And this, a new gentrification for the town:

It's like they thought if they changed "Hello" to "Hallo" they'd get away with it. They didn't. Visit their website, watch their video.
A bunch of tech-villains looking to escape the consequences of the world they built.
Fortunately there's a reasonably tech-savvy populace here. Some of their replies below:
I'm with them. Bloody hell, no more gentrification...

Today, a missed bus and 5 hours in Balfour scouring for arrowheads. I've had good luck in the past.
Nada. Not a single thing, and only a few bits of chert and flakes. A couple of paleo-maybes, one, a slender piece of slate that shows signs of napping into an arrowhead shape, perhaps a tool of convenience, but not an arrowhead, and a poor scraper (given the edge). The napping is undeniable but why they'd choose a piece so unsuited...
I'm done with the 4:00 Ferry, only there isn't a bus, I've failed to double check, and so another hour and a half on the beach reviewing the ground.
And another, that dark black igneous material I've posted arrowheads carved out of, this, possible a scraper, possibly not, hard to tell, the shape is odd, but I can't tell if it's been worked or is merely an oddly broken stone.

The days, cooler, nights, cool, sun-down soon after 7:00 AM and autumn is coming, coming, coming, and tomorrow off and to volunteer, to the library, to...
But no more trips to Balfour, I've found everything there is to be found, it wants rain, snow, erosion to bring to the surface new treasures...

Pretty sure I reviewed this before, only I can't seem to find it...
Anyways, I watched this again. And I remembered most of it, forgot some of it, but I was as impressed as when I saw it the first time.
He's absolutely brilliant. And - I love the fusion of magic & stagecraft, of a narrative built around special and practical effects, I love how there's really only him on stage, maybe a sound and a lighting guy, and certainly a few backstage helpers, but he delivers.
It's theme is on identity, and the emotional resonances he strikes with the audience, well, there were a few times when I was wiping a tear from my eye. This I would have flown to New York to see. And consider his audience included Bill Gates, Jon Lovett, David Blaine, Marina Abramović, Susan Sarandon, etc, etc.
You can download it, or find it somewhere to watch online. Please do, you won't be disappointed.
And a peculiar book...

Didn't think to pick it up as I got plenty out of the cover and the reviews on the back...
