Photography

This is my friend Kirra and probably my favorite person to photograph of all time. I met her over a decade ago at a bar by my place in Brooklyn and I was trying to flirt with her and stuff and we ended up going to this after party and hanging until dawn. At some point I found out that not only did she have a boyfriend, but he was actually a friend of mine. I would run into her from time to time after that but we weren't really friends or anything until I got hired to shoot this party and she was there. Someone had spiked her drink and I ended up getting her the fuck out of there and in to bed before anything bad happened to her. After that we became actual friends and one night her and her girlfriend came over at like 2am and we did a photo shoot on my couch that ended up inspiring my book Instaxxx. A year and a few shoots later she actually moved across the street from me and we started shooting all the time and I have so many photos of her that I love.

Have you ever had a coffee with human breast milk? 

I have. For the first time last night. 

I also helped my friend pump her breast milk by drinking it. 

Directly from the source. 

Yes, that means I suckled from her nipple to drink the milk to drain her overflowing breasts. 

Baby was sleeping.
Pumping supplies were in baby’s room. Entering would risk waking baby up. 

Breasts were painful and leaking. 
Mama had drank wine. 
Milk was tainted. 
Not suitable for baby anyway.

She was trying to hand express, but it’s easier to drain the milk with suction. 

I’m a good friend.
I offered a favor to help her. 
Next level of friendship: unlocked.

art-share

when I was a teen, I used to draw *a lot* of stickfigures.

i remember why: several years earlier, someone commented how they were jelly of my drawing talents while they could only draw stickfigures, and i insisted that you can totally make cool art with just stickfigures... and thus began my stickfigure era:

Fun OSS encounter story: 15 years ago, the WebSocket spec just came out and preliminary implementations were live. I wanted to prototype a little in-browser MMO, but the one implementation out there was node.websocket.js by an Argentinian fella named Guillermo Rauch.

Guillermo's library was only half-working for what I needed, so I ended up forking it and rewriting it entirely (https://github.com/shazow/node.websocket.js). I suggested some of the changes upstream, we discussed over email. I built my demo using my fork, while Guillermo also did a rewrite that became socket.io which was fantastic! So good that I didn't feel the need to keep working on my fork.

It's funny to think that there's an alternate universe where I went on to build the urllib3 of nodejs websockets.

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized: That Guillermo is the same @rauchg who went on to create /nextjs and founded @vercel. I didn't stand a chance! 🙇

I'll also humbly submit a couple of my own:
