New Blog Location Over at the Tumbler

Pretty sure the t should be lowercase, but really, who's checking? So I'm following the hipsters over to tumblr . "Why?" you ask? "Why not?" I ask back. Easy of use and the ability to reach and be followed by more readers are the biggest reasons. Here's the link . Hope to see you there. And here's the link again in case you missed the other two .

If/Then

Tonight (Friday, January 30, 2015) is the opening of the Berkshire Museum's If/Then exhibition. I'll be attending in with my lovely wife Wendi and our super-duper son, Jake. I'm thinking sport coat, white oxford and jeans. Here's a clip from the official press release that explains what If/Then is all about: [PITTSFIELD, MA] – The new exhibition If/Then opens Saturday, January 24, 2015, at the Berkshire Museum, and will be on view through Sunday, May 3. Visitors to If/Then will enter a topsy-turvy world of experience, where senses rule.

If/Then was conceived and created by Peter Garlington, a Berkshire-based designer, and Craig Langlois, Berkshire Museum’s education and public program manager.

Go all “YOU SHALL NOT PASS (my lips)” to soft drinks. Learn all the lyrics to the songs I always try to sing during my morning and evening commutes. Record myself singing along to those songs and add them to my web site (www.matusic.com). Write in my Q&A a Day every evening. I skipped the final 95% of 2014. Shame on me.  Follow that up with some sudoku or reading. A big juicy brain like this doesn’t maintain itself, people. Help Wendi get her craft and blogging beeswax of the ground and on to your computer screens. Speak at TEDXAlbany. Home improvement projects. That deck isn’t going to build itself. And the shed won’t demolish itself. Well it will eventually if we leave it up long enough. Set the zombie books aside and read some of the modern classics I’ve be...

#inktober

So there's this thing and it's called #inktober. And #inktober is all about getting back to basics with ink and paper. The only need for technology is to show your work on the social media sites. At least that's what I think it's about. Here's a graveyard's worth of my #inktober drawings up to this point. One more inky week to go.

Prepping for Halloween with the first in a series of monsters quoting The Smiths. I don't know. It just seemed to make sense. Stay spooky my friends.

Workspiration Interview

My first interview since Jake asked me a dozen or so questions to confirm my worthiness of being inducted as a member of a secret club whose name I can't recall. Really nice to be included on a site surrounded by so many big name creatives. http://workspiration.org Enjoy.
