Wood that Works
Artist David C. Roy has always been fascinated by mechanics and motion. He graduated with a degree in physics that led him to the creation of these unique kinetic sculptures. He has handcrafted over 90 limited-edition and one-of-a-kind scupltures that require no battieries or electricity; they just need winding, then the spring-driven mechanism takes over, providing 3 – 20 hours

Niklas Meijer Interviews Stacy Reed
Recently, I was asked for an interview by fractal-enthusiast, Nik Meijer. Nik and I have co-administrated 2 important fractal communities together and he has become a good friend of mine. So it is with pleasure that I share the interview that follows, which was intended for publication at the deviantArt community. Nik: When did you start expressing yourself artistically? Stacy:

The Museum of Bad Art
Let's admit it. Some art is good, some art is fair, and some art… well, it's bad… very very bad. So bad that it should not be forgotten, but memorialized forever in it's own little corner of the intarweb. The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad
Buckham Alley Theatre is the WORST theatre in Michigan
This place is a bloody freaking joke, miscast, poorly directed, poorly selected plays, dirty conditions, run down appearance, etc. Basically they are frustrated wannabe thespians who were denied real parts in high school. Now they are desperately seeking their second chance at any pathetic local fame they can achieve as they ruin the nights of theatergoers who would like to
February Surprise at Buckham Alley Theatre
February the 15th is very special to me, because three years ago I saw the lovely Sya for the first time after a long 15 years away. Finding her has changed everything in my life and given me the greatest sense of completeness and wholeness I have ever experienced. So for that day we usually plan something special, and time
Power of the Dark Crystal
Earlier this month, co-CEO of the Jim Henson Company, Lisa Henson, announced that Genndy Tartakovsky will be directing Power ofthe Dark Crystal, the long -awaited sequel to the 1982 film The Dark Crystal.

Fernando portrays a world in which headless figures strike provocative poses, flowers offer sensual statements when juxtaposed to modern-day machinery,
6 Hours of TV Worth Watching
Okay, I am not a big TV fan, because lets face it, most TV is trash. I could care less about CSI:Hoboken, Hospital Drama 403, or any of the truly rotten reality/competition shows. I will not waste a lot of time directly attacking any lame shows but anyone with a room temp IQ thought American Idol was interesting but lame
Can Fractal Analysis Detect Duped Art?
Richard P. Taylor, a physics professor at the University of Oregon, used fractal geometry to look for patterns in drip paintings that have been claimed by their owner to be original Jackson Pollocks and found that they do not exhibit the same types of patterns. While this doesn't necessarily prove that Pollock didn't paint them, art historians and dealers say
Security Holes in Photoshop and AIM
According to a recent report by researches from Princeton, some popular applications such as AIM and Photoshop cause security problems once they are installed because they make changes to the operating system that can allow attackers to bypass Windows security mechanisms. PCWorld reports that hackers are targeting software programs because of the growing number of security flaws found in them
Bush’s FY 2007 Cuts Arts Education Fund
Bush sent the fiscal year 2007 budget request to Congress yesterday and it looks grim. Becky Lewis of OMB Watch summarized, “By focusing on the budget for sacrifices, as opposed to the tax cuts, the administration makes it quite clear that they are more comfortable with taking from low- and moderate-income families than they are with taking from the super-wealthy.”
