“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

I had never heard of Al-Hurra, the USA’s government-funded “public diplomacy” TV station broadcasting 24 hours to the world with Arabic sub-titles. The station is strictly prohibited by law from showing in the USA. Just one fascinating fact I took from Taryn Simon’s TED talk:

I’ve been posting about & collaborating with nsu for years now so I’m stoked to be able to post that his first official single is now available from all good online music retailers.
The Juice of Life / West Coast Dub release is “…a double A-side single comprising of Juice Of Life, an uplifting old school breakbeat funk-rush, backed by West Coast Dub, an organic dub cut, a vocal piece featuring didgeridoo and a lapsteel solo by Jus8ken.”
So go grab it from iTunes now, for only USD$3.99 you get a couple of corking NZ tunes to start your southern summer off with! I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one already.

My health isn’t great lately so I can’t make the Design In Crisis exhibition. But you should! If your health is good.
My friend Joanna from We Love Inc is one of the designers and she says “It should be a goodie – it’s a group show with some really stellar contributors looking at how graphic designers respond to a time of crisis.”
The opening is Friday 18th September at 6pm at Achilles house at 47 Customs Street, Auckland city.
