Had a fairly productive week working on my dissertation<\/a>, and am now off to Belfast for a self-proclaimed long weekend – to celebrate Sid<\/a>‘s 2nd birthday, Nicole and my 6-year wedding anniversary, and my own birthday (all of these in the span of 2 weeks)! We’ve never been up to Northern Ireland, and I have no idea what my better 2\/3rds has planned, but it should be just grand. Will try to post some photos of that, and my folks’ recent visit to Dublin for Sid’s b-day (on her blog<\/a>), when we’re back.<\/p>\n

In the meanwhile… a proposal I’ve written with California-based artist and friend Scott Kildall<\/a> (if you don’t know his work, you should definitely check it out<\/a>; he’s an innovative and generous voice in the digi-arts community, and much of his work is not only smart but also beautiful) has been voted into the final round for a rhizome<\/a> commission: Wikipedia Art<\/a>. If you’re a member of rhizome<\/a>, please take the time to rank the top 25 – and by all means, if you like ours (I’m biased, but I think you will), we’d really appreciate your rating it tops!
