About

Shey.net is the personal weblog of Timothy Shey, sharing art and Internet culture since 1998.

I'm a designer, producer and startup founder based in New York, and currently work as director of the YouTube Next Lab.

Some of the popular web series and networks I've had a hand in helping include ThreadBanger, Indy Mogul, Barely Political (and the Obama Girl videos), Auto-Tune the News, The Key of Awesome, $99 Music Videos, Epic Fu, Channel Frederator, and Fast Lane Daily.

Got a question? Ask me anything.

Other places: twitter | facebook

* I'm working on getting the '98-'03 archives back up, and '04-'07 is here.

A beaked hat worn by medieval physicians.

Since the cause of the Plague was still believed to be ‘bad air,’ the hat’s “beak” was stuffed with aromatic herbs and spices which were thought to purify the air the doctor breathed. Aromatic air was thought to be antiseptic air, and the scent covered the malodor of rot and death. The hat also offered eye protection in the form of crystal eye-pieces. The doctor would sometimes place garlic in the beak and directly in his mouth.
