Documentation of Karl Linn's Life and Work
In 2003 award-winning filmmaker Rick Bacigalupi released his hour-long documentary "A Lot in Common" (http://www.ALotinCommon.com) chronicling the planning and construction of the Peralta Community Art Garden and Commons. The film, which includes commentary by Karl and by Paul Hawken, Ray Suarez, Jane Jacobs, Carl Anthony, and British scholar David Crouch, has aired on public television stations nationally in the United States, film festivals internationally, and Free Speech Television. It is distributed by Bullfrog Films (http://www.BullfrogFilms.com).
On February 3, 2005 Karl died at home of acute mylogenous leukemia. His widow, Nicole Milner, continues to support the local commons projects Karl inspired and the website, karllinn.org, which records his life and work and provides a forum for creators of commons to share their projects. Karl's oral history was recorded by the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, and his archives are housed at the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design. Many of his projects are documented in his book Building Commons and Community, published by New Village Press in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or work:
“My life has crept so long on a broken wing
Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear,
That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
