Artists Poisoning Themselves

Hunter's Point has been a huge artists' studio site for years. Built on a former naval installation, it has recently been condemned for toxicity and the fate of the artists has been up in the air for years. A former studio artist, who moved away to avoid the toxicity, just received this email (sic) from "The Point."

I'd love to do an artists gatherine but I should point out that we are not suppposed to eat outdoors at the Point anymore according toe Arc Econoloy at one of the meetings I went to. There is a certain amount of ytoxic dust around and it's one thing to breathe it in and anothe to actually inbgest it.

p-ardon my misspellings...something is wrong with this comp0uter

Piazza San Marco

 I found a drawing I made when I was 19 sitting in the Piazza San Marco. And now I've made a painting of that famous Cathedral.

Write for more information.

Intelligent Design Isn't About Art

I recently sent my son-in-law this link to a New York Times article about the possibility that everything on our planet (perhaps in our universe) is merely the computer simulation of an advanced civilization with all its implications of Intelligent Design.

Our Lives, Controlled From Some Guy’s Couch
By John Tierney August 14, 2007

Until I talked to Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, it never occurred to me that our universe might be somebody else’s hobby. I hadn’t imagined that the omniscient, omnipotent creator of the heavens and earth could be an advanced version of a guy who spends his weekends building model railroads or overseeing video-game worlds like the Sims.

Rusty Reno (aka R.R. Reno) is a Christian theologian, author and Features Editor of First Things, a Catholic intellectual journal. (His wife, my daugher, is a seriously conservative almost Orthodox Jew!)

Rusty responded to the article by saying: "Thanks for the article. This is the most plausible explanation I've had to date about the behavior of our teenagers, Jesse and Rachel."

Rusty gave me a great laugh and, more importantly, an excuse to publish pictures of Rachel and Jesse, 18 and 16 respectively.
