasaki Heavy Manufacturing, in addition to knowing just about everyone in the world. She regularly sends photos when she's out with various Heads of State.

I just happened to have a trip to Japan planned when the award was announced, so I got to represent the family. Unfortunately not allowed to be part of the official events, but we had plenty of drinks with friends afterwards.

おめでとう!

BTW, for someone who is both (1) a woman and (2) a foreigner to achieve that level of corporate success in Japan is truly impressive. (For example, here's the Board of Mitsubishi Estate: https://www.mec.co.jp/en... )

Wow that is neat, thank you for sharing that news.

@mikenmar It's very impressive.

That said, I have been drunk with Yoshida-san (the Chair) after we both drank too many highballs at a dinner at their private club.

Hi five Melanie, this is cool.
In an ideal world there would be very little happening and an Aussie winning Japan's highest honour would be in the news here.

@jordanbrock That's amazing, and also: does Asashi give her free beer?
jordanbrock pro Yesterday
@snarkout not enough if you ask me. But she occasionally comes to Australia with a carton or two in her luggage, so can't complain.

@Argie There was an article in the AFR. I took this photo while she was posing for the AFR photographer.

That was also pretty surreal. Having a reporter interview your sister while a photographer is doing a photo shoot in front of the Imperial Palace.

Sugoi!

@jordanbrock most excellent to hear and see 😊

"Having a reporter interview your sister while a photographer is doing a photo shoot in front of the Imperial Palace."

Not a sentence you read too often l😊
mikenmar Yesterday
Heck, I live right down the street from an Imperial Palace, I can have my photograph taken there any time. There won't be any reporters there to interview me, but hey, you take what you can get.

My kid just graduated HS, and will be bussing tables and interning at a chemistry lab at NU this summer, before heading to University of Illinois in the fall (Chemical Engineering with a music minor). My wife starts a 6 month contract in a week from Monday that will involve a lot of travel. I’m slammed at work with 50-60 hour weeks likely through October.


But first, a week in Central Oregon!

I like the idea of bussing tables at a chemistry lab.

Sounds like a fun, fulfilling just time! Congrats and enjoy!

edge of the wood

A thin tree with only a few tall, straight branches and no leaves stands against a red sky. A yellow sun, or maybe a full moon, sits in the sky above a blurry treeline. At the base of the trunk is a small arched doorway glowing yellow, casting a yellowish light out onto the grass. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
