I had a lovely few days at Sam’s parents’ house for Thanksgiving, and I can’t thank them enough for their hospitality. There’s another week of break left, and hopefully more real blogging to come in the next few days.
It’s finally over. November 17, 2007
Fall quarter is officially over. Only two left until I’m done with school forever. Not that that’s any more comforting. It’s just that sometimes I don’t really think I’m cut out for this whole school thing. But today I feel really good and productive again.
I’m going to make something beautiful today.

I have so much to say about this past weekend in NYC at the OFFF conference, but I have lots of cleaning and work to catch up on before I can sit down and do that. So I will share two lovely things with you for now and get back to that later.
Lovely thing number one:
The whole conference I was at this weekend was about using new technology and media to its greatest artistic and creative potential. So imagine my delight when I read about this show from one of my regular art bloggers (I have forgotten which one, oops). It’s all about using video and animation to create art. One day I’ll be rich enough to fly all over the world on a whim to see great shows like this one. That’s the plan anyway.
Lovely thing number two:
Over the weekend, both my father (via Pownce) and Sam’s father (via his blog) posted this video:
(Sorry, for some reason I couldn’t get it to embed here)
I thought that was pretty interesting.
Alright, well, this apartment isn’t going to clean itself. And Helen the guinea pig is very little help.
And they’re OFFF! November 1, 2007
Later today I leave good old Rochester for the big city. I’m going to the OFFF conference in NYC, and it looks like it should be amazing (although I admit I am still trying to figure out what OFFF stands for, or if it even stands for anything). I’m looking forward to lots of really cool new media artistic creative nerdy people and presentations. And it looks like Adobe is going to be giving a sneak peak into their future products, which should be awesome. And there’s plenty of performance art to go around too. Not to mention workshops. A very exciting weekend.
