It was really cool to see this space as a blank cavas and listen to the all the plans Pasquale has for it. 

This is one intense project. It’s nice to design something physical for a change. Will be sharing progress.

A couple articles we wrote

elepath:

Kyle Bragger just posted an article on Medium about how working insane numbers of hours is not just unhealthy, but unproductive:

Nowadays, I’m working 4-day weeks, and doing no more than an hour or two of intense work at a time. I take a lot of walks. I’ve lost weight. I’m happier. My wife is happier. I’m more present. And most importantly: I’m doing the best work of my life. (continue reading)

And last night, PandoDaily posted my article about how the standard narrative of company acquisitions doesn’t address what is lost:

Some Elepath reading to enlighten you.

Every year, truly amazing short films play at festivals around the world. They dazzle audiences and win prizes. The filmmakers’ visions are embraced and championed by the festival organizers. After the festival circuit, however, the picture isn’t as bright.
Lacking commercial options, many short filmmakers consider uploading their work to a video hosting site. But YouTube and Vimeo are designed to sell ads, making them less-than-ideal homes for artful, visionary filmmaking. Consequently, many of the best filmmakers opt not to put the work online at all.
This is a huge loss, both culturally and commercially. Great short films enrich the spirit. They deserve a home online that is designed for them — their own “theater”, where any curious mind can buy an unobstructed view and let the film wash over them.

We are super excited to reveal ELEVISION.
