I agree with 1999-me about the web
In 1999 in answer to a comment that read: Check it out if you don’t believe me. I thought that cross-browser compatibility meant that everything looked the same in both browser, but I guess not. Here’s what I wrote: Cross-browser compatibility does NOT mean that everything looks the same everywhere. It means that I have...

WOCA, Saturday
On Saturday I exhibited work at WOCA. It was a wonderful time. Kelly was very supportive. I have a passel of photos yet to post and I want to add the pieces I made to my art page in the next week. I’ve been to WOCA several times with friends, and this is the third...

I’ve started a newsletter
You’re welcome to subscribe. See https://artlung.com/newsletter/ I’m committed to doing this on Mondays for a year. Let’s see how it goes. I’m using Buttondown and did some custom programming against the existing things I make to generate a markdown file which I can then use inside Buttondown. That address again: https://artlung.com/newsletter/

Friday, variance
I will be showing at WOCA again this weekend. Saturday. A selection of works made from found objects at the beach. I’ll post photos in the future. But come on down to WOCA and I’ll be there. I hope it’ll be fun. We may get food from The Hat afterwards. Art Spiegelman remains an influence...

Losing one of my handplanes last week has inadvertently unlocked new ride approaches. Progress is not linear. Progress and serendipity are sometimes aligned.

On reading obituaries for Tim Curry and Dolly Parton

Hey let’s update websites!
Among the older things I put on the web were fansites: Bebe Ads Ronny Vardy Fan Stew & The Negro Problem Lyrics These are run with WordPress. I did some maintenance on them today. Not particularly interesting, but it keeps me busy. I added SoundCloud to my feed patterns list page, kind of obvious to...

Sunday Chill
Panorama, Sunday It’s been foggy the last few mornings at the beach. And the weather has been hotter. The water temperature has been colder. I’m working on things. Making adjustments. Riding waves, both water and metaphorical. What wave it next?

Chuck Tingle and the Internet
Beth Accomando interviewing Chuck Tingle Kelly got us tickets to see Chuck Tingle speak at KPBS San Diego Book Festival. It was a hot day and it was great to peruse the booths and the energy of the folks walking the USD campus was terrific. Aside: I got to tell Kelly (again) that my parents,...

A fine foggy morning. Two surfers argued in the surf. Dumb. But like toddlers they wore themselves out eventually.

handgun: discussed; handgun: lost
We drove to Orange County yesterday. Kelly went to work, and I stole away to the beach at Huntington. I enjoy the scene at Huntington Beach, and I’ve been treated well by the folks in the water each time. Yesterday as I was walking out, in my wetsuit and carrying my swim fins and handplanes,...

“Good Television” ~ Chris Gethard
Class Action Park is a great documentary about a New Jersey waterpark where people died. Even just the trailer is amazing. Seek out the documentary and watch it. Chris Gethard is one of the folks interviewed for the documentary. He wrote for “Weird New Jersey” I think Gethard is great. He’s responsible for a piece...

Ch-Ch-Changes
James sent me this the other day. That’s Gwen, tired. I left my place of employment. The weight of the last job was unhealthy and so I took action. I don’t like it when something with promise turns rancid. I don’t know what’s next, but I can be hired to do any number of web...

Moving Water
Yesterday I went to the beach. Water is always in motion. I have many opinions and intuitions about the motion of water. I go to the beach when I am likely to be able to ride waves. I make myself aware of time and tide, wind and the size and shape of water. James mentioned...

So much in my mind and notebooks. It’s good. Last week I started a page with rough ideas which I might implement at some point. It’s at /ideas/. Comic-Con was so great. Still a few more days to get in an entry to this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. In a few days will be Send a...

Notes from Thursday at Comic Con
I wore my “Q” cosplay. We drove to the former movie-theater where Gwen boards during Comic-Con. After all, these are long days away from home, and so Gwen gets a vacation, too. While we were walking her before dropping her off a fellow yelled at me, “Q!” He came up to me and asked where...

Yesterday’s session
Even mediocre conditions can make great sessionsI saw a surfer in the water smiling big. Conditions were middling. Closeouts. Pretty choppy. There were some corners to be had, but a lot of fierce paddling by surfers ending in not-ridden waves. The smiling man was smiling SO BIG. He looked like maybe he’d burst into song–like...

Our doubts… (Measure for Measure)
“Our doubts are traitors / And make us lose the good we oft might win / By fearing to attempt.” Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare (Kelly and I saw it at the Old Globe yesterday)
