NPR Story – a true techy-feely moment
I was driving home yesterday from work and heard this story on NPR’s All Things Considered. I had missed the first story, however, that aired about a week earlier.

Upgrade time for the blog
So, I have been upgrading other folks WP installations to the latest and greatest (named for Ella Fitzgerald – a true great, herself). But, I have been neglecting my own little part of the blog-osphere. What’s up with that? I am going to dive in and back up everything and bring myself up to date…
Visualizing the Complex and the Related
As a frustrated artist-wannabe, I am always intrigued by projects that work to visually explain, connect, explore and/or organize complex relationships between people/events/news/insert your item here. Seeing that kind of work online always inspires me and reminds me of the techy-feely relationship we all have with our arts (digital or not). One of my favorites…
