I was up all night trying to get into this blog design thing. At 3:30 in the morning, I was all set except for a name. What did I come up with? Media Diet. “Maybe it’s just because I’ve been awake for 22 hours and spent most of them at this computer, but that’s not so bad. I feel like I may have seen it somewhere, though… I’ll sleep on it and take another look in the morning.”

Sure enough, I realized the next morning that Media Diet is the name of the blog done by the ever elusive Heath Row. I don’t know Heath personally, but he’s a friend of my buddy Brad and Media Diet is linked off the front page of Bradley’s Almanac. So, that’s where my little clepto-mind nabbed the name from. Oops.

This ties in to an email my friend Meghan sent me last week. It contained a link to a collection of ‘found photos’. Honestly. People just find weird pictures and send them to this collection for general consumption. Pretty brilliant. All things considered, I think this is one of the better uses for the massive intellectual resource that is the World Wide Web.

Guess what? The link was to Heath’s site.

BTW: Cardhouse is no longer taking submissions. They pointed us to www.royaljournal.com, where found art has become a full time job. This is the best stuff on earth.

Maybe that sounded sarcastic; let me try again:
It’s the absurd, obtuse, and unusable daily minutia that makes important things important and everything else fall aside. It’s the bizarre goings on in the lives of passers by that give any meaning whatsoever to anything at all that any of us may hope to accomplish. Finding creepy photos of half-made sandwiches is important. Showing them to the world is imperitive. Please, if you have anything to add to this collection, get in touch.
