New Section on MoMA Teen Site

I just finished helping get together a new section for the MoMA Teen site, Red Studio, that highlights work by the students in the summer program. I didn’t do any of the flasher bits on the site, but helped get the video compressed and into a Flash player, among other HTML smashing.

George and stuff

I don’t know ’bout you, but everytime I see Bush speak I think of stuff in his hands. Here are some examples:
Regular:

Playin’ with putty:

Yeah yeah, I should have cleaned these up, and where’s the cat’s cradle, but whatever.

Wooster on Spring

The Wooster Collective (http://www.woostercollective.com) is hosting an amazing street art show this weekend in the city. Here are some photos from the opening that I was lucky enough to sneak into thanks to a friend at Cabinet magazine (so subscribe, please — http://cabinetmagazine.org). The photos REALLY don’t do it justice, but click below to see some snapshots.

MonkeyBicycle: A great name, a funny site

Just got a piece published on MonkeyBicycle.net, http://www.monkeybicycle.net/archive/Hart/text.html, an ode to my first New York apartment. Not mentioned is the time when the sweatshop next door caught on fire. Incidentally, the sweatshop has flipped and is now high-priced condos.

Like a Cat with a Cardboard Box (and a Secret Handshake)

You know that sense of annoyance you get when you spend a lot of money on a present for a child or cat and they enjoy the box more? My girlfriend may be feeling it now when she brought home the Greatest Thing Ever from the free bookpile at work: Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry! Better (possibly) than any Christmas gift!

Freemasons, besides being a guaranteed chuckle for me, have some hilarious illustrations. Check out the gilded cover and Figure below!

So if you see me on the street, give me the Real Grip, My Mark Master Mason!
