As I read mainly internet news and literature (can you call it that?), I’m often surprised I still go for the paper-in-hand publications now and again. Theme magazine hit the scene about a year and a half ago, and IMO has been absolutely excellent in every issue. The only downside is it’s a quarterly… but the reality is that makes it even more dope. I get Wired magazine monthly and can barely find time to crack it. A quarterly allows me to proceed at the lazy pace I’m accustomed to.
Anywho, the issues started off with profiles of people I personally admire (Towa Tei, Hiroshi Fujiwara) and they keep bringing it every quarter. This month, they had me at hello with a Jeff Chang spot, and they kept the oohs and ahhs going with a Wooster Collective piece followed with a rip of DJ Krush. If I am not in this demographic, I don’t know who is.

Recommended+ for any commute or commode.

I’m not wearing glasses for the first time in almost 20 years. About two weeks ago I had Epi-Lasik performed on my eyes. Guess what? I can see.

I had the option of bringing in a blank VHS cassette for a tape of my operation, but neglected to do so. In case you were wondering, here is a video of what my tape might have been. (warning: this isn’t for the squeamish) Oh, and there’s really very little discomfort and no pain… even though the video makes it look like Dr. Moreau is implanting a monkey fingernail at times.
I’m not fully recovered yet as the procedure takes about 1 month for vision to stabilize, but it’s getting better all the time.
