No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. | | | | | REDEF brand and mood boards (Red Antler) | | | | | | “No one wants to die.

| | rantnrave:// After a long, hard year we're happy to debut the REDEF site v1.0. Congrats to the entire team for making this happen especially when I was out healing from surgery. New UI, easier sharing, ability to follow and watch what your friends are reading, charts, originals, set playlists, social and reader app sync, full newsletter and account management, easier onboarding and so much more. Check it out here... Good use of PUBLIC IMAGE LTD's "The Order of Death" in MR. ROBOT. Also remember fantastic use in MIAMI VICE years ago... I did use UNROLL.ME finally. I unsubscribed from 109 newsletters in 3 mins... Getting my NYC apartment back into shape given my 1 year in LA has been my version of MATT DAMON and "The Hab" in THE MARTIAN. Bad example, but hard for me. I want to apologize to every housekeeper I've ever had... For centuries, the process of selling a good remained functionally unchanged. But new technologies are rapidly transforming the consumer funnel - making it more measurable, more immediate and less costly. No matter how you interact with the ad business, these changes will affect your business, your customers, and your profits. REDEF TechORIGINAL: " Light at the End of the Funnel: Why the Marketing Revolution is About to Arrive"... Underrated movie... RNRHOF: They need to speed it up. Too many good bands and artists still not in. I need DEPECHE MODE, JOURNEY, ELO, KRAFTWERK, CHIC and others in already... I loved RICHIE RICH comics when I was a kid. CAMP WINUAKEE represent... Happy Birthday to OMID KORDESTANI, LOUISE REXER SMITH, LEE BARSTOW and JOHN REIGART. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| Foreign observers of Afghanistan tend to think of former President Hamid Karzai's government as a clan of corrupt thugs, led by a feckless, petulant whiner.
