Caught My Eye

  • CJR – McCain/Stephanopoulos: The Twitterview
    A review of today's Twitter-based interview:

    "It’s hard to conclude that today’s Twitterview was anything more than a shallow publicity stunt, aimed not at information or dialogue, but at making its participants—not only the (in)famously tech-reticent McCain, but his interviewer, as well—appear, you know, 'with it.'"

    I have to agree. It was lame and unsatisfying but then again, Twitter works best when people are fast typers and it felt like McCain was typing with one finger.

  • Curbed – You Can Buy a Home at the Queens Museum of Art
    The cash-straped museum is allowing people to adopt an apartment, house or building that is part of their fantastic diorama of New York. I wonder how much the MoMA costs?

  • NewYorkShitty – Paul Richards Creates REAL Street Art
    I've notice Richards stuff around north Brooklyn before but his recent "Untitled (Change you can believe in)" may very well be his best.

  • Joanne Mattera Art Blog – Armory Week: Salvage Operation
    Joanne does some juxtaposing and show us that Joy Garnett may very well be a psychic, as well as, a wonderful painter.

  • IainClaridge – Who Madonna Shagged…
    A new MTV ad reminds us who Madonna slept with & why it's important to use a condom.

  • Neurartic – Gertrude Stein, The Fabulous Collector
    It's nice to feel that I'm not the only looney who spends way to much of his budget on art:

    "Gertrude Stein lived a fabulous life, choosing to direct all her financial resources to the purchase of art, and to the sustenance and support of an extraordinary circle of friends."

  • Swissmiss – Thoughts on SXSW (& Blogging for the Visually Impaired)
    She brings up something I don't nearly think enough about:

    "One of the most touching and memorable moments for me was when Desiree of Knowbility, who is blind, showed me how she surfs the web. She pulled up swissmiss and showed me her experience of surfing my site. I learned that I need to tag my images better, or tag them, period. Desiree also showed me how she posts to her blog called Universallydesigned.net."

    This encourages me to tag my images. I don't think I do that at all.
