This kind of art makes me sick

This is also from CNN. I hope he suffers in hell for being such a pretentious jerk.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- An artist with 780 gallons of red dye, three fire hoses and a 20-member crew at his disposal went to Greenland in search of a blank canvas large enough to accommodate his creative impulse.

The result is a blood-red iceberg now sitting off the country's western coast.

"We all have a need to decorate Mother Nature because it belongs to all us," Danish artist Marco Evaristti said Thursday. "This is my iceberg; it belongs to me."

His sickness was also displayed earlier when "Evaristti, who was born in Chile, drew widespread attention -- and disdain -- when he displayed 10 working blenders filled with goldfish in a Danish gallery in 2000.

He invited guests to turn the devices on and someone did, grinding up a pair of goldfish.

The gallery director was tried on charges of animal cruelty, but acquitted."

Hiking, Eating, and Fruit Baskets, Rice

We spent the daytime hiking at Zoar Valley followed by Matthew's postponed Birthday meal at Red Lobster. It was very delicious, I had not been there in a long time.

While at Zoar we ended up running into Dave and Pat from Pat and Terry. I was nice to hang out outside but it was kind of weird to not be able to cross the creek. There were a million screaming children and dogs. Both of which are not my fgavorite thing to add to a relaxing day outside.

After Red Lobster, Holly, Terry, Matthew, and I watched Fruits basket some more. It got really weird. I suggest the series to anyone that likes anime. The name is "Fruits Basket." It is quite excellent and I do not even like the video medium.

I am working on the image system tomorrow. I will be reorganizing and renaming images to adhere to the new date sorted system. If for some reason the images are unavaiable for a little bit you know why, but I do not expect any serious delay. Any sketch art will remain as it already aheres to the new system.

Speaking of Fruits Baskets and Rice Balls, condoleeza seriously looks like a bitch here and no matter how much I hate her, I have to say this image seems slightly slanted. It is from CNN.

Avatar Dreams

I also had another weird dream about the temp:real class. I went to go meet them at school and someon eotld me to leave the CFA and head over to the gym to find Jesse and the others so I went there. Some girl working there said they were in the showers, which I though was really weird but decided to head over. I heard people talking and showering but it sounded really digital. While in the lockeroom I saw Jesse who had transformed into his avatar. He told me it was all done with a simple PERL script and it really only took him an hour to make. Unfrotunately, it required that the people were really clean as to not mess up the code.

So I went to take a shower and chosen few was the only person still there and I saw him morph from himself into his crazy avatar while showering. He just kept saying that Jesse was going to be a millionaire.

Then I headed out into the gym as my avatar and we played dodge ball with outside scripting on.

Colors

I realize the current colors are drab versions of spring colors. However, the spring itself is a more drab version of spring than it should be. The orange color represents the mass amount of nasty scum that has collected on the streets after the snow melted.

Another Pleasant Evening

Tonight Soyeon and Robin came over. We were supposed to go to the Pink, but I didn't feel like driving anywhere after drinking.

Soyeon and I got to talk about web design a lot. It's great to meet someone else interested in what I do. I can see some future collaboration developing.

Robin and Matt started talking about sex. Right now the topic is sphincter's so you can just imagine what is going on!

Robin's jealous of our prostate. I think that's so funny. She is saying its unfair.

Rock the Local Vote

I think we should start our own local rock the vote in buffalo. If we got enough people together we could really make a difference.

Local Politics is where we can make the biggest change. Lets at least get some green party candidate in to some office. Also, does naybody know who the Black man is that is runnign for School Board and spoke at the Peace Rally? I was really impressed with his stance against ROTC funding in high schools.

New Description of The Site

Elmwoodstrip.com is a community dataspace based in Buffalo, NY that brings local residents together and allows them to "click-publish" textual data, imagery and sound. It was developed in response to the the negative effects on local community that have resulted from the globalization of communication via the intenet. The intentionally simple interface allows users with little or no web design knowledge to publish their thoughts and artwork. Elmwoodstrip.com runs off an open source MySQL database with a PHP/HTML frontend.

Sorry About The DIV problem

I didn't realize that Internet Explorer for windwow had a hard time with the height of divisions being based on percentages. So if you noticed the scrunched up journals today that is why. I had been viewing them on Safari and Firefox which handled it fine. Sorry about the incovenience. It should be set now.
