Daniel Everett, "Conversations with a Computer"

A still from the artist's conversations with an electronic psychotherapist. (Above)

"Contained within the operating system of Mac computers is a rudimentary electronic psychotherapist program. Meant to simulate a Rogerian therapist, it engages the participant in a cyclical conversation by taking his or her statements and roughly reconfiguring them into questions. I met with this program three times a week for a month in order to discuss my fear that I was disappearing completely." - Daniel Everett

Ok, so if you have a Mac and you want to visit your electronic psychotherapist, here are the steps:

1. Go to finder
2. then applications.
3. Go to the Utilities folder
4. and open Terminal
5. When it has started up, type in "emacs" and press enter
6. Then press x and escape together
7. Then type in "doctor". You can then begin a conversation with your own personal psychotherapist on your computer. When you finish saying something, hit the return key twice.

Quite interesting,

In the series entitled "Night", Will Govus gives us his perspective on living in suburbia... moody and intriguing.

4th Street District. Long Beach, CA

Jack & I cruised on over to the 4th Street shopping district in Long Beach today.

4th street district is merely a block long (located between Cherry & Junipero), but it is jam packed with vintage furniture stores, collectible thrift shops, and unique used clothing stores themed by era.

Particularly, vintage furniture aficionados will love stores like Xcape, Deja Vu, and Ruum. These small shops feel less like a retail experience and more like a well curated gallery of design.

American modern, Danish modern, and Heywood Wakefield - go to Xcape

Art-Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavia - go to Deja Vu

20th century decorative arts - go to Ruum

If you got the time and you love design, I think you'll really enjoy a day trip to the 4th street district. A wonderful secret, uncovered.

Fashion Bears

Costello Tagliapietra/ RTW Fall 2009

Known for their delicate draping and pleating, this season Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra applied their techniques not only to jersey dresses, but also to Ultrasuede.

I think "Fashion Bears" are my favorite type of bear.
