Makin’ moves?

First steps today to a serious play with serious ramifications. More to talk about in a month I think….. #buzz

New Gold Panda

Cant help getting the G.P. fix. This is exactly what Boards of Canada would have been if crossed with Joseph Nothing and Kim Hoithroy, back in early millennium. We knew it back then, we just couldn’t put a name to it. #Hybrid MPB by Gold Panda Just in case your not sold…. Lykke Li: Sadness [...]

No more scoffing at these startups who announce “website coming soon!!” and then weeks later still have nothing to show. That being said I would add this: Shipwreck Honey website coming soon!!! No really!!! I mean it this time!! *sigh. Actually it is finished, the code is wrapped up, the colors are right, theres a [...]

A perfect Apiary, built from the ground up by me.

Captains table: Moleskine

smallthing

Ive really got to get on the ball, find the disconnect in my schedules. So much on my plate that I am just about unable to manage it effectively. Shipwreck dot com came back early last week, the original deadline was late Tuesday of next week and I think thats whats thrown me off. I [...]

Space Forklift byKurt Vile by MarpLondon Wrapping up my weekly Hive Report to Salish Lodge….we never discussed it in the provided services negotiations but I knew I would do it and I figured they’d dig it, which they do. Listening to Vile, Pavement and National along the way… Here’s a bit: Hive 3: Robust! is [...]

this is a sign I got for the Salish Honey Farm, methinks its fitting. Im guessing this is Summer’s anthem for all the kids. Late night swims and high noon cliff jumps into frigid rivers. Could be fun….. Helena Beat by Foster The People

Press Day

Final Logo copy

Its been one year and 11 days since this bee-gan. Its been 4 months since my license has been issued to do business in the state of Wa. Living fast doesnt mean you have to live hard; its been one hell of a year/month/week/day. Today is about as American as it can possible get. #Osamaisfinallydead [...]

Ive got some big stuff in the works, big still-secret stuff! More next week, keep watching. This janky little logo is kinda cool, isnt it.

Son of a B(EE)!!

makin-honey

the great thing about a private blog like this is making it your digital Moleskine. Idea-Bank: Branding for specific strains/labels: “Henry Pollens” “SonuvaBee!” “Honeydew (list)” “Beelite” and probably the worst, if you know your lore: “Chainlocker” in honor of the old Salt whose land I so gently use. And now you know more than you [...]

Bees and things

Spent an odd weekend down here in the City, Ski season is being dragged by the ear, kicking and screaming to out back of the barn to be shot in the head and never heard from again. Its a travesty, Ive gotten a good amount of days in for the season….something like 38 nights and [...]

This should be crossposted from Shipwreck Honey but I dont have the time. Im busy working in a moleskine, listening to The National, eating macaroons that Ive quarted into nice little triangles, complementing those with lemonade and vodka. Sounds like Summer around here, but its still deep Winter isnt it? I spent my Tuesday in [...]

Lots’ going on in the New Year here at Ninja and over at Shipwreck Honey which is now (FINALLY) Shipwreck Honey LLC doing business as Shipwreck Apiaries. Its kind of a big deal, this time last year beekeeping was just a burning question in my feral mind, I didnt even own a beehive yet; now [...]

makin-honey

We shot this in one take this afternoon, Im impressed. Its a simple, easy bit for 1st graders who sent me a list of bee questions via thier teacher, longtime cronie Ms. Franz. There are a couple times I almost lost it and started laughing at myself but I did good holding it together. Remember [...]

Bee outtakes

I spent the day trying not to jack up a nice video about nice bees for nice kids. I quit drinking though, which renders me easily distracted.
