Re: NASHVILLE!!! Just popping in to say I visited Nashville this past weekend. Pretty awesome stuff all around. Jesus christ, Down is EVERYWHERE. His name must be a joke, because he's pretty damn up. The first bit of graff I caught when entering the city was him. Everywhere I went in the city, there was at least a few Down tags or throws in sight. Oh yeah, LOL at all the toy shit at that club/bar The End.

decoded know's what's up. Pablodraw is pretty much the shit. I love nostalgia!

Whichever one makes you go away quicker.

Very very cool. Man, I wish I could dig up some of my old stuff. Keep it comin'!

It doesn't matter. Just write what you want. Stay smart and you wont get caught. Well, at least not as easily.

I like the new design of the site itself, but for forums (which require extensive reading) a nicer subtle grey would be better for the background of text bodies. The small font, mixed with a high contrast black/white text makes it a bit of a strain on the eyes after a while.

It's not the outcome of each action that is similar, it's the mindset of the one who is performing it. The art of 'hacking', or modifying electronic things to do what you want, to defy the rules set by the manufacturers and those who control them, is indeed very similar to graffiti and all forms of street art. It's the whole idea of not being content with things the way they were 'intended'. They mayor of your city telling you that you can't create art is just the same as Sony telling you that you can't modify your Playstation. It's YOURS, and you won't stand for somebody telling you that you can't do what you want with it. Back in the early days of computers and the internet, people would create small graphical images and animations, some in the same styling as graffiti, to go along with their pirated software. There's a lot more that is similar between the two subjects than you may think. I guess it's really a matter of knowing what the phrase 'hacker' and 'artist' really mean, and stepping outside the stereotypes projected by the media and the uninformed public. I am an 'artist' and I am a 'hacker'.
