News from Derek Powazek:

May 15, 2007 by Michael Boyle

News from Derek Powazek:

The Real Story of JPG Magazine. Derek has left the company he created after they tried to rewrite history by changing it’s origins story – including removing all references to Heather’s crucial involvement in the founding of the magazine. What a crappy story.

Update: the remaining founder of 8020 Publishing has posted about the departure, though his post is more notable for what wasn’t written than what was.

Derek Powazek in A List Apart:

Derek Powazek in A List Apart:

Calling All Designers: Learn to Write! I only partially agree with him, but the sentiment is right on the money. For me, everyone in the process should have something intelligent to say about everyone else’s area of expertise.

Derek Powazek went to

Derek Powazek went to

SXSW Interactive again this year and has posted a great summary of a panel session called “The Future of Darknets”: SXSW to MPAA: STFU. The panel featured a representative of the MPAA, among others. Also check out the links to the MP3 of the session and some video clips. Powazek didn’t just write a summary, though, he added important commentary as well. One quote:

Artists (and I include myself in that word) need to rise up and tell these people to go get stuffed. We can decide when a mashup is perfectly fine with us. We can decide to embrace file traders to build awareness of our work. We don’t need you anymore. You’re just holding us back.

I’m just back from

a vacation to BC and now I see that Powazek has written a very apt post: I suspect that I am part of a teaser campaign which will certainly be of interest to the families of the people whose marriage we went to help celebrate!
