Let’s not forget Grandma

Missing from the earlier posted Go Show excerpts was the segment “Grandma’s Grammatology.” Here’s Grandma, back to remedy that situation. (From the episode Goin’ Churchin’.)

A squirt from the past

I was trying to figure out what a unit of ketchup is called, and thought “dollop” was more for whipped cream, or any roux sauce (a little too French.)  Although squirt seems more appropriate for squeeze bottle ketchup, as opposed to the traditional glass container.  Nothing comes to mind from my own use of English.  Isn’t it “some ketchup”? Or “a little ketchup”?

Anyway, a new page for an old project, Playing Ketchup.

This didn’t test well

Was it because I was a black man? Was that the “it” that it made “it” invisible? Or was it because I brake for ideas? Whatever the reason, there were few chuckles in the back room of Freddy’s for this conceptual artist.

The Go Show was a collaboration with Maria Dumlao and Elaine Kaufmann. We made episodes themed on madness, art, religion and patriotism. Each thirty minute episode was broadcast on MNN and BCAT. We also collaboratively produced a blog for the show.

Bombs away

While researching the Edward Logue papers at Yale’s Manuscipts and Archives, I came across an architectural drawing (photographed above.)  The rendering shows the Newburgh Armory, as well as, inexplicably, a sketch of a bomb on the lower right corner.  That portion of the rendering suffered some water damage; coincidence or the toils of some material conflict?

In other news, I am in the process of putting online old video projects, and have started with my undergrad thesis here.
