I've been a painter all my life, always an artist with a day job. I was a Chef for most of the first 30 years of working life.
When I wasn't a Chef, my day jobs included Co-Director at an Art Gallery, Development Director at an NPR station and a Building Manager for an international slumlord.
For the past 12 years, my day job has been a Web Designer - Social Media Producer at a retail store.
Currently, I mostly make art with an iPhone for online sharing and have fun sussing out the Social Web.
ColeMarie Soleil made this machinima music video by capturing, with a webcam, a live in-world show by Skye Galaxy doing "Mad World".
I love the effect. Makes me want to dust off my Second Life ambitions from a few years ago -- get in there and make art.
The 19th Century building is a little hidden, on the far left - 15 Park Row. Trying to be poetic with photo titles in the morning before work is problematical.
Like many of my recent images, this is a panorama made of about 30 iPhone 3GS shots, stitched with the Autostitch app and color adjusted and uploaded full rez with the Photogene app.
This is one of my favorite spots to capture. I feel nostalgic for St. Paul's Chapel already and I don't leave NY for 20 more days.

The hO2+ scraper proposes to break free of the urban fabric and functions as self-sufficient ambassadors in the sea. The hO2+ scraper is an autonomous floating unit of livable, functional and self sustaining space which will function, in a collective manner, as a floating city. It is self sufficient as it generates its own power through wave, wind, current, solar, bio etc. and it generates its own food through farming, aquaculture, hydroponics etc. It carries with its own small forest on top its back and supports places for users to live and works in its depths. Its bioluminescent tentacles provide sea fauna a place to live and congregate while collecting energy through its kinetic movements. Such sustainability strategies aim to ultimately create and provide an oasis with ‘Zero’ negative impacts to the environment, not only that but also improves on it hence the ’Plus’. Aptly as poetic antithesis to a skyscraper which goes up into the heavens the hO2+ scraper goes down to the depths of the sea.

The cell phone that you’re carrying doubles as a tracking device. That’s right, Verizon has a record of where you've been and now the government is seeking explicit permission from the courts to access those records without probable cause. Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Kevin Bankston explains.

Superb editing, choreography. A delightful depiction of our social flow in digiland. Music's nice, too.

Gillmor Gang 03.03.10 After the DeWit Clinton presentation on Buzz roadmap.
Steve Gillmor, Robert Scoble, Kevin Marks
My notes (incomplete & inaccurate):
How long until they duplicate Friend Feed?
Well, they're about 3/4 of the way there.
Buzz is really bad when trying to keep out the noise in large groups.
Granular control is coming.
A lot more stuff from strangers, no icon, no clues about them.
Want a strict reverse chronological order.
Some clients show all the threaded comments.
Salmon is the protocol where new comments swim upstream across platforms to originating post.
Google is a Tier 1 licensee of the Twitter firehose, it's not know why they don't bring it to Buzz.
Clients can't innovate beyond what's included in the platform.
Wordpress has bought into PubSubHubbub.
As of now there's more value from native Buzz posts.
Buzz is crawling Twitter, not using the firehose.
Flickr feed takes hours to reach Buzz.
Logjam - too many Indians, not enough Chiefs.
Wordpress' Twitter integration will help.
Google with all it's resources is months behind what Friend Feeds' 14 developers were able to accomplish.
Continuing to irritate people, the damage will be greater than the initial privacy issue was.
If Google lets Buzz wallow in naiveté for six months, Buzz will be dead.
Twitter is already becoming internally balkanized like a mini-Microsoft.
We didn't hear any indication of when we see Buzz grow up.
