technolope was part of another art showing last night. Good times were had all around as the party rolled from gallery to bar and onward.

Art, and art.
Pictures of a recent exhibition at the Hirshhorn gallery of art made using only a single piece of paper. As
says, incredibly creative stuff here. And then there’s LOLcats:

Not entirely bad
It’s been a pretty good couple of days.Spent the weekend out in the catskills with technolope, capital_l, multiplexer, ect, mcniadh, aerospcgrl, and
Nichole, whose LJ handle I do not knowfire_starter_. Ostensibly, it was an “art” weekend. Many of the participants practiced their artistic hobbies … which included everything from painting to chainmail making. For my part, the closest I got to art was in playing my cello and practicing my forms (hey, I’m a ‘martial artist’, right?). Still, I walked into it with a goal of getting some quality, undistracted, thinking done … and I certainly did that.
Compassion, compassion, compassion. It really all comes down to acting with compassion.Had a funny experience at work today – I think I was stuck in the mud and not as open as I could be to a new and nifty technology. My colleague cariaso suggested a very innovative way to use content tags on a wiki instead of making up a web based database of some sort. My initial reaction was to pooh-pooh it … but as we wrangled the idea around … it’s actually very clever. If you’re trying to manage a small to moderate number of very free-form documents … with a small number of pieces of metadata which might be consistent across them … some clever scripting on a wiki can do it for you. Turns out that this is almost exactly the case when you’re dealing with a small lab that needs to keep track of experiments. here is kinda what I’m talking about.
