Charlie (a frequent commenter on this board), forwarded the URL for Inventables with a note that, as a fellow geek, I might enjoy it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I blow lightly on the glass wafers, watch them tremble, vibrating the shadowlines. I'm utterly delighted at finding a kinetic dimension to what's been my favorite glass installation for awhile now. And that's both the wonder and problem of this show, but more about that later.

I'm playing with Stacy Lynn Smith's "Selection," which made its "I have arrived" debut last Wednesday night at Bullseye Gallery's inFORM* show. BE Gallery stuff hasn't always been to my taste, but as far as I'm concerned they're batting 1000 lately.

Selection first showed up a couple of years ago in a Bullseye Resource Center show for their employees, took the top prize there, and I remember thinking, "Why the HECK isn't this in the main gallery?" about two seconds after I saw it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are perhaps ten cameras, or camera-incorporating devices, in my house right now, from Darius-the-IMPORTANT-camera to the oatmeal box pinhole sitting under my desk. They shoot pretty effortless color--in fact, shooting black-and-white takes a lot more work.

Which tends to make me forget that there was a time when a color photograph was a big honkin' deal, and it wasn't all THAT long ago. Nor was it necessarily a cut-and-dried process, i.e., "stick colored film in slot, shoot."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever wonder what's going on behind the eyes of your local librarian? Possibly more than you think.

I've always wondered what makes librarians tick. Certainly they must have a love of books, but I've always figured you had to be a frustrated writer to hang out in the stacks. Some of them are; Marian the Librarian-blogger frequently has a keen eye for the ironic and, occasionally, a wonderful writing style.

If I were to sum up many of the more prominent librarian blogs, though, I'd have to say that the sour, forbidding librarian of the movies isn't that far off. These bloggers appear furious about being librarians, or at least about being librarians in a library that actually admits the public.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["All web search engines give identical results, so there's really no reason to use anything but Google." 

I was participating in a "web for artists" seminar, and that declaration came from a fellow speaker. Being a mini-nerd, I couldn't, oh, realize that it would embarrass the lady to contradict her in front of her audience, so I spoke right up.

"Uhm, 'scuse me, but that's not really true..." and got glared at for my pains. But then I got to thinking: Does extending your query to other search engines increase the quality of your results??

(Uh-oh. I felt an experiment coming on.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every bigtech company has an R&#038;D division hanging around somewhere and if they're smart they talk about it, because gadget freaks like me need a regular injection of coolth. Google Labs, Adobe Labs, Microsoft, all of them offer some form of R&#038;D portal, and they're a great look into where things are headed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got so tired of scrubbing the unspeakably nasty walls behind one mensroom's urinals that I bought a giant red permanent marker and I drew targets, dead-center, on each urinal. Then I hung a sign on the wall just above:

Can YOU hit the bullseye?

Believe it or not, it worked. Next night, for the first time in three years, the walls were clean and dry. Apparently, I'd discovered something called The Fun Theory: Turn it into a game, and more people will do it.]]></description>
