I could live here.

Ok. I just linked to this photo from my bud Chris’ blog think:lab. This is my idea of where I could spend lots of time in the dark working on ideas. Don’t need much space just a little capsule. I was thinking about an Airstream but now with the price of gas my dreams of traveling with my little trailer are dwindling. Maybe when they make some cars that get the same mpg as cars in the 80’s did again.

This was the one I was thinking of — the Safari.

They have a bit in common.

houston we have a problem.

What is this indent all about? If you scroll down a few posts you’ll see that all of a sudden my posts become a tinee tiny column wide.

This happens as some wacky result of technocrati tags and the posted by Flock tagline.
Usually I remove the tags and it works. Not this time.

I unpublished the post and the indent still happens.
I removed the flock credit line - indent still happens.
I removed the tags - indent still happens.

I cut out all the text.
Put it in a text document and saved it as text; hoping to zap any gremlins.
No soap.

Ahhhhhhhh….

How do I feel today? inquisitive.

Maeda’s SIMPLICITY: Haiku Remixed

Found this at one of John Maeda’s sites. It’s how I feel on most days. How to slow your mind to feel at one with what your body can really do is a constant challenge. To embrace rest. Real rest.

This is really how I feel today.

With our two new entrepreneurial projects going, Art Center Canvas and heavybubble I just want to work on them all the time.

art center canvas [tm] software module

Working on IA for another module for Art Center Canvas [tm] a browser based software application for arts and cultural institutions. The main community model is in beta. We’re just getting ready to launch a small site to show what the application does. The application uses opensource components. It really rocks and we can’t wait to show off what it can do.

Raven CSI and Tom McCobb are developing the application and asked us to come onboard, we’ve said yes. It will be great to produce an application that will be a product. It will enable art centers to improve their business practices and efficiency. That means more art less management.

technical difficulty 101

We all have these moments. This is my friend Becky having one. It turned out well for her in the end. I just wonder whose laptop she’s using. Isn’t it a shame when we have difficulty with a childs laptop. It’s really cool to be able to share video easily on flickr.

dancing, dancing, dancing

I know that you must have seen Matt . Who? Matt Harding.
Everyone I know has. My bud George Graves sent me the link weeks ago. I was amused. Its just fun and we all should have some fun. I don’t want to talk about the video alot because talking isn’t what the video is about. Just enjoy it a few times yourself.

You know its gone mainstream when the New York Times is writing about it. Don’t forget to check out Matt’s blog. Hey maybe you’ll want to do this too.

Oh don’t forget, if you watch this video Google may have to give up all your viewing habits to Viacom so it will help in a lawsuit. That’s actually another post. I’ve

Obama new — absolutely not.

This phenomenonal rise of Barack Obama has bothered me from the beginning. Who is this person of little experience that has used the void of positive rhetoric to win his party’s nomination? Has the nation been so humiliated by George Bush that any breath of air would be good enough to run for the whitehouse?

What the times said today isn’t news. These are the things I have worried about from the beginning. The mainstream media was so enamored that it wasn’t paying attention. [ Wow a person that can speak in full sentences, good looking, clean cut, goes to church on sundays, listens without interrupting, has a good vocabulary.] Maybe it isn’t even news to the people that wear the buttons and carry

wordle, hours of fun

I’ve been a bit more focused on words lately. I attribute that to the fact that I have been designing communication architectures for the past few weeks and have not spent any time in my art studio. This changes me into a person who really depends on language much more. When I spend time making art there’s little to say until after the art is finished.

A look at my tags at del.icio.us using WORDLE. The WORDLE BLOG.

Mandela off U.S. terrorism watch lists

DATE: JULY 1, 2008

Mandela shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 with F. W. de Klerk, the South African president and National Party leader who worked with Mandela to end apartheid. Mandela replaced him as president in 1994 and served until 1999.

Did you know that Mandela and other members of the African National Congress have been on the list because of their fight against South Africa’s apartheid regime, which gave way to majority rule in 1994? That’s right, they couldn’t get Visa’s to the USA. That’s our sharp as a tack president and his behemoth Homeland Security for ya.

from his speech June 28, 2008

“Friends, 20 years ago London hosted a historic concert which called for our freedom. Your voices carried

att and the iphone, forget about it

How much more can we stand? I was waiting for announcement of the iPhone 3G and it happened. Now all I get is email messages about how the iPhone is coming, the iPhone is coming. You can read : How to hand-down your old iPhone after upgrading to iPhone 3G, Moving to iPhone 3G: a guide for current and non-current AT&T customers, New and old AT&T iPhone plans compared, cost increases detailed, AT&T announces iPhone 3G plans, 8 a.m. launch time on July 11.

I’m dizzy from “if it’s wednesday and a full moon and you were previously a friends and family customer” you can expect to pay up to 50% more on your ATT bill.

Well, maybe an

Save the Net

Welcome to a conceptual sketchbook — a place where I wonder out loud; link to the things that surprise, amaze, and inspire me and on occasion things that make me crazy and frustrate me. It is a record of possibilities and seemingly random thoughts and events that make up my life.
It’s my brain dump. The totally nonlinear, unpredictable thoughts that inform my intuitive decisions.
My intersection of work + play.
