Help me get over this painful breakup I'm all blue and weepy. It all seemed to be going so well when he suddenly told me that he's just not feeling it any more and has been feeling less into this relationship for the past two months. We'd been dating for six. A short relationship in the scheme of things, but it was intense and wonderful and I genuinely liked him (and still like him).

I don't know what to do with myself. And I must focus because I have a conference coming up in two weeks!

You know how when you're moving, there's a point at which you're trying to get ready to go before that last major big moving day, and 80% of your stuff is in boxes, and you don't know where anything is, and you absolutely hate all your stuff and never want to see it again, and everything you once thought you wanted looks tatty and gross, and the place is full of dust and old coins and weird odds and ends and you can no longer even make decisions about what to keep and what to throw away or possibly remember why in the hell you ever bought that crappy stuff in the first place, and you've misspent your whole life and just want to put everything out on the curb and go live in a VW camper for the rest of your life with your only possessions a tin enamelware cup, a woolly sweater, and a transistor radio?

That's about where I am right now.

Fictitious Landscapes: "Kim Keever's large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing miniature topographies in a 200-gallon tank, which is then filled with water. These dioramas of fictitious environments are brought to life with colored lights and the dispersal of pigment, producing ephemeral atmospheres that he must quickly capture with his large-format camera." The results look almost like landscape paintings... this one's my favorite.

Morning mini-rant: It seems to me that if you write an article about parenting and keep talking about how "fathers" can help "mothers," and link that article to a page on your website titled "Help for Fathers," it's great that you see parenting in mixed-gender partnerships as a team sport BUT you really can't claim -- in a footnote! -- that you "acknowledge the diversity of families" because you suggest that "at any point ‘partner’ and ‘she’ can be substituted" for "father" and "he." →Read more...

Everything is a Remix takes on the plot and visual influences in The Matrix I especially liked the connections with the speech by Philip K. Dick. The Wachowskis probably never saw that speech but definitely borrowed more than a few tropes from his stories.

We find a striking concentration of attention on Twitter ---roughly 50% of tweets consumed are generated by just 20K elite users

Personally, I tend to use Twitter as a read-only medium since I'm too shy to push thoughts under my own name out into the general internets.

MetaChat Creative Power, Activate! I'm planning an event for this month which will feature many classic Surrealist games (like found poetry, exquisite corpse, and Cubomania). But everything is pretty much 2D, and I'd like to include a 3D art form. Do you have any good ideas for a way to have a drop-in table where people can do Surrealist sculpture?
