Rumor Me Not: Amazon Working On Large-Format Kindle

notakindle

Man, today is all about the rumors floating around and I’m not liking it one bit. Know why? Rumors are all hype, little fact and always disappointing. Take for instance the latest one. The Internet is saying that Amazon is preparing a new Kindle with a large screen for newspapers that will drop this Wednesday. Pretty bold, right? Yeah, it’s bold alright. Bold that you fuckers writing this shit don’t have any solid sources to back it up. Sure, the New York Times is running with it, but the New York Times is nothing more than a bankrupt piece-of-Red-Sox-owning-shit.

And so we’ll see this week if Amazon is bringing another device to the market so soon. My guess? No way. At least not this week or month.

Newspaper Becomes Wallpaper

There are many kinds of recycling. Some have purpose, others do not. Designer A. J. Bocchino recycled old issues of the New York Times and used headlines from 1990 to 2005 in order to make this colorful wallpaper shown above. He even arranged headlines chronologically, grouping subjects by color coded themes.

The actions of George Bush, Michael Bloomberg, the United Nations, Israel, Palestine, and North Korea, among others, all serve as raw material and influence the structure of my work.

Don’t forget about the editors working for the New York Times. Please Mr. Bocchino, give credit where credit is due. Interested in using a wall in your home as a reminder of all the terrible stuff that’s going on around the world? That’ll cost you $1000 bucks, bub.
