  1. “All one wants to do is make a small, finished, polished, burnished, beautiful object”*…

    … and if we don’t make them, we can collect them.

    Scott Teplin reports (in Paul Lukas‘ nifty newsletter, Inconspicuous Consumption) on one remarkable example…

    My family and I recently vacationed in Mexico City. Nestled in the heart of the city’s vibrant Roma Norte neighborhood is a hidden gem that nearly escaped our itinerary: The Object Museum (or MODO, short for Museo del Objeto del Objeto, or “the Object of the Object” [see also here]).

    To be honest, I was initially hesitant to step inside. Having grown up in Wisconsin, I developed a healthy distaste for the cluttered crap heaps featured in the infamous tourist trap the House on the Rock, and I worried that MODO might be more of the same. However, curiosity eventually won out, and I wandered in one afternoon to discover what turned out to be one of the most delightful museum experiences I’ve ever had.

    The museum is a dedicated homage to the “object (i.e., the point) of the object,” showcasing vast collections of everyday items. Originally conceived as the private obsession of the mansion’s resident, Bruno Newman [here], who spent over 40 years collecting packaging and advertising, it has evolved into something of a localized record of material culture. Plus it’s just a well-curated collection of cool stuff…

    A celebration of the commonplace. See much more at: “A Museum Devoted to Everyday Items,” from @steplin.bsky.social.

    As we regard the routine, we might celebrate: today is National Margarita Day.

  9. Before I learned #Blender I was using #modo now that it went EOL there is some talk to get it transitioned to #FOSS and the CEO of The Foundry seems to be open about the idea. This would be so amazing if that happened, would likely go back as cool as Blender is.

    Main reason I went Blender was that update fees got to high and me being paranoid it might getting bought be Autodesk, still no regrets though.
