Got in on the first 10K offers for google appengine and have been offline and busy for the last couple of days. Working on my latest version of Nextgen. Nextgen is an idea rather than a product. You can read about it here.
Till now I've used flickr as my blog. Not now. I'm switching camps. The idea of the site is to write about a couple of new projects I'm working on. Much longer articles on interesting things I find. Flickr is still an important part because I'll be using flickr as my scaled image host. Any image you see on my site will now potentially be available for use.
I really want to use some sort of markup instead of plain html. I would like to use restructuredText but appengine is CPU sensitive. I'm not sure if I can have docutils installed. Maybe I could write the text in some other editor client side and convert it to valid XHTML. Bit lame but it is something I would consider.

We decided to hit up another Logical Puzzle House, this time equipped with crazy glasses that made it pretty hard to see much of anything.
Bishop, Richard (1887–1975)
Untitled
Watercolor and ink on paper
1 1/2 x 2 inches
Etching is perhaps the most mechanical of artistic processes. Given Richard Bishop’s formal study of engineering at Cornell University, the highly technical medium was a logical platform for his aesthetic expression—especially when that expression coincided with his lifelong passion for bird hunting and his exceptional marksmanship. Following military service in World War I, the New York native settled in Philadelphia and launched a successful career at a local manufacturing plant; he retired in 1933 in order to give his full attention to art. Game birds were Bishop’s subject of choice, and he faithfully recorded their motions and migrations in various habitats up and down the Eastern Seaboard—on land and water, and on the wing. In order to capture the physics and poetry of flight patterns, the artist used both single lens photography and high-speed motion picture cameras to document the flocks’ airborne acrobatics, later using the films as references for his studio sketches and paintings in both oil and watercolor. Dick Bishop first visited the Santee Club in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in the mid-1920s. As one of the club's few honorary members, he hunted there regularly through the late 1960s, and his art attests to his love for the place and its people.
Best known for his prints which were published in two book collections, Bishop's Birds and Bishop's Wildfowl, the artist was a member of several prestigious etching societies. In 1936, the artist was selected to execute the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting stamp. His work can be found in the collections of the Georgia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Stark Museum of Art.

All the Small Things
TJC Gallery, Spartanburg SC
February 19, 2025 – April 4, 2025
thejohnsoncollection.org/all-the-small-things/
Size matters in art. The scale of a work when seen in person can be an essential ingredient in its visual impact. And the received canon of fine art in the West has a clear bias for BIG things—from the monumental statuary of antiquity to the massive canvases in the contemporary art scene. Indeed, for the past four hundred years, artists have been highly incentivized to “go big,” as larger works commanded more prestige. Within the hierarchy of art genres inherited from the seventeenth century and the standardized measurements that evolved in the art industries of the nineteenth century, the largest canvases and commissions have traditionally been reserved for imposing landscapes and full-length portraits. Against this grain, the present exhibition celebrates the wondrous world of small art—in this case, paintings of no more than twenty inches.
Why might an artist work on a small scale? For some the motivation may be economic. Larger paintings mean more material costs, from more paint to bigger frames and heftier shipping prices. Thus, the size of an artwork potentially reveals unequal financial challenges faced by, for instance, women artists, self-taught artists, or artists of color. At the same time, the cheaper costs of smaller works make them well-suited for preliminary studies (as with Aaron Douglas’s The Toiler) or for trial efforts with new styles and techniques (such as Theodoros Stamos’s experiments with abstraction in Flow). Smaller art is more portable, making it ideal for artists working in the plein-air tradition or those working rapidly for tourist markets. Finally, although petite paintings have historically been relegated to subjects considered mundane or insignificant, these small works can instead confer an intimacy and humanity for the artist and viewer alike.

