An hour of art

Wed, 07 May 2008 23:34:31 +0100

This is really cool:

One Hour of Art I will make what I can in one hour and will then send it you. I will prepare papers and art supplies before the time begins so that I will spend the entire 60 minutes making drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures etc. Packing and shipping will also not be included in the one hour. I am not sure what I will make during the hour. Each one is different. You can give me certain ideas that you might hope to have included in your hour’s art (“drawings of giraffes, automobiles, 3D things”) that I will try to include in some way, but try not to make them too intense for the hour (“an oil painting of my Aunt May based on this blurry family photo from 1967, a large, to scale, diorama of the Battle of Antietam, and a life size clay sculpture of a Beluga Whale”). You will receive a note stating the One Hour that was yours and all of the artwork in the mail within one week.

This is what I’m now using to post to my tumblog, which you’re reading now. And I’m using my new Mac too - an iMac with the wireless mouse and keyboard, the 24” monitor and the biggest drive and most memory you can currently purchase.

Very happy indeed…

Severn Trent faces a £35.8m fine:

Ofwat is proposing to fine Severn Trent Water £35.8m for providing false information deliberately and offering the company’s customers a poor service.

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY.

My son is a lunatic. The moment he realised it had been snowing overnight, he immediately seized upon the idea of putting plastic shopping bags over his shoes, rubber gloves on his hands and running outside to make snowballs. Not winter coat, scarf and mittens - shopping bags and rubber gloves.

Changed the website

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:13:38 +0100

I thought I’d use the tumblelog as a bit of a personal scrapbook, and I had the dubber.co.nz domain lying around, so I thought - well, that’s personal. So here it is. This will no longer just be an autofeed of my del.icio.us bookmarks, but will kind of occupy a territory between my personal blog and my Twitter feed.

So - there’ll be pictures, the odd video, distractions and just stuff I want to keep track of. There was a time when I thought that I might shift everything over to a tumblelog format - but I love Twitter in all its social microblogging simplicity, and I also love the more comprehensive nature of the official ‘All About Me’ site too.

But this seems to fill a gap. It’s for me, and anyone who’s interested in more than just the ‘what am I doing now’ blurts.

Mostly, this will be for ‘isn’t this cool?’ type posts.

Why Do So Many People Freak Out When They See 'Free' As Part Of A Business Model?:

There’s a blog post by entrepreneur Hank Williams apparently attacking the concept of “free” and blaming venture capitalists, saying that they’re overfunding a bunch of startups allowing them to give…
