When Danielle Baskin took a romanesco broccoli to the 3D printing conf...

Baskin is my fav commercial artist/artistic merchant. In 2019 she gave me advice on selling glowing maps, and I got to see her garage-apartment-studio out of which she sold:

1. Pluto tapestries (New Horizons composite) run off an enormous printer
2. Stunning hand-painted bicycle helmets; landscapes!
3. Corpo-branded fruit for event giveaways; tech company logo on a mango? So much better than a tee
4. Dialup, a Bloomberg Beta-funded app that called you a few times a day with "a random stranger wants to talk to you on the phone." That’s it. No avatars, no DMs. Lotta lonely olds. I loved it, the first social network that nerfed hot people. And only one guy wanted to tell me about his impending suicide.
   • Also, she wrote a thread with the gist of "Video calls suck ass, what was wrong with the conference call?" and she’s 100% right. Camera off for life
