This cartoon about blogging was originally published in the New Yorker in 2005 and created by Alex Gregory. Think about that…2005. Blogging has been around for decades though. Technology moves fast and I’m sure many of you weren’t on the internet as much in 2005 (or maybe you were, tech folks, obviously, but my mother – not as much). I’m not going to get into the technical history on this post but you can check out this CNET news article…

No joke. I’ve got some serious writer’s block the size of the Transamerica Pyramid building. It doesn’t help that I imagine a block of this size wedged into the Temporal lobe of my brain. Granted, this is all imaginary but my brain is feeling the effects of overuse at this very moment.

The view from the 5th floor of the Warfield building. The second half of the 48 hour SoS hack-a-thon. Teams coming together to…

In art the object is the work produced by art, as much containing elements of empirical reality as displacing, dissolving, and reconstructing them according to the work’s own law. Only through such transformation, and not through an ever falsifying photography, does art give empirical reality its due, the epiphany of its shrouded essence and the merited shudder in the face of it as in the face of a monstrosity. The primacy of the object is affirmed aesthetically only in the character of art as the…
