"The most important thing is not what you see but it's what you imagine" -- Leon Bellefleur



"As you grow older, it dawns on you that you are yourself--that your job is not to force yourself into a style--but to do what you want." (Beth van Hoesen)



"One needs to discover an inner well with a natural flow that takes one through an evolution of style--and more than anything it takes an ability to make work that doesn't look like any other. -- http://www.painterskeys.com



" Keep doing what you do, just keep refining and in the long run you will become distinctively unique and of course your individual style and message will shine through touching someone's heart somewhere". -- louise2@primus.com.au

Groxis, Inc., a provider of visual information management software, has announced general availability of Grokker 2, the latest release of its visual search product. The software is designed to organize and visually map thousands of search results from multiple search engines and content sources simultaneously. This also creates the opportunity to build Grokker plug-ins to virtually any content source, database, or search engine on the net.



"InfinteD" much better than 3D, 4D, 11D, etc.



Is "Get lost" better than Get "lost" or find lost ,or search for "lost"?

Inhabited Information Spaces http://www.iisbook.com/

Inhabited Information Spaces (IIS) are a means to fuse the representation of information with a representation of the people using it thereby helping to put the information in context. The field of (IIS) (sometimes referred to as Populated Information Terrains, or PITs) overlaps that of Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) as CVEs are one of the preferred inmplementation techniques for visualisation information in a collaborative way. The key point is that the space used to represent the information is also inhabited by the users of that information whether virtual (via avatars) or by their normal physical presence.

Act One. Sight. Ira with Denis Wood, author of the Power of Maps and Seeing Through Maps: The Power of Images to Shape Our World View.

Wood talks about the maps he's made of his own neighborhood, Boylan Heights, in Raleigh, North Carolina. They include one traditional street locator map, plus a map of all the sewer and power lines under the earth's surface, a map of how the light falls on the ground through the leaves of the trees, a map of where all the Halloween pumpkins are each year, a map of all the graffiti in the neighborhood and of who was mentioned most often in the neighborhood newspaper. He is, in short, creating maps that are more like novels, trying to describe everyday life. (8 minutes)

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to walk from here?"

"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.

"I don't care where" said Alice.

"Then it doesn't matter which way you walk," said the Cat.

"so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.

"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "If only you walk long enough."

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them." Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.

Part of our suffering is our belief that we will reach our destiny only through action.

http://www.taoism.net/theway/suffer.htm

The Master doesn't seek fulfillment. Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things.

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men doesn't try to force issues.

Because he has given up helping, he is people's greatest help.

Care about people's approvaland you will be their prisoner.

Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?

Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.

The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.

Q. How do I design my webpages so they fill the screen on all monitor sizes?

A. If you want to make sure that your site will look well in all resolutions you should first decide what your lowest screen resolution should be (800 X 600). When you design for 800 X 600 make sure that all of your images are optimized for that resolution. Use percentages for your table instead of pixel widths. If you use a fixed pixel width you are setting your table to an absolute measurement. If the table is set to percentages it will expand as needed. Use a bit of JavaScript to check to see what sites look like in various resolutions. Copy and paste this into your browser address:

javascript:resizeTo(640,480)

Hit enter and then save to your favorites. Do the same with the following:

javascript:resizeTo(800,600)

javascript:resizeTo(1024,768)

Your browser will resize itself to the resolutions and you can get an idea of what the page is going to look like.

The Dada Manifesto (1918):

The signatories of this manifesto have, under the battle cry D A D A ! ! !

gathered together to put forward a new art. What, then, is Dadaism? The word "Dada" signifies the most primitive relation to the reality of the environment. . . . Life appears as a simultaneous muddle of noises, colours and spiritual rhythms, which is taken unmodified, with all the sensational screams and fevers of its reckless everyday psyche and with all its brutal reality. . . . Dada is the international expression of our times, the great rebellion of artistic movements, the artistic reflex of all these offensives, peace congresses, riots in the vegetable market. . . . (Hughes, 71) http://www.tcf.ua.edu/Classes/Jbutler/T340/SurrealismLecture.htm





arist Marcel Duchamp was known for dada and cubist work (e.g., Nude Descending a Staircase). http://www.tcf.ua.edu/Classes/Jbutler/T340/SurrealismLecture.htm

Maps are more than pieces of paper

they are stories, conversations,

lives and songs lived out in a place

Maps are inseparable from the political and cultural contexts in which they are used.

Perspective / Focus "If you're painting a cube, you need only get one corner right"-- Ma Yuan lived from about 1190 to about 1224

Ma Yuan was noted for the asymmetry of his compositions. The focus of these paintings is often off to one comer or side (rather than at the center), and actually became known as "one-corner Ma" He lived up to his name by restricting most of the paint to a small portion of his canvases, often in the corner. The emphasis here is on "less" rather than "more," on suggestion rather than full statement.
