Turtles All The Way Down

Jake has been optimistically trending towards calm after a helpful acid trip, and may finally be able to achieve some good shit in his life.   Furniture designer, magazine publisher, film producer Marco Pecota and Jake talk about the good life, and about setting up art-centred retreats of their own.   Still figuring out the bit rate levels.   pekota.com  www.rue-morgue.com   jake@drinkmedia.com twitter.com/jake2universe instagram.com/jake2universe instagram.com/jakejakob jakejakob.blogspot.com/   Furniture, design, meditate, masculine, drawing, art, artist, children’s, book, rightbrain, ugly, beauty, Seville, Spain, Europe, eu, architecture, Toronto, Junction, JunctionTO, cooking, Italy, change, revolution, structure, creativity, limits, rules, dogma95, manufacturing, consumption, China, solar, energy, Facebook, Mac, pc, catholic, religion, diversity, restaurants, retreat, shippingcontainer, tinyhome, spa, retreat, experiences, yoga, anxiety, depression, breathe, selfhelp, impulse, anger, diet, exercise, movement, walking,

Physicist and IT pioneer Ian Graham, like Jake, now lives a life of leisure. They were both hyper rational young men who had to learn how to properly understand their less rational sides.  High level, deep discussion with two middle aged smart guys into what they’ve learned along the way about the most impressively complex information processing system they know of, the human being.

Jake is better at getting off the couch and promises more output soon. He spoke with Matt Ratto who is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. Matt directs the Semaphore Research cluster on Inclusive Design, Mobile and Pervasive Computing and, as part of Semaphore, the Critical Making Lab. His work explores the intersections between digital technologies and the human life world, with particular focus on new developments that trouble the divide between online and offline modes of production. 

Chris is a talented magician who has been having fun in Toronto's improv comedy scene. Jake has been a bit manic lately and having trouble getting these episodes out.
