On The First Moon of Winter or On The New Access Point

Pic thanks to Prescott!

You spent the past 3 days re-editing and re-writing the code for the WeedyConnection online extravaganza. It was long overdue, many parts of the virtual presence of this project were obscurated by other parts or, even worse, unrelated.
You needed to re-shape the whole expirience and the way visitor access the project.
So you’ve written [...]

On Changing The Look

Apologies to all readers, the blog is undergoing a bit of a reshape to make it more relevant.

On The Nature of Online Art

You’ve been reading, browsing through other’s Del.icio.us tags and even making a delicious tags page.

On 4 July for April and the 5 July for May

Wednesday the 4 July, Marking Day for April turned out a very windy and stormy, no much rain came down, but the temperature sure did.
While 5 July, Marking Day for May was a more pleasant day, but even colder.

What if this system doesn’t work at all?

On Weed Radio: Enemy or Ally?

Captain Cook metaphorically releasing a Pigeon in Sydney’s hide park:

The ABC program, Weeds: Enemy or ally was good, and predictable at the same time.
