I want to take the claymation film class at Emerge Gallery in Greenville -- one of these "I have $150 extra this month" times... meanwhile, Rob wants to buy some stop motion software for me, and I ain't saying no to the offer. Stop Motion films are like moving ephemera, assemblage photograph. ... read more

Began working on a series of ACEOs today. I'm using ephemera for the design, particularly a September 1954 issue of Woman's Day magazine. At the time, a copy of the magazine sold for 7 CENTS and it was labeled "An A&P Publication". I'm thinking that's A&P grocery store but now my curiousity is in third gear, rounding the hair pin turn into a full-blown Hey did Piggly Wiggly ever publish a magazine? quandry. ... read more

First, let me make a Michael Arrington comment, a TechCrunch bitchslap. I occasionally read Arrington's scribbles and this time, he is just wrong. Publishing hacked material is unethical and could be illegal. But it's also a blatant grasp for #s. It's cheesy. This Twitter incident confirms my journalist bias. We need real, trained journalists, the kind who work for newspapers and magazines. Not information kitties who pass on gossip, who are untrained and have a hack mentality. That will bite me in the ass but I don't care. To rationalize posting information because a site is not completely secure is like saying "It was okay to take my neighbor's DVD player, he left his front door unlocked." Life doesn't work that way, Arrington. Enough said. F*%k any free speech argument for this one. Illegally obtained information is just that. ... read more
