My daughter Katie made the following photo montage video on the occasion of my 50th birthday. The story is told starting from today and then going backwards like the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. You can view the video fullscreen by clicking on the rectangle with the rounded corners in the lower right hand side of the black video box.
Online Artist resources and communities
A terrific website packed with information and discussions on any kind of painting topic imaginable. I have found excellent information on oil color quality, pigmentation and luminosity. Those may not be issues which are of interest to you but Wetcanvas has this and much more on it.
Mercury Marauder.net . . . who says we have to grow up?
The Physics Forums
The History Forums
Trade & get books for less than $5. A wonderful resource to receive books for only $4.50. You list your books that you don't want anymore. In exchange you get points which you can redeem for other books which you want. You only pay the cost of shipping for the books you receive. When someone else wants a book you have listed for trade, you are sent an email which takes you to a URL where you print out on plain paper encrypted postage. So there is no cost to ship a book you are trading at all!
A friendly, informal and light-hearted online community where history fans, treasure hunters and travelers log their visits to historical markers and historic landmarks.
For one week out of each year artists setup a town in the middle of the dessert in Nevada. This site where they have produced a documentary of the Burning Man's history.
An interesting wiki community where you can go to research information and read articles that the community members have written. They call it a wiki. I joined this one after trying Facebook and Myspace which are simply social interaction type of sites and not what I sought in a community. You can see an article I wrote on self publishing on the AboutUs website by clicking this link.
Fun and Interesting things to do on the web
An addin for your browser what your interests are and then it randomly brings up sites that fit. It learns from you what you like and don't like. Actually quite a bit of unexpected fun to do.
