Luxury rental and sales expert

December 31, 2018 by campbell Leave a Comment

A postcard collage of a very wealthy and somewhat sinister-looking man with rolled-up blueprints and a can, standing in front of a lava field inscribed with images, and text that says "Luxury rental and sales expert"

This postcard was written to my friend Matt last summer in response to a letter about the unexpected death of one his friends.

Hey Matt — I got your letter from mid-July. I’m sorry to hear about your friend Alex. I’m really sorry to hear that, and it sucks. I’m really glad to have you as a friend. Your creativity, work ethic, and ability to learn new skills and take on ever-larger projects keeps me inspired on days when I just feel really shitty.

I’m glad we’re both dads. I’m happy to know that if either of us isn’t here anymore, our kids will be. But I hope we both live to be let’s say a hundred years old while maintaining excellent health and financial resources.

Keep building stuff and having new ideas and being an excellent father and I’ll do the same.

—Mike.

Message on postcard:

Hey Kristina —

Thanks for coming out to the science center while Mandy and Max and I were in Los Angeles. It was good to see you again and to meet Eric. I hope all is well with you as your due date approaches. Things are about normal here in Arizona. We finally got a garden planted (in the first week of July), the monsoon has arrived, and I am currently listening to Pretty Lights on YouTube while writing the postcard to you.

I first became familiar with Pretty Lights because of a track I liked where he remixed the Nina Simone version of “I Put a Spell on You.”

I am also drinking hot chocolate, and this is better than what I was doing earlier, which was just eating straight hot chocolate powder out of the single-serving pouch.

Last night I wrote to a friend while listening to an album called The Music Scene by an artist named Blockhead.

Generally these days I am about five to ten years behind the curve with respect to music and pop culture. This kind of works out well, because the time lag functions as a quality filter. Anyway, I have enclosed a sticker from Grand Canyon. It has a condor on it. If you google “capture of AC-9, the last wild condor,” you will see a video of a heavy moment in conservation history. (Heavy good, not bad.)

—Mike.

Learn, learn, learn

Postcard collage of the buddha on an Oregon beach, with words that say "Learn, learn, learn"

I made this postcard in 2013. It took a while for it to reach its intended recipient.

Before Happiness

Postcard collage of dinosaurs in a swamp, with text that says "before happiness"

Reid and Megan —

Kaida is doing well for twelve years old; we went for a walk today and she was super stoked to be outside. How is life? Come visit sometime. We are conveniently located within a twelve-hour drive of several major airports.

—Mike.

Knowledge is a beautiful thing

November 19, 2018 by campbell Leave a Comment

Collage of a woman's face with engine-building advice and text that says "Knowledge is a beautiful thing"

Will more cylinder-head flow always make more power?

The intake-port numbers primarily establish the engine RPM where peak power occurs, and for best results should be matched to a complementary camshaft.

KNOWLEDGE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING.
