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].

I love everything about this video – aesthetically it hits for me on almost every count: music, process, letterpress, booze, promotion – it’s really perfect. Beyond all that I find a special satisfaction in that it celebrates a way of working that predates the digital – a time when a font was something you held in your hands. It’s important to look back – to live for a moment or two in what was and understand it’s timelessness. Only by doing this can we ever really hope to understand where we’re going.
