2:14 pm-Midday-working on an icon. Listening to Bruce Sterling rant at SXSW. Interesting-he says a thing about blogs not making him cry and how art should be left to the artists because having everyone do it results in a huge amount of terrible folk art and only a few gems-sort of a corollary of Sturgeon’s Law where the percentages are much higher-99.999% rather than 90% (1 in 100,000)… Guess that means I need to improve my content-writing about my life isn’t enough. Maybe-but it takes energy to do that and that’s hard when you’re a parent and work-I barely have enough to keep my day together. I have a better chance with music and T’ai Chi-I’m a bit closer to the source-even better would be some meditation thing…GD?
Yesterday: Kids to school, play in Kindy, work, leave and get kids-Erika was at an employment thing for school. Put 7th grade laptops away, set up one, none of the printers had ink. Chatted with teachers, untangled kite line. Home, dinner, boys to bed. Dinner, TV-Criminal Minds, South Park, CSI-NY.
Today-kids to school, taught Tai Chi to the 7th graders, pulled out unneeded computers, set up a printer. Work, had lunch at Wingnuts with Erika-we had a coupon.
