Sidewalk Chalk? It's Illegal in Australia!

http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/24/kids-sidewalk-chalki.html

I read an article about the banning of sidewalk chalk in a cafe in Nunawading, Australia. After I read this I laughed because it's just ridiculous. If a parent is worried about their kid accidentally stumbling into traffic isn't it the parent's fault for not watching their child? To me, this is just a naive and unfair ban. This better not influence the U.S. to do the same because I would fight for kid's benefit.

Second Interview

Name: Troy Smith

Troy was my coach for four years while I was with Sagamore Rowing Association. He is still coaching in Oyster Bay, NY. He is originally from Lincoln, Nebraska. His first job was as a local paper boy. He went to the University of Nebraska where he majored in Fine Arts. I asked him a bunch of random questions to see what sort of answers I would get. So I asked him what his childhood dream was and he responded "to design video games." When he was little he was really into PacMan and Dig Dug, which is where his inspiration came from. He told me that his favorite memory was when he travelled through Turkey for 3 months. He said he enjoyed meeting up with old friends and learning about a different culture and trying to pick up the language. I asked him what are some of his interests and he said woodwork and his dogs. He has two dogs. He said he loves the two shows, Spartacus and Breaking Bad. He told me his favorite movie is "Shawshank Redemption." I figured he would pick a movie I had never heard of. His favorite quote is, "Never expect to find anything, if you haven't lost something." I'm not sure who said that, but i'm guessing he made it up. Troy is also living with his girlfriend, Debbie and their daughter Rose on Long Island.

State of the Art on Exhibition Design

Exhibition design is crucial for the artist in how they present their latest work. If the exhibition set design isn't appealing it won't grab the attention of the art goers. Top museums like the MoMA and Metropolitan believe that the artist's work cannot be presented without a planned design and setup. Each exhibition carries a certain flow from one piece to another, which is what gives the pieces exhibited a much better status. The MoMA recently had one of Andy Warhol’s exhibits displayed. It was his Pop Art collection of work and he had a more private exhibit held on the 6th floor. It was his film of a long and passionate kiss. You walk up and you enter down this long dark hallway and you enter the room where the film is played and it is projected on a big white wall. The way the hallway led up to the film helped to make the piece even more exciting to witness, which is why the art of set design and display are so important.

Dah! Excitement!

This made me extremely excited because they have found a new attachment for past photography methods that is made of plastic that can be used with a new camera. This makes me happy because now I can explore all the different kinds of methods there are without being constricted to the newer methods and techniques!
