I’m always curious about new ways to exhibit art work, so every now and then I’ll go exploring alternative spaces which include flying through SecondLife to see if I can find something new that I may not see anywhere else. This month I found a virtual art exhibition on at La Criee Art Gallery in [...]
KURU KURU WORLD
I’m a geek. I’ll be the first to admit it. I love technology almost as much as I love art, and I respect artists that have embraced technology wholeheartedly. It is the week between Christmas and New Year’s. While many folks are off visiting relatives and spreading holiday joy, I have nothing, or not much, [...]

Band members Mike [...]
Mayan *Tsikbal
Using the words Maya and Mayan and knowing the difference between the two is not a simple concept for an English speaking brain. These two words are not interchangeable, nor are they singular words describing a broad culture, like the more familiar word French that means *anything* of French culture or of France. Where did [...]
