This site is the personal site of Mike Turro. This site is in a state of flux. This site is an experiment, a process, a way to take the words, images, and sounds that I create or find in the wild and use them as the base materials for an exploration of emerging web standards and practices. This site is an exercise in design technology. This site is unprofessional and broken. This site is open and evolving [in plain sight].

To whom it may concern– the roses you sent on the first of the month have wilted and died. They have taken on a blackish-purple color that kind of reminds us… all of us… of dried blood. We have decided to place the stems and dried petals inside the box that had originally accompanied the flowers and take the box fifteen miles outside of town into the desert where nothing much grows. Once we get there we plan on ingesting a massive dose of peyote and digging a hole in the red clay dirt about three feet deep. Once the hole is dug and the peyote is running good and strong we plan on placing the box into the hole and slowly cutting our wrists with a sharp knife… not deep mind you, just enough to get a little flow of blood… and then we plan to let our blood drip into the hole on top of the roses. After that we plan to fill the hole with the blood stained earth, bandage our wrists, and slip into the distortion of the cooling desert evening chased by the memory of blood red roses. We… each of us… as a group and individually… sincerely hope that this message reaches you and that you are pleased by its contents. Praise be your will. Thank you.
