I’m getting tired of hearing the talking points boiling healthcare down to a “competitive market” vs. a socialist model. This argument is deeply flawed in two very serious ways: #1 “socialist healthcare is evil“ Anyone not in favor of a government “socialist” healthcare plan should never again call 911, the fire department or the police department […]
Dead Volcanoes
On Saturday Sam and I decided to get out one last time before the fury of finals week approaches. We went back to Point Dume, all the wiser on where to drive/park/walk this time. We walked up around the point first, pausing to take some photos in a small cave. Leaping into the light. While […]
Bergamot Station
On Saturday in the early afternoon I took a trip to Bergamot station to see the Monsters show at Copro. For some reason, I thought that “chuck” painting would be much larger. In reality it is only about two feet high. Still an impressive piece, though. The eyes are more blue in person. Here are […]
human glow
The web is all abuzz about this. However, I read about this in a book published six years ago called The Field…
posting via email
I’ve been resisting posting my daily progress on new work simply because it would be too time consuming. To post anything on this blog I have to reformat the photos to low-res (created an action in PS for this), then upload them to a free photo host (so as not to use up my paid […]

One day in the future, this will be indiscipherable from the “real” opinions about the events of the day. When it boils down to it, this is exactly the actual factual reporting of what happened. And no, I’m not sarcastic. That is why it is “funny,” because it is completely true. Well, except for the […]
Yesterday I did a sort of knee-jerk post about an artist that I found and didn’t like. As so often happens I forget that this thing is public. I get used to thinking of the blog as more of a private email between friends, so I’m always surprised when something comes in from …out there. […]
Still think the iphone is the best?
these people sure don’t. Meanwhile the Pre is humming along fine for me. I actually get the little notification of a new email in gmail on the phone before it refreshes in my web browser – which had gotten me into the curious habit of feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket and I thinking “oh, I’ve […]
bad art
I’ve always known that one way to win fame and fortune in the art world is to produce bad art. Not unbelievably terrible art, but just stuff that looks perhaps childish or unfinished. Often this will be praised as “abstract genius” when it is little more than lack of skill and/or imagination. It pains […]
