WGA Strike, A national emergency

War in Iraq? Old news. Lead laden toys from china? Big deal. Peak Oil? Puhleez! Global warming? Pffft.

What we really ought to be worried about is the Writers Guild Strike!!

Now, you may already be clicking the comments link to remind me about my rant about our much adored entertainment. Yeah, I know a bit ironic and hypocritical but I'm really starting to take this strike personally!

I don't think I'm prepared to start watching re-runs of Big Bang Theory and Chuck. Not to mention the inevitable delay of the return of Notes From The Underbelly.

I'm still enjoying my made-for-television story telling high from November sweeps week, and I don't think I'll be able to survive the long and arduous drought which lies ahead. Please, networks, give the writers what they want, and avert a potential national catastrophe! Well, maybe it's not that bad, but the recent crop of great shows has renewed my faith in entertaining television, I don't think I'm ready to go back!

Controversial Kinetic Sculpture

It's been entirely too long since I've made a blog entry, and I've got a lot of stuff lined up when I finally get a few free minutes.

In the meantime, this was sent to me, and I found it very interesting, if only from a technical and art perspective. There is a lot of controversy over the inventor/artists use of the analogy of "life" and "evolution". I'm not willing to throw my hat into that circle, and I'm looking at this as a purely academic and scientific pursuit. You're welcome to feel differently.

I submit for your consideration "The art of creating creatures".
