rockstar

Did everyone watch Gossip Girl last night? Yes, I am sure you all did because it is the shit.

Any which ways, you know the part when Lil J skipped school to go meet drug dealer Damien so he could take her v card?

She totally stomped out of her apartment to Rihanna's "Rockstar." I hadn't heard the song till last night, but I oc like it.

betty white on ellen

Did you know that...

They sell lights for cornhole boards and lighted plexi-boards, so you can play into the evening hours! We are building boards and were joking the other day how we should add lights for later play. Turns out the internet has thought of EVERYTHING!



























Also, this guy went to town and built lights recessed into his board.

not to be confused with...

i like america, and america likes me. the 1974 performance piece by joseph beuys. mr. beuys, german, flew to new york city and was transported via ambulance to a performance space in the rené block gallery. there he spent 8 hours, over three days, in a room with a gray felt blanket, and a coyote. for all intents and purposes, mr beuyes never stepped foot in america as he never saw anything other than the airport, and the interior of the gallery. footage of his arrival in nyc is at the beginning of we like america, and america likes us.

thanks emily!

this video accompanies an installation as part of the whitney biennial. produced by the bruce high quality foundation, it was probably the only interesting example of video art to be had. to give a little context , the video is projected from inside a ghost busters style, curtained 1972 miller-meteor ambulance/hearse onto the windshield of the vehicle, hence the ghost busters footage. enjoy!

i...didn't know you could do that.

MoMA just acquired the @ symbol for their permanent collection.

Some linguists believe that @ dates back to the sixth or seventh century, a ligature meant to fuse the Latin preposition ad—meaning “at”, “to,” or “toward”—into a unique pen stroke. The symbol persisted in sixteenth-century Venetian trade, where it was used to mean amphora, a standard-size terracotta vessel employed by merchants, which had become a unit of measure. Interestingly, the current Spanish word for @, arroba, also indicates a unit of measure.

The @ symbol was known as the ‘”commercial ‘a’” when it appeared on the keyboard of the American Underwood typewriter in 1885, and it was defined as such, for the first time, in the American Dictionary of Printing & Bookmaking in 1894. From this point on the symbol itself was standardized both stylistically and in its application, and it appeared in the original 1963 ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) list of computer codes. At the time @ was explained as an abbreviation for the word “at” or for the phrase “at the rate of,” mainly used in accounting and commercial invoices. (via)

kewl! brb attempting to sell the winking frown to MoMA. ;(

happy healthcare tuesday!

obama's gonna sign that shit into law today! are you excited?! i think i am.

if you're not sure, you can check out this breakdown of just what's in the bill, and when it will all go into effect. it's helpful, i think.

a smart republican

David Frum, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the conservative research organization, said Republicans had tried to defeat the bill to undermine Mr. Obama politically, but in the process had given up a chance of influencing a huge bill. Mr. Frum said his party’s stance sowed doubts with the public about its ideas and leadership credentials, and ultimately failed in a way that expanded Mr. Obama’s power.

“The political imperative crowded out the policy imperative,” Mr. Frum said. “And the Republicans have now lost both.”

"Politically, I get the ‘let’s trip up the other side, make them fail’ strategy,” he said. “But what’s more important, to win extra seats or to shape the most important piece of social legislation since the 1960s? It was a go-for-all-the-marbles approach. Unless they produced an absolute failure for Mr. Obama, there wasn’t going to be any political benefit.” (via)
