the 8:36pm project inspiration — 3 months ago
Buster McLeod added an entry about post to Twitter and Flickr at 8:36pm every day for a while:I got this idea from Chadwick, who started twittering at 8:36pm every day. I set a little alarm on my iPhone and post whatever I’m doing at that time.
Then I ran across Jamie Livingston who took a polaroid every day for almost 20 years (1979-1997), until he died on his 41st birthday. It’s a beautiful project. And so I’m adding the additional twist of taking a picture at 8:36pm every day too and posting it to Flickr.
This will be an easy way to create an impartial sample of my life, with a constraint that allows me to not have to think too much about when or where or what I’ll be sampling.
I think it would be more interesting and fun if others joined in. Come on!
MY STORY
I changed my name from Erik Benson to Buster McLeod on the flip of a coin in September of 2006. I live in Seattle, WA. I'm co-founder of The Robot Co-op (self-help internet startup) and, recently, McLeod Residence (art gallery and club house — learn about membership). I wrote a book called Man Versus Himself. I believe life is art. I believe in doubling down on big living, big loving, big risk, and big change.
I have a manifesto of 12 things you can do to make your life more interesting. They are:
- You must not dilly-dally.
- You must be your word.
- You must have good intentions.
- You must admit to being the maker of meaning.
- You must not feel sorry for yourself.
- You must have a vision that you are striving for.
- You must tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
- You must be the change.
- You must rally others with your vision.
- You must stake your reputation on your better self.
- You must be responsible for your own failure and success.
- You must be comfortable with big failure.
