Todd Blair, of SRL, formerly the Exploratorium, Chico MacMurtry collaborator and many, many, many, many other fine projects, had a prop piece fall on him at RoboDock this year He is in a fine hospital in Amsterdam and is in a coma. We are all pulling for him to wake up and smile again.
There is a donation fund for him here, and a blog on his progress here.
Kick in a few bucks if you can. Todd is an artist and of course our culture is great at not enabling artists to be supported with all the benefits and etc a CEO or lawyer would have. We just have a surfeit of love.
Even if you don’t know him, he is one of those people that makes the world a little bit more amazing, and he and his love Alex can use your good wishes and everything else you have right now.
