“Robert Rauschenberg, dubbed by the New York Times as a “Titan of American Art,” has died, aged 82.
I grew up seeing his work over and over again, and it has had a subtle but lasting impression on me. He was a master of capturing the energy and imagery of the mid- to late-20th century.
Miranda July is amazing.
So is zefrank, but in a totally different way.
I also added a couple projects to my cafepress page (link in navbar) and even ordered a couple of them. Hmmm.
Oh, shoot! Happy Birthday, Ruthie! I really probably should have planned something for my niece’s fifth birthday but I’m too darn wrapped up in myself to plan ahead. Also, she’s 2,724 miles away at the moment. Crap.
It’s no longer Leap Day.
Some people take this stuff very seriously.
“I’m not saying I’m not lame; I’m just saying I’m not going.”
Say you wanted to go from Oakland, California to Sacramento, California, a distance of 80 miles, to catch a Friday night Sacramento Rivercats game. (They’re a minor-league baseball team.) And you wanted to take public transit and come back the same night. That seems possible.
As for me, I was in Chicago for 10 days recently… I went to Yearly Kos (soon to be renamed the “Netroots Nation” convention) and then spent 6 days doing very little except for enjoying blissful summer vacation fun.
I got to see Kim & Dave & young Eli (all of whom are going to be moving back to the Bay Area next month), Amber, and my mom. This after unexpectedly getting to hang out with other East Bay activist types at Yearly Kos, which was nice.
Lots of good pictures to follow at some point.
I’m a dork.
I just joined Facebook, after having joined MySpace within the last week.
Am I a clueless thirty-something hanger-on desperately reaching out for any connection I can find? That’s for you to decide. I don’t think so, though. I joined them for work and politics (despite my desire to divest myself of it), and I guess to keep in touch/get in touch with friends. But they’ll probably be pretty abandoned for the most part.
