And I’m very struck by what Keavy says about artists having a culture of critical review, which we totally don’t have.

Yeah. That’s not me. Sounds like something I would have done though.

Good luck finding the other Sean. Nice meeting you.

Pretty sure Sean went to Williamston. I also knew his brother Tim and cousin Chris. Maybe it was McMillen. The conversation I’m thinking of probably took place around 1990…so it’s been a while.

Scott,

Could be. My address was Williamston, (though I went to Haslett schools) but I think there was another Sean McMillan (McMillen, I think) in Williamston. No clear bells, but I seem to have a lousy memory right now.

It might be me. Got any more clues?

You sound like someone I used to know. A buddy of mine recently showed me a video that explained how to turn a sphere inside out…which reminded me of a conversation we (if you are who I think you are) had on topology a long time ago. Williamston ring a bell?

Although I am not a “coder” and don’t know all this lingo, I must say I am so proud of Sean for spreading the word. As for me, one of his Aunts in Arkansas, I might try to apply these methods to my work… bacon driven gardening, bacon driven retailing… bacon driven cleaning… I think there’s some real possibilities here.
