This post is about how you can choose to slow down, how you can step off the ever-revolving carousel of want-buy-want upgrade, opt out of the comparison games, stop cramming a month’s worth of engagements into a weekend, refuse to live your life according to trends, tread lighter on the earth and create a homeContinue reading "How To Live Slowly and Simply In A Frantic World"
1. There is no destination. Only the journey. Have you ever said something like, “If I had a higher salary, then I would be happy”or “I’ll be satisfied when I get this promotion”? Many people don’t find out in time that “when” never comes. Stress appears in our life when we let our expectations orContinue reading "How To Develop Extreme Resilience"
With the help of “Om” one can realize the Divine. “Om” has a transformative power. “Om” represents the Divine. They say that all the aspirations of the world when going towards the Divine make “Om”, like that. I was in France, some, I think 60 years ago. There was a Frenchman who came back fromContinue reading "The Meaning Of “Om”"
Big weight loss is mostly about the food. Exercise is important to a lesser extent. Do not eat sugar, especially fructose. Aim for less than 3 added teaspoons per day, which is equal to 12 grams ( 1 teaspoon = 4 grams). Remember there are many names for sugar, so watch out when you shop.Continue reading "The Little Book Of Big Weight Loss : Book Notes"

My move from fractional work to full-time employment!
After a two-year absence from running a digital publication, namely Minimalissimo, I’m returning with a new project. Just when I thought I was out... Okay, no Pacino impressions. I definitely needed that break from curation and probably also from the constraints of minimalism for that matter. Over the past few years I’ve focused a lot on making digital tools and the odd experimental physical object. The latter still interests me hugely, and I’m casually working on a design for FFF, which I’ll cover in greater detail another time. Yet I became pretty disillusioned with the former: digital tooling in the age of AI. The sheer pace of development, replicas, slop, and hype just killed my enthusiasm for building. And I thought, “What do I actually enjoy doing?” The short and simple answer to that was “curation”. The longer and more complex answer is building a respectable publication that features journalistic deep dives, meaningful conversations, and tasteful curation. All presented and exhibited in a way that makes you appreciate the web experience over any social media feed or RSS reader. My new project is called MOUTHPRINT, which I’m building with my cofounder George Kroustallis, aka Minorstep. Together, our approach is to look closely at visual culture across art, fashion, and product design, tracing the people, processes, and choices behind the work. We’ll be publishing case files, which might sound a bit odd, but what the hell. These will examine individual projects through research and conversations with the people behind them. Ultimately, it’s about acknowledging and recording the many people who contributed to these projects and helped shape them. Alongside that, we’ll be publishing exhibitions that bring works together around a theme, making connections across disciplines and time. I’m under no illusions about how difficult it is to build a publication from the ground up. We’re totally up against it, but the web is a big place, we’re locked in, and we want to be heard. I’d now like to invite you to subscribe to our newsletter for the latest developments ahead of our official launch. We’d love to have you along for the ride. → mouthprint.com
