Pete Lit: Six-Word Stories:
Six-Word Stories

Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in six words. Rumor has it that he considered his result (“For sale: baby shoes, never used.”) to be his greatest work. In its most recent issue, Utne reprinted a piece from the Fall 2004 issue of BlackBook in which that magazine asked 25 big-name writers to write their own six-word stories. Unfortunately, neither magazine had the story online, but here are some of the highlights:

Lights Out San Francisco, Turning Off Lights For One Hour:
Lights Out San Francisco is inviting the residents of San Francisco to turn off their lights for one hour (8pm to 9pm) on Saturday, October 20th. The goal is to try and save 15% of the energy that is normally used on an average Saturday night and to encourage energy conservation.

The city of San Francisco has also pledged to turn off non-essential lighting for an hour on The Golden Gate Bridge, The Bay Bridge, City Hall, Alcatraz and other parts of the city and several restaurants will host candlelight dinners that night.

Lights Out San Francisco is a citywide energy conservation event on October 20, 2007. On this night, we invite the entire city of San Francisco to turn off all non-essential lighting for one hour from 8-9pm. To promote long-lasting energy saving, we plan to distribute free compact fluorescent light bulbs throughout the city. Also, watch for community events in your neighborhood. Join us and turn out your lights!

Here’s how you can get involved and for more info, check out their FAQ and blog.

The organizers of Lights Out San Francisco, are planning on making this annual event that takes place throughout the country. The first Lights Out America will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2008

Diana Camera By Lomo- bonnie’s Pick!! – Lomo – Home Furnishings – Unica Home:
Bonnie says, “They are back! The Diana, considered a toy by some and the simplest camera by art school students is making a comeback. Unsophisticated at best, the Diana has been out of production for over 25 years. We have them once again. Explore your inner “art school student” with a new diana!”
originally produced by the great wall plastic factory in hong kong in the 1960’s the diana has become a cult classic, known for producing soft and dreamy images due to light leakage. given away by reader’s digest as a freebie, the diana has been out of production for almost 35 years. a light, inexpensive medium (120 film) format camera, the ‘new’ diana has 4 f-stops and comes with a booklet, camera strap and lens cover. an additional change is that the camera has a removable lens, allowing for pinhole camera action!

available in october, 2007. now accepting advance orders.
