HEY TUMBLR
Give me stuff to draw! Ask me to draw some stuff! I want it to be nerdy stuff. Maybe even sexy, nerdy stuff. Like Leia naked on a bearskin rug (I drew thatone time.) Gimme! I will draw it!
What do you want to see?

I hope that you find this encouraging and motivational, rather than negative. I just wanted to drop a line saying I look forward to the next Stagedive. Oh, and I heard some stuff from you on Snap recently that was excellent. Keep it up.
OK, time to be honest here. I don’t know about the future of Stagedive. We went through a lot of changes at work, and my job is kicking my ass and taking up a huge chunk of my time right now. So if it comes down to making Snap Judgment good or making Stagedive I’ll take the former. :/ If we wind up getting more staff for our show eventually, this might change, but at the moment, I can’t hack it!
What you might have noticed, however, is a bunch of Snap stories that sound suspiciously Stagedivey…like this one. Stagedive tape reappropriated. So it’s kind of alive. Kind of.
Thanks so much for wanting to know though. Your support means a lot. And I’ll keep you updated…

“I am skeptical that Kickstarter and Airbnb provide models for solving more than superficial problems. I’m even more skeptical after reading Johnson’s argument that Silicon Valley is fighting back against inequality by creating large numbers of millionaires and distributing profits to its workforce in a relatively equitable way. This is pretty much my point: life inside Silicon Valley can be a paradise (for its winners) of opportunity and reward. Meanwhile, life outside falls further and further behind. All those highly paid engineers, with their generous stock options and unheard-of buying power, aren’t making the Valley more equal—they’re making it less so. And their success isn’t extending very far into the rest of the economy. Unless everyone becomes a software engineer—a proposal that was floated to me by several tech people, in one form or another—egalitarian stock plans are not an answer to the deepest structural problems in America.”

“And so, what I’d like to say to all of you is that you are all going to die.
This is a good commencement speech because I’m figuring it’s only going to go up from here. It can only get better, so this is good. It can’t get more depressing. You have, in fact, already begun to die. You look…
I fucking love commencement speech season. It’s better than Christmas, spiritually.
