You’re the best. I’m fine — we have amazing capacities to compensate.

wow Howard that was quite a tale, of course i had no idea, how could I ? being an e-friend.
Amazing that you became a graphic designer and photographer, and such a good one!
I’d been wondering about you, no Howard on my FB for weeks, like FB seems to edit your posts right off my wall, and only litter it with people I do not know or want to know and hide.
You are not hidden, so I checked on you finally and found this latest blog…. hope you recover well and fast and stay in touch!
Godspeed

Comment on No Barking at Art Directors. by babi

great blog Howard, are there too many ways to connect, leaving it impossible to connect? Its not just your art directors, its everyone everywhere. Even the people I’m already connected to. From co-workers to friends to mothers of play dates. Impossible! Hours are spent waiting, like dominos affecting further plans, squelching ambition, pissing me off…

Howard. You have outdone yourself. Love the typography. You might want to go and have a look at Edward Ruscha’s work. Very inspiring.

Merry Xmas and a fantastic New Year to you and your family.

Comment on Why does Social Media not work properly? by Gayle Dallas Blackston

Gayle Dallas Blackston — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:19:13 +0000

I am living this take of Social Media. Recently, I have been disenchanted as I realize my collectors of friends are too busy for me. I am particularly
bored by the guys who visit my page, and ask me to market their music career! Just in my spare time. Then, I have the guys who claim to like my thumbnail photo. They pop up in chat, when I’m busy. I glance over, and invariably see the the “Hi” followed one minute later by “?” I have seen this model so often I can only assume they attended some seminar together. They don’t want to talk, even though I know they are bright. It’s my fault. In real life, I talk to everyone, and they talk back to me. This is what I expected on fb. I came to it late and assigned and imposed my real life onto this page of people becoming competitive and cranky. There is little tolerance for mistakes. Somehow, yesterday 3 or 4 posts appeared on a friend’s page. Within minutes, I was blind-sided by an assumption that I in fact, had posted a tacky and hurtful post. Rather, than cut me some slack, I was furiously posting apologies like a maniac. Anyone, who knows me knows I never post inappropriate material, and I don’t allow it either.
I received a sincere apology, but I was weary of the whole incident. I wasn’t
mad, I was sad that in all our exchanges, my friend would think I’d hurt her “pregnant cousin.” I cleaned the site in minutes. Her cousin was unaware and seemingly relaxed about it. It was taken very seriously. Right now, I will hang in and see where I go. I just don’t want to make the mistake of thinking it’s real in any way. I hope that changes. Right now,” I’m not feeling the love.”
