Ugh!
Today I just took measurements of the wall in the ANR box suite of the stadium. I realized my memory sucks, and now I have to rework my design. I am so glad I didn’t cut any of my materials yet, because then I would have been screwed. It’s frustrating trying to think of this painting three dimensionally. I think this is the first project where I’ll actually be constructing the...

The Internet has come a long way since the early 90’s when I first started using it. I am actually really glad we had to write about it’s history, because I didn’t know that there was an even earlier form of the Internet dating back to the 1960’s, after the USSR first launched SPUTNIK. (on a somewhat related note: Did you know that there are a few people out there whose...
