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 […]
On Changing The Look
Apologies to all readers, the blog is undergoing a bit of a reshape to make it more relevant. I’ve changed the WordPress ( blog provider) theme (the way it looks), adding a bunch of feautures like the link bar on the left to the rest of weedyconnection’s online facilities, while keeping feautures from the earlier […]
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.

The slow unfolding of concepts allowed me […]

July 6, Marking Day for June 08, and that’s as far as it can be predicted
Today was the last of the Marking Days, signifier for June 2008. A sunny but cold day.
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? What does it prove? more anecdotes like […]
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. This blog heard all of those arguments before, the one criminalising botanical species, and the one acknowledging the botanical reality. Still a fantastic introduction to the thorny issue of environmental […]
