We had so much fun making that last video, we’re doing it again. We’re all attending the 2012: Montezuma’s Last Prophecy show on June 29th. We’ll have a few video cameras floating around at this excellent event. We went last weekend and it was a total blast, so we’re going again. Drums, drums, and more [...]

Recently Natalie took part of an event at the Tampa Museum of Art, “Art After Dark.” It was wonderful! Natalie had several pieces on display and actually created a piece live while the event was going on. There was music, an open bar, tons of art, and an all around great vibe you only get [...]

One of my favorite gadget blogs, Gizmodo, is opening up (or exapnding) the discussion of digital rights in a rapidly shifting world by encouraging a boycott of the RIAA, which I support.

Since humans are visual creatures, we also learned to communicate via the use of visual representation of [...]

Okay. I am not the artist in the family. I can draw reasonably well, but this semester I am taking a course called “Color Theory.” Now why would a culinary student want to take such a class?
Well, to challenge me and help me with making better looking platings. No, I am serious. Why ya laughing?

I’m in Finals…
For a culinary student, that means hard labor and an artistic creation all in the space of a few hours. And later in the week, you do it again.
Ever see Iron Chef? Two great chefs compete, not really knowing what the secret ingredient is before the show begins. They have to use their [...]
