Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum

Leave a reply

Missed opportunity: Julius Popp created a waterfall installation entitled Bit.Fall to output words formed by droplet streams, fed from news pulled from the Internet. It was hosted in the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis, and this short documentary touches on his motivations. I’m irritated I was unaware of this and some other interesting exhibitions it accompanied last fall.

Bit.Fall has since moved on, but I’m marking my calendar for the Summer exhibitions (May 11 – July 16) to check out Ansel Adams: Reverence for Life. His photography alone is always amazing, but they also plan to screen two short films worth viewing.

Rant: Every web-site with a calendar of events should also serve a syndication feed with event markup so I stop missing the interesting things in my city.

The heart is racing at 160 beats per minute.

The baby’s too.

They say the head is on the right, and the light spot on the bottom is an arm, and I don’t really remember much else besides “everything looks really good.”

Just. Wow.

Vacation Recap

A quick rundown:

  • Kelly’s dad went to the hospital
  • We cancelled our trip to New York
  • Kelly had to go to the doctor (everything is OK, details TBA)
  • Several hospital visits in the county
  • Couch time with the Internet
  • Spontaneous trip to Lambert’s Cafe
  • Only one small work interruption (I’ve still not opened work email all week)
  • A few bike rides
  • Kelly’s dad came back home, feeling much better, I got wasted with mother-in-law
  • Rainy (but excellent) afternoon wandering around the Zoo
  • Dinner with my parents who went to NYC without us, as I miss going a third time (at least they came back with gifts)

Change of plans

Kelly’s dad is back in the hospital, so we’ve cancelled our trip to New York to spend time locally with family. Don’t really know what happens next. Hoping for the best, fearing the worst. Lots of waiting right now.

New Addition to the No Paper Network

2 Replies

Sean’s new domain, gorblatt.com, is the latest addition to our humble server; a site I hope to see updated often now that Sean has a lower barrier to adding content and many new options for designing a tweaking a site (one he first thought he didn’t need).

I don’t think I’ve ever considered a No Paper Network as an actual concept worth naming, but as of last night I’m hosting 15 random sites, and that doesn’t include some local toys I’m working on. The thought of this as an entity and not just a single point for sharing personal randomness might lead to grander plans, but for now it is what it is.

With a large amount of the sites on this server running WordPress, it seems wise to configure a single instance of WordPress MU to keep things up to date easily. I’m not yet certain of any limitations that might incur, but I’ll see about migrating a few soon (this site at least) to see what happens.

After that, maybe I’ll look into progress with some ongoing projects. I don’t know if Hans was pointing out my procrastination by sharing the NGTD video, or if he was commiserating. What’s he done recently?

Ze to visit Ray

Ze Frank is in St. Louis to deliver Ray’s remixes assembled through the power of the Internet. I’m sure he’ll have some pithy comments to share of this city for his next show. Hopefully he’s staying somewhere interesting.

Had I remembered this was coming up, I would’ve flagged him down for lunch or something. I wonder if there’s still time.

Simple Pleasures

Today I removed the car key from the key-ring that normally occupies my pocket, placed it on its own ring, and stored that ring near the door for the rare occasions it is needed.

My lightened key-ring now only holds keys to my apartment, and the magnetic key-fob for work.

Living and working Downtown continues to please me.
