soyeon - Well,

Soyeon, I was not attacking you as a person I was disagreeing with your judgement about that image and have been too busy to discuss it any further, as I have been so extremely busy. I don't think anyone else was trying to "attack" you either, but I'll let them speak for themselves.

I wasn't mad at you or trying to make you feel bad. You should really work on being less sensitive or you will end up spending your whole life melancholy, betrayed, and offended.

Sorry, it had to end this way. Paul

Electronics Field Trip

No, that is not a band name, it is my title for Saturday, the day that my electronics class field takes a field trip to toronto. My goal is to meet Steve Mann

, Maybe it will happen, maybe not. Hopefully, Jesse comes along as we need to plan for the upcomming hardware projects.

I am quite nervous about the day, as it begins at 8:00am so that I can get to North Campus by 9:15. I suppose it will work out and I will end up having access to many new electronic parts that will fulfill my hardware dreams.

I wonder what my life would be like if every day could have 8 more hours. Or better yet if the meaningless tasks and hoop jumping could be erased from my schedule. It is so unfortunate that I feel like right now I am at the peak of my productive time as an artist, programmer, designer and I am spending countless hours filling out forms. Take for example today's resume production time. It is still not done, but I spent the good part of four hours assembling a resume for a job upgrade that I am hoping for. It is not terribly important because of the million and a half other potential job offers, but it would make me quite happy and validate the money I spent on "training" myself to be an authority [inlink]robin,339[/inlink] of digital communication art.

I got rid of the snowflakes on the site today. It felt liberating to say, "enough, no more snow" to my computer. If only the weather could be interfaced so easily.

Bye bye another job

Okay, so I have another job offer, this is getting to be insane. If I give up all these lucrative job offers and then Canisius doesn't pull through I am will go crazy. If I work full time, I can do crazy things like get my fillings fixed or go to a doctor. Maybe even pay the government back for some of my $80,000 in student loans!!

I found your resume on the web. I have a contract position in Buffalo, NY . . .

Salary - 20-22/hour (can be broken into salary and per diem)

Getting busy

I really need to start making robots so they can't do these kind of tasks for me and make guest appearances.

Soyeon and Art Part 2

In reference to:

soyeon 04:18 : Paul, I'm not being closed mind at all. I didn't say that pic was made by men. I think you are inconsiderated what art is about. or you don't care.

Who are you decide that I am inconsiderate about what art is or that I don't care? You barely know me, which has suddenly become all the more apparent. I do care very much what my art is about but I am not interested in making judgements on what other people should and not consider art. Especially, if I do not know the surrounding context behind the work.

It is not as though art is a dwindling natural resource that we may use up on the "bad stuff." Especially, when we are talking about digital artwork which operates on a nearly infinite canvas.

This argument is akin to arguing what religion is the "true" religion at the expense of excluding all others. I would rather spend my time thinking about what my art means to me and the people it affects.

Where the site is seen

I am really interested in what the site looks like physically, within the confines that people view it at. Those of you that have cameras, can you all post pictures of where you view the site. I think it would be cool to see everyone else's view of the site. I will make it into a gallery.

Here is my pic in the kitchen looking at the iste while cooking.

Jesse Fabian

Wow, jesse had the internet before I had a computer. I am really jealous of him sometimes. I don't have anything left from my pre-digital existence and he has a digital existence before mine

Soyeon and Art

Soyeon, I agree with (e:ajay) [inlink]ajay,280[/inlink]

Stop being so closed minded. I can't believe you are automically ascribing your value system on that artwork without having any information about the work. I realize that (GOOGLE - body sushi) body sushi is is degrading toward woman. But we have no indication that this is from a body sushi restaurant and not female performance artist commenting on the fetishizing of asian woman and food in body sushi. Notice the way she is sitting up slightly and eating it off of herself. That is very different than other pictures of body sushi, where the woman is portrayed like a silent corpse.

Why do you reduce her performance to the metaphorical simple chemical when you have no idea about the possible complexity of the work. Why do you try and pretend to be some sort of art authority? Nobody is. It is exactly that type of snobbery that makes people hate art.

[size=m]Most importantly, why do you assume that artwork was made by a man?[/size]

Reality TV

I live in a box, well box mansion. I really have no idea what is going on in the world of television. I thought that people confessing their lives on a public journal was radical. Who would have guessed how far reality TV has gone. Well, probably everyone. Tonight I witnessed Cheater TV or something like that. It is a reality spouse cheating spy show that follows poeple around as their lives fall apart because of cheating partners. The whole thing is monitored and televised for us to judge.

In this show there was a hard working guy, whose girlfriend was cheating on him. When he confronted her and the guy in a public location the other dude pulled out a gun and tried to shoot him. The camera crew was really frreaked the hell out.

At the beginning of the show they made this whole point how they are doing this to show people the horrors of cheating. Then they played a commercial for a married person sex service where you can meet other married people that want to get it on.
"If you are involved in a relationship but feel like you need something more, log into Ashley Madison at

"

This is juxtaposted with

nocheater date where you can meet people that don't cheat. Apparently, they selll a little bit to everyone. Television has seriously hit an all time low.

But the question to me is really, why are people concerned with the lives of total strangers that they can't even interact with.
