Here goes. A blog post every day for 30 days. May 20 - April 18. Content to be determined. Length of posts to be determined.

Latest inspirations:

cool indie-art stores in downtown Toronto,
hip, Canadian graphic novels about hockey and rural-Ontario living,


long-term photo-art projects, like Back to the Future by Irina Werning,


and everything the Born Ruffians have ever done.

Woah.

Can someone please buy this for me, please?

It's a pencil crayon subscription. Each month for 20 months this company will send you 25 colours. By the end of that 25 months you will have collected 500 different coloured pencil crayons and spent a tonne of cash. And you will be able to colour absolutely anything in the perfect shade.

And you will be really happy because they all have names like these:

I'm off to do something in Whitehorse that doesn't involve my computer and the free internet.

More soon, Cass

I need to do more of this (as opposed to none).



Those little birds got into the brandy, by the way.

Today.

Blog needed some organization today. The list of blogs I follow keeps growing and growing. I decided to add categories to make things easier to keep track of. I think I like the new set-up.

I'm really glad I started writing here. Whenever I need a break from anything I can come here and feel completely refreshed. Writing out all of these things that usually swirl around in my head makes me feel much more focused and pulled-together. Also, I've found endless sources of inspiration in the blogging world and it's really nice to know that they are all in order here. Every time I open up this page I find something new and exciting.



Now that I've become more comfortable with html editing I know how to make the changes I want to make before I tell other people about this place. Today I figured out how to make a little icon for my blog tab. This why my personal style will show up on the tab as well and readers will be able to collect it for their bookmarks. The one I added today is not simplified enough to show up on such a small scale. I just clipped one of my favourite images from the title bar and used converted it to an icon file with this free converter: converticon.com. It's cute and worked well ad has a little Mac interface design. Then I uploaded it to this spot to make a direct link to the image: Image Boo Hosting. So, I'll work on the header and the icon over the next little while, but things are starting to come together!

O, and I almost forgot to mention, check out this collision of art and science:
