Can I put my cell in your column?

We are not big fans of Excel, or mostly anything that Microsoft creates, but it only takes a creative mind to make art in one of the most boring applications ever made. Microsoft Excel art, Shazaam!

The Magic Garden's - South Philly

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is a folk art environment, gallery space, and nonprofit organization that showcases the work of mosaicist Isaiah Zagar. Located at the site of Zagar's largest public mosaic installation, the Magic Gardens includes a fully mosaiced indoor gallery and a massive outdoor labyrinthine mosaic sculpture. The installation, primarily consisting of found objects and contributions from the community, covers half a city block with myriads of tile, texture, and color. A walk through the labyrinth will reveal sculptures from Latin America and Asia, bicycle wheels from local South Street shop Via Bicycles, Zagar's hand-made tiles, and mirrors of every shape and size.

There will be a Mosaic Workshop with Isaiah Zagar this weekend!

Learn Isaiah's techniques, and help him build a public mural from start to finish, in this two-day mosaic mural workshop. Visit: www.phillymagicgardens.org/programs.php for more information.

In the year 93?

In many respects 1993 seems like a short time ago but on further thought it was almost 17 years ago now. Rendering us without a cell phone, computer, internet, and GPS amongst many other technological marvels we take for granted. Check out these great ads from the year of 93' from AT&T. Crazy how accurate they were since we currently have most of what they predicted.
