Well this is an update that's been put off for far too long. It's been super busy on my end. I was getting hours from the temp agency, was helping Dory prep for Castle Con which was earlier today, and I was attempting to finish a cable tie piece for a juried exhibition. Well I've got the piece started, but I read more into the competition and found out it's an online only exhibition. They issue an e-magazine to their subscribers with whatever digital photos you provide. It's so not worth the $35 entry fee. So I just busted my ass for nothing really. On the upside, there's another exhibition that I will be applying to, THE 10TH A.I.R. GALLERY BIENNIAL A Juried Exhibition Open to All Women Artists. Open to all mediums and has a real gallery as opposed to a virtual one. What a novel concept. Hmmm, what else has been happening... well I warped my loom. Meaning I strung up my loom and am now weaving on it, the materials were starting to bust out of the jar I keep them in, so time to start a weaving. Oh and I am now indebted to Leyna for giving me a copy of some website editing software. I can now update my website!! I'm also indebted to Steph for fixing the coding problems on the 'contacts' page. It now works!
The Whale is still coming along at its slower-than-molasses pace, but I have faith that it will look amazing in the end.... or at least look like a whale. Unfortunately I have not been taking photos recently due to laziness. After all I've been doing this week I think I'm entitled to be a little lazy with the photos. Watched some TED Talk videos again, since there's not much else I enjoy watching on the internet. Be glad I don't post cat videos. Anyway one of the talks was this one:
Ayah Bdeir talks about building circuitry and making it as easy as snapping Legos together. She started a website called Little Bits, an open source and storefront website where the parts she uses in the video are available. This got me thinking about a lot of projects that I couldn't accomplish due to lack of knowledge of electronics and wiring. I think these things are brilliant.
Well on a far creepier note I saw this video in a yahoo news article. This girl is so incredibly doll-like it's frightening. And the fan base is typical for the "cute, not legal, and trying to be Japanese, please-give-me-attention." genre. You know, those creeper guys at anime conventions who ask for you picture and try their hardest to upskirt you in the pose, yeah, that kind of fan base. What I find difficult to swallow is that the mother of this kid encourages it. There's just so much wrong with that. I mean seriously, a mother is supposed to protect and raise their child right? Just read the article and try to watch the video ( I got about 20 seconds in before I couldn't take it anymore. Bad Harajuku accents need not apply.)
And Just because I can, Cat Videos.
See Ya'll Later!
