Striking Out – Vesely Creative
@CrystaVesely Fascinating how "to strike out" has so many meanings. I might make a webcomic about this.

When you want to go to the art museum, but have to grocery shopping instead - Spudart
I had a couple different ledes on this silly story: * Today I found Andy Warhol at Mariano's. * Mariano's doesn't realize it, but they are one of those trendy Instagrammable pop-ups museums. * The Art Institute doesn't have much to say about carrying Salted Caramel Crunch®. All of them felt too click-baity, so I didn't use them.

Ryne Sandberg enjoyed looking at my World Series scorecards - 57 hits
A couple days ago I was showing my cousin Peter the area where Sandberg was waiting. We walked under the escalators. You know what we discovered? It's BATHROOMS! Hahaha. That makes sense. Ryno was using the bathroom before going on air.

Only 8 guerilla art videos on Youtube in the past year - Spudart
Given that there are only a few results for “guerilla art” on Youtube, I’d like to use RSS to follow any new results. I thought Youtube had a fancy thing where you can add a string of text to the end of any search URL, and it converts to RSS. But I guess I was thinking of eBay. So instead I’m using Google Alerts’ RSS to follow this search in Youtube. Maybe there’s another method.

I'd like to know what actually triggered the "shredder" to activate? Someone with a remote control? A sound? If it was sound-activated, wouldn't it have accidentally activated itself earlier? Most likely someone in the crowd activated the "shredder." But whooooo?

Reply to Equity Unbound Webcomic: Splintered Digital Identities | Kevin Hodgson
Every time I read your blog I think about how cool it is that you have everything on your site. I have at least 15 active Twitter accounts (or now semi-active). I should be posting them to my own site first, and then distributing to the various social channels.

A History of Height: Chicago and the Tribune Tower – Secret Knowledge of Spaces
My favorite stone in the Tribune Tower facade is the one just to the left of the entrance—Royal Castle of Stockholm. Over the years while working there, I adopted this little ledge as my own little public gallery. Every now and then I’d leave artwork on this stone. A photo gallery of some of the art placed at the Royal Castle Gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/spudart/albums/72157649494403704

A Provocation for the Open Pedagogy Community | Hapgood
I'm happy to say that my blog posts dating back to 2001 are still online. The blog went from hand-code to Blogger to pMachine to Wordpress. All along the way I managed to keep the 2,500+ blog posts and 25,000 comments. I love the idea of federation with many copies in storage and use. At some point, I'll probably reign in all my tweets.
