What I’m reading this week.

April 7, 2013 By Administrator

Although my main task for today is to review Kellog Foundations Logic Model Development guide for my CCLI lab group project, here’s what else has been piling up in my browser tabs this week.

I’ve been cleaning up the blog look a bit as I try to wean myself off of the no longer functional web design program I was using for the rest of my site, and noticed it’s been really word-heavy lately over here. I had a photo session a couple of weeks ago and hope to have images of spiffy, colorful new artwork to share very, very soon!

information overload

January 22, 2011 By Administrator

I’ve gotten into a habit in the last couple months.  It goes like this:  come home from work…browse through twitter (via hootsuite) and facebook…click on links that interest me…maybe read a third of the article or watch half the youtube video and then get distracted/busy with other things…accumulate at least twelve different tabs in firefox of articles, videos, blogs, etc that I intend to read with this idea that reading them will somehow benefit me or my art career or maybe they will just make me laugh so hard that I fall off my chair.  Keep these tabs open continuously until I read them, asking firefox to save my tabs if I have to quit the program.  The list seems to be neverending.

So I thought while I’m hanging around waiting for my chicken soup to finish cooking, I’d share the random things I have tabbed in my to-read list right now:

a blog entry about community participation in arts funding

an artnews.com article about street art

something about whiteboard accounting which sounds like something very practical

“Isabella Rossellini’s bizarre and artful web series on the mating behaviors of animals”

An article on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, which mostly just interests me cuz I’ve read the Poisonwood Bible

An article on survival skills for fine artists (I tweeted this and didn’t even finish reading it, shame on me)

best Abundant Artist posts of 2010 (I just discovered this website and it has tons of articles that I should read.)

My friend Jade and I went to a book reading last night.  I don’t think I’ve ever gone to one before.  It was Heidi Durrow reading from her book The Girl Who Fell From the Sky.  I liked her writing a lot, it’s very good. The crowd seemed really quiet at first, maybe just due to the bookstore being really quiet, so she had to really work at it to get people to start laughing.  It was kind of awkward but oh well, whatever.

So “go to an author’s book reading” can be checked off my life bucket list now.