THE JOHNSON COLLECTION - A Private Collection for Public Good
thejohnsoncollection.org/the-collection/
Sharing the art it stewards with communities across the country is The Johnson Collection’s essential purpose and propels our daily work. Much more than a physical place, TJC seeks to be a presence in American art, prioritizing access over location. Since 2013, the collection’s touring exhibitions have been loaned twenty-five times, placed without fee in partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.2 million visitors. In its showcase of over 1,000 objects, TJC’s website functions as a digital museum, available anywhere and anytime.
What began as an interest in paintings by Carolina artists in 2002 has grown to encompass over 1,400 objects with provenances that span the centuries and chronicle the cultural evolution of the American South.
Today, The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William D. Washington’s The Burial of Latané to Malvin Gray Johnson’s Roll Jordan Roll, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
.The contributions of women artists, ranging from Helen Turner—only the fourth woman elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design in 1921—to Alma Thomas—the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at a major national museum in 1972—are accorded overdue attention, most notably in TJC's most recent publication and companion exhibition, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.'

"If you’re looking for a vibe, this is where you’ll find it. Spartanburg is one of South Carolina’s most established, respected, progressive, and diverse art communities with everything from the fine arts—ballet, symphonies, and opera—to the cutting edge—street performers, graffiti, and dance mobs.
Experience the Cultural District
Downtown Spartanburg has even been designated as a cultural district by the South Carolina Arts Commission. Within the cultural district, you can walk to and enjoy world-class art galleries, studios, music venues, breweries, culinary arts, local literature publishers, coffee shops, libraries, museums, and more. Regardless of when you visit, you’re likely to encounter live music in the streets, featuring jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, or beach music.
Come experience how we put the art in SpARTanburg."

1. There are so many not logical people that I get stressed a lot.
2. There are so many random people hitting me while we walk by each other... I've never experienced this kinda stuff when I was in the states, so these days I get pissed so easily wherever I go.
3. There's nothing much to eat around the school. Especially the school cafeteria thing makes me wanna throw up.
4. There is no reasonableness, no logic, no effort, and no respect. What more can I say about it?
5. Here I stop complaining. Tomorrow I want things to change.
The first logical thought for a couple after deciding to marry is what the wedding will be like. Weddings are a great time for inviting friends and family to share in your celebration of love however, addititionally there is plenty of work ahead. The following tips will ensure a smooth wedding.
Religion is possibly the most influential aspect of any wedding ceremony. It is advisable to have conversations with your future mate and his or her family to be sure you all understand each other's religious beliefs.
Remember to consider how you would like the alcohol at your reception served, and how much it will cost. Open bars are expensive, especially if they're open for a long time. Ask the venue you're thinking of having the wedding at about the different types of alcohol they serve, and what they have available.
If you are planning to provide your own food at the wedding, try shopping wholesale at places like Costco. When you're shopping wholesale, you will be able to purchase a lot more food for a lot less than if you were to shop elsewhere. Ask friends to help on food, too.
Use the property of a relative or friend to hold your wedding. If you're in touch with people with a farm or a big backyard, this can be a cheap place for you to host a wedding event ceremony. Offer to pay someone to come in ahead of time and after the event to do the cleaning for them, but that should be your only cost.
See if you can use a loved one's property for your big day. If you're friends with someone who owns a large backyard, you can have a cheaper wedding there. Offer to pay people to enter into the place ahead of time to do some cleaning and then after the event, which will be the only costs.
A nice present to give to your wedding guests at a wedding in a different town is a gift basket full of vacation items that you can have sent to their room. Include items that will be useful, like a tourist map, disposable camera, sunglasses, a hat, and pamphlets from fun places to visit in the area. You could also include flyers and coupons for local restaurants.
Wedding plans require a lot of effort, but the end result is definitely worth it. Wedding days are for celebrating, so be sure to enjoy every minute of it. Apply the recommendations here to make your own wedding and reception planning as smooth as possible. www.picturesandhearts.com.au
Taken from page 11 of "Essentials of Foundation Strategy," this chart shows that of foundation CEOs and staff who reported having only a strategic plan, they base decisions on the logical fit between the strategy and goals to a lesser extent than those who reported having both a strategic plan and a logic model.
