The new improved
AND
I have spent most of the day at my computer improving my wordpress skills so I could move my Links blog off wordpress.com (they started including ads on their hosted blogs) and then updated and redesigned both blogs. I made my first wordpress child theme, rewrote some php files, changed the css, etc. At least I have something to show for these hours of staring at my screen, but seems a far cry from art making, but part of the process I suppose.
Marianne and I are writing about Collected Visions for Photoworks journal. To get my mind moving to answer her questions. I started researching what the web looked like in 1996 when Collected Visions launched.

More Links #egypt
These were the live feeds I could find. Many sites are transmitting Al Jazeera live streaming. Many have live twitter feeds and intermittent video reports from Cairo. At my studio now but it never occurred to me to turn on the TV.
Feed links:
BBC News – Egypt unrest
Al Jazeera English live stream
CNN Live: Egyptian State TV
Egypt protest:live – Telegraph
I could find no US live feeds.
Re: my last post
I am sure this headline is in response to the widespread publication of the crazed video grab of the shooter that has had front page exposure both on and offline.
Wandered over to the Huffington Post and was surprised and happy to see their headline. Took this screen grab at 3:36pm since the headline keeps changings. Here is the link to the story

didn’t realize all that was going on at Tumblr. I think this is the place for my new daily migraine/no migraine project.
