Challenge Grant for No on 8

https://secure.ga4.org/01/3million?source=connexion



That's the URL to hit to take advantage of a $100,000 challenge grant made by Tim Gill, founder of GLBT social networking site Connexion, to donate to the campaign against Proposition 8. Mr. Gill will match contributions up to $100,000 made before midnight tonight.



It's urgent that we raise as much money as possible in these last few hours of Friday so we can counter the other side's extremely well-funded (primarily from out of state) last minute advertising blitz designed to take my right to be married to the person I love away from me, as well as the same right of all my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.



Please help if you can!

Another test post

Giving this another shot. Sorry RSS readers, for the empty, meaningless posts! Hopefully this solution will work.

Here's the requisite photo:



That's it!

Test post

Sorry readers, I'm testing a blog software app for my phone and it requires that I make a post or two to see what's going on. So, here's a picture:





That should be a BSOD from yesterday's Teleprompter fiasco in the studio.

K. That's all for now.

Lighthouse

While watching an old episode of Murder She Wrote, I played with
Brushes some more.

It really does please me just how much like wet acrylics this
application feels. I know that I'm just rubbing my finger on the glass
surface of the phone, but I can almost feel the liquid smear on the
illustration board.

Brushes or ArtRage (which I talked about in a post about a year ago)
or any of the "natural media" simulation programs can really help
someone cultivate their artistic skillset. If you've never painted,
picking one of these up (ArtRage starter edition is free for both mac
and PC at http:\\www.ambientdesign.com, and brushes for the iPhone is
on sale at the app store for a while for 99 cents I think) would be a
great way to try it out without having to invest in paint, canvas,
cleaners, etc. Plus, there's no mess to clean up, and no brightly
colored flecks on your fingers that no matter how hard you scrub just
won't go away!

Give it a try. And if you do, let me know! I'd love to see what you do.

Commuter Humor

I had to go downtown on Saturday and forgot that this weekend had the
Love Fest going on in the Civic Center.

Looks like it was fun.
