This site Justin's Links appears in Vanity Fair magazine this month, in an article by Walter Isaacson "The Great Connectors." Isaacson penned a series of articles about the twenty years since the birth of the web, drawn from his work on the book The Innovators.
I've now handled a copy of his book and I'm plumb-tickled they included a photo of me and Howard freaking up a page with Tim Berners-Lee and Marc Andresson. It's an honor to be included and I look forward to reading the whole book - I had a terrific time reading Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography, as I was still reeling from a failed leadership attempt at GameLayers.
So Hail, visitors - new and returning alike. I'm grateful for your attention! My hard work lately has been videos, mostly up on YouTube.com/justinslinks. Otherwise, this web site proceeds through various orifices, including this rather large one.
This uptick in external attention urges me to finish my film about my time on the web. To animate my presence in the infosphere whilst I canoodle video storytelling, I present
a jazzier trailer posted to Vine:
And 20links updraft on Instagram
This 6 second, 40k speed trailer includes a sped up music sample from Harry Roy and His Mayfair Hotel Orchestra - Tumbling Tumbleweeds free music from the Internet Archive.
This article was quite helpful in exporting video for Vine vs. Instagram. Knowledge like that is not precious forever, but for now - fun to launch a blipvert for 20 Links.
20 Links is a nickname - the core yearning that animated my exploration of the web thus far defies a pithy title. I have been experimenting with all manner of story-bending systems:
Story-bending at a micro and now a macro level! More details to follow, fingers willing.
