So Who Can Sleep at a Time Like This?

Blogging has come a long way from Skyler the teenage love-puppy looking for love in all the wrong places.  It has become a community of ideas where one can express their feelings, advance their culture, show compassion, or showcase their art.

Speaking of art, I have always been intrigued with printmaking, to the point of taking courses in mono-print and intaglio.  There is just something about the smell of the ink and the feelings of awe and reverence when in the presence of nearly a ton of steel that is the press. There’s the thrill of rolling the paper through and throwing the blanket back to see what you have created, though it is not always a pleasant surprise and there is no going back in some cases. I believe /t. has captured the essence of printmaking in a digital medium.  He has some exceptional examples on his site codepo().  If you get a chance head on over and let your eyes have a treat.  

There are some Blogs, such as Blogs get Slaughtered where one can let their hair down a bit (if, unlike me you have hair) and not worry about someone playing the yellow card/red card soccer penalty crap. Some one panned Timmy’s site recently and I fail to see the purpose behind being so malicious (part of that is probably because it is 3 in the morning and I can’t see much of anything). I come across sites I don’t like from time to time, but with a click of the mouse I move and don’t feel the need to publish some judgmental crap on their short comings.  If someone takes it upon him or herself to critique Blogs they need to enroll in a two step program: Step one, move out of mom’s house; Step 2 find something more constructive to do with your time.  

The bottom line is hit the links and enjoy the ride…
