covert pictures
Someone sent me a link to a site that sells a watch that can take pictures. My response to that was:
-----------
that's pretty neat. i've been considering ways to take photographs more covertly. i thought about cutting a small hole in my jacket pocket so i can have my camera in my pocket and take pictures!

by the way, if you're curious, here's the link:

last day of age

On my last day as being age 25, I face a tradition that has eerily followed me since my senior year in college. On the day before my birthday, I become a lot more focused and productive with my artwork.

Nov 19, 1996 (senior year)
I produced the award winning photos of my head in a 10-gallon aquarium

I developed the idea for the mail campaign. (yet to be launched)

Nov 19, 2001
I've been planning my art-making vacation for the last week in november, and last week of december.

Yeah, I'm missing years 1997-1999. I don't have the specifics of what I thought or made those days, but I specifically remember the fact that I did something on those days.

Color Management
Does anyone have any good articles or links to color managment?

Right now i'm doing mega-research on color management. I'm pulling together the most incredible, in-depth full coverage of links to articles about color management. I'm also trying to fix up our computers to print more accurately. I got bitten this past week when some of my signage for a really important show came out all wrong. So I figure I'm gonna set this straight.

College of Surgeons...true name?
Here's an email that I sent to the College of Surgeons today. I am currently awaiting a response.

Subject: College of Surgeons...the true name?

I was just in your building in Chicago yesterday for a meeting. Someone informed me that the College of Surgeons isn't actually a college in the sense of like a university. It's more like an organization.

I found that rather odd. My theory is that when your organization was founded back in 1913, it was really meant to be called the Colleagues of Surgeons. Someone back in 1913 just mispelled the name as "College" instead of "Colleagues."

Is this true? I think so, this makes perfect sense to me.
