Art from an Ancient Future
Love love love these “ancient future” #paintings by Karla Night, and I am so there for Jason Kottke’s description:

And now for something different from NovaColor: Understanding the Color Gray and Its Shades
I use NovaColor acrylics for my artwork, and love their occasional articles on the theory and history of pigments. #art #painting #arthistory
Archiving our anxious fears as precious artifact
We make a Story
Stripped to bare words encoding our natures faiths and selves
These and all in grit and grim warning
Dystopia
Bleak grey hued rough hewn the view from future's window
Staring eyes in hope forlorn
Dust and ash the gifts our benefactors leave in progress' wake
Every memory and bright treasure stripped melted for coin
Mechanized servant eaters of all growing green feeling loving things
If not fled are fed
The shining things from heart head and gut once born now consumed
Our inner voice fed back become lies so sterile and ape'd
Semi-sentient vastly parasitic the collectives cancerous intent to only grow
Choked full on us it is us in the mill in the dirty grist
The fluttering trembling lights only ours to give are drowned in grasping dark
In mirrored certainty the self-satisfied boast ignorance toast ignorance
Read our troubled Story and see
Utopia
Danah Boyd: What if failure is the plan?
Network effects intersect with perception to drive a sense of a site’s social relevance and interpersonal significance.
I have friends and family for whom RSS is not easy to explain or subscribe to, and who don’t really follow blogs in general, but who have expressed an interest in my writing here, such as it is.
So I’ve hacked up an experimental feature, where I am sending out a nightly email (subscribe in the sidebar) that is comprised of all my posts for the day. Right now the blog posts and notes will be intermixed, so there might be some confusion in the content, it’s an ongoing experiment.
If this is something you’d like to try, you can subscribe form in the sidebar of the site or use the subscribe page.
