More talking heads.

Heard about this site while listening to net@nite.

PBS:Frontline

Once again Frontline puts out another great show. Kids growing up online.

Bad Idea

I really had a good time at ConvegeSouth in Greensboro this year. It was my first time at a conference. I don't have a company or any product to push but I did want to hand something out to people I talked to. In Lieu of handing out a business card I thought I would be clever an screenprint a little something. Spent a few hours working on it and thought people would appreciate something different. As I drove into NC A&T campus I started thinking about my print. As I parked more thoughts went through my head. I questioned both should I have printed this in the first place and seeing as though this thing was talking place at a prodominatly black school my clever idea was now looking less so. The one print I handed out was quickly folded and put into a pocket. I see the Confederate flag as nothing more then nice design. But given the place I now wish I had done something else.

Fall Foliage

The leaves were not as vibrant this year. Maybe because of the lack of rain. But this one was something else.

Fabric Study

In my drawing class we are concentrating on value at the moment. This was done using vine charcoal. You can lay down thick areas of charcoal then use a dry eraser to lift or reduce the dark value depending on how much pressure you apply to the charcoal.

BOOO!!

Early morning

Sometimes it pays to get up early.

Saturday Keynote

Elisa Camahort was such a joy to listen to. Upbeat and inspirational I could have sat there for a couple of hours listening to her.

My first panel discussion

This was the first thing of this sort I have ever been to. When done well they are highly inlightening as I found this one to be. We agree to disagree was very liberal in tone. That the two panelist Ruby Sinreich and Chris Rabb echo my mostly liberal views a conservative voice would have added more of a give an take to the talk. But insightful thought is always fun to listen to. The moderator Dan Conover was one of the people I talked to at CS.

Greensboro NC

Snapped this photo after leaving ConvergeSouth...I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'm not much of a schmoozer and find social situations a little bit of a challenge. But I didn't throw up on anyone so all in all not a bad time for me. Thanks to Dave Slusher for speaking so highly of the event. Will try and go next year.

Leaving for NC in a few hours

Will be heading for Greensboro in a few hours for Converge South. Can't wait.

Stopped by the Clarendon VA Apple store to look at the site on an ipod touch. Still the same crap just on a smaller screen.
