hi all. i'm using my time here at workspace to work on my long-delayed thesis (and to blog on the workspace site, apparently). my academic area is public art studies. yes, that is the study of statues in parks and similar sorts of efforts. my thesis is about public art projects as done by cities and how internet components can be introduced into them, or even projects done by a city entirely on the internet. many city councils have written guidelines that are largely about putting tangible items in public spaces, but of course the web is a perfectly valid public medium if it can be defended to the city council.

I was in the mall in the summer (hey ... remember summer?), minding my own business and enjoying a coffee and a muffin in a cosy sit-down bakery, when a young woman and her friends sat down at the table next to me. As I took a bite of muffin, I caught sight of movement in my peripheral vision. Movement where there should have been no movement. Movement where a pendant necklace might hang, where a front-closure bra might close. With me?
I had to look. And there, between the chimichangas, was a chihuahua. A puppy, mind you, not full grown, but still .... I mean, doesn't anybody just keep handkerchiefs there any more?
Is it just me, or is anybody else worried about the number of "accessory dogs" that are going to end up in rescue shelters over the next while? And that's if they're lucky.

Tomorrow, the Workspace will of course dominate the world and here's how it'll look like...

There were many bodies huddled about the imac today all oogly-eyed over the new iphone.  We're probably 3/4 mac at WorkSpace, and anyone who isn't running a Mac gets hassled.  By the time August rolls around if anyone's left using a razor, it'll be hard times indeed.

The bathroom is back in action!

Well, we certainly brought  in the new year with a bang.  Nearly 300 people showed up at WorkSpace to get down with 07.  Yes we do have photos, but no you can't see them...they are incriminating.  Just ask lego-santa.  He was there.

Hi everyone,

This morning, I received an email from a Japanese friend of mine about the Chinese Zodiac. For those of you who are curious about how your 2007 would unfold, check out the following sites. According to him, 2007 is the Year of the Pig. hmm... Enjoy.
