From the Man Who Put the Sun in the Tate...

In December of 2007, I saw an Olafur Eliasson exhibit with my buddy Rand at SFMOMA. It's quite an experience to see his work in person. Like most great art, you can't really describe how it makes you feel or why it makes you feel. There's some invigorating aura it gives off. And a lot his stuff is really weird, like a black room with a light pointing at a board that makes waves.

I know a lot of New Yorkers think it's pretty stupid, but I think they're going to love his "Waterfalls". They are slated to be installed in mid-July and will be there until sometime in October. Here's an article from Bloomberg.

Not Sure This Counts As a Revolution

This is Newt Gingrich's American Solutions "Platform of the American People - A Red, White & Blue Revolution". It's a so-called tri-partisan plan for America, that includes issues on which a majority of Americans, including Democrats, Independents and Republicans agree. McCain seems to be following some of the recommendations...

RIP George Carlin

Carlin died over the weekend. He would have preferred that his death be described as such, and not "passing away", a euphemism he abhorred. He was a genius and a master of the English language. One of his most famous bits is "Baseball versus Football". It's an absolute classic.

Oh, the Great Lizard!

These snorklers would make Bear Grylls proud, after being swept away to a desolate island near Bali and having to fight off a monstrous Komodo dragon. This is from My Way News -

"Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizards, can grow up to 10 feet long. Attacks on humans are rare, but with its shark-like serrated teeth the Komodo's bite can be deadly. Their saliva is poisonous, with dozens of species of bacteria, so if a wound is not cleaned properly septicemia sets in within days."
The story reminds me of a haiku I wrote to accompany my 9th grade biology paper on the Komodo Dragon -

Oh, the great lizard
Its large jaws are open wide
Time to say goodbye
