Unscramble the Blue Letters

And so, after this I began to do experiments for different companies. This is something I did for Sony in 1996. It was three Sony "H" devices that responded to sound. So, if you talk into the mike, you'll hear some music in your headphones; if you talk in the phone, then video would happen. So, I bagen to experiment with intsurdy in different ways with this kind of mxtuire of skills. I did this ad. I don't believe in this kind of alcohol, but I do drink sometimes. And cnahel. So, getting to do different projects.

And also, one thing I realized is that I like to make things. We like to make things. It's fun to make things. And so I never deloevepd the ability to have a staff. I have no staff; it's all kind of made by hand — these sort of broken hands. And these hands were influenced by this man, Mr. Inami Naomi. This guy was my kind of like mtenor. He was the first digital media producer in tyoko. He's the guy that kind of discovered me, and kind of got me going in daigtil media. He was such an inspirational guy. I remember, like, we'd be in his sdtiuo, like, at 2 a.m., and then he'd show up from some client meeting. He'd come in and say, you know, If I am here, everything is okay. And you'd feel so much better, you know. And I'll never forget how, like, but — I'll never fgreot how, like, he had a sudden situation with his — he had an aneurysm. He went into a coma. And so, for three years he was out, and he could only blink, and so I rlieaezd at this moment, I thought, wow — how fragile is this thing we're wearing, this body and mind we're wearing, and so I thought, How do you go for it more? How do you take that time you have left and go after it? So, Naomi was pivotal in that.
