2007-10-17 18:56 Pecha Kucha
I've been asked to give an overview of my career in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Pecha Kucha Nights are being hosted around the world, and the basic idea is: show 20 slides of your work, spend no more than 20 seconds talking about each image, and then siddown and shaddup. This speed-talking forum was devised by Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein in response to self-indulgent oraters. If you're in Austin and want to see how I'll fare under the clock, visit Austin Pecha Kucha .

2007-10-16 23:25 Leeza in Astridland
Well, first of all Astrid has so many fabulous pieces in her online portfolio which, by the way, is broken down into five categories: adults, men, character development, children's and web/graphics it was hard, very hard, for me to choose one. So like, Dee, I broke the rules a bit and am posting three images which stood out the most to me and here's why. This one is from her adults illos. It immediately jumped out at me because of the perspective. It captured my attention right away. This seemed …

2007-10-10 20:05 An emblematic charter-school scam
I usually keep the log of charter school scams on a somewhat inconsistently updated page on www.pasasf.org. This story is such a clear demonstration of what can happen when schools are joyously freed from burdensome bureaucratic regulations that I'm posting it here, though. And it was our kids from whom the $12 million was looted, of course. (Yes, I know, this stuff can and does happen in regular schools and districts. But when we free schools from burdensome bureaucratic regulations, oversight, …

2007-10-08 17:15 Å, jag hittade något roligt på Facebook!
Kors i taket, ungefär, när jag nyss satt och tittade runt på Facebook hittade jag något roligt. Nämligen denna lista, som tydligen är ihopsatt av "vanliga människor" och som jag har klippt lite i då jag tagit bort sådant som jag inte tyckte var så roligt, eftersom det inte var sådant som jag kunde känna igen mig i. (För övrigt kan listan säkert innehålla grammatiska fel, men min engelska är inte tillräckligt bra för att upptäcka dessa vid en snabb genomläsning). You know you are from Sweden when …

2007-10-06 12:45 That irrepressible Pippi
Nice appreciation here for Pippi Longstocking and her creator, the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. (That new Lauren Child illustration captures Pippi's spirit and spunk almost perfectly.) Pippi Longstocking was one of my favorite books as a child, though I really hadn't thought much about it for years. Villa Villekulla, Mr. Nilsson, the horse on the porch - all of it is flooding back now. Nice memories. I think Maddie and I will have to start reading this wonderful book again as her bedtime stor …

Michele (3M) is hosting a By The Decades reading challenge for 2008. I didn't participate in the 2007 challenge, but I was hoping that there'd be another opportunity this upcoming year. The rules are simple: 1. Read a minimum of 8 books in 8 consecutive decades in ˜08. 2. Books published in the 2000 s do not count. 3. Titles may be cross-posted with any other challenge. 4. You may change your list at any time. Here is my tentative list. I know many of the books I'll be reading, I just don't know …

Assignment: Hansel and Gretel - Interior double or single page spread, from one of these following scences. Treat it as a possible portfolio piece, you can add text or not, it's up to you! "When at last they awoke, it was already dark night. Gretel began to cry and said: "How are we to get out of the forest now" But Hansel comforted her and said: "Just wait a little, until the moon has risen, and then we will soon find the way." And when the full moon had risen, Hansel took his little sister by …

So yea. Um. Plots a goin' on. Jilly and Smiley are officially together. Oakley doesn't know. They don't want him to know. Sal doesn't know either. J&S are worried he'd tell Oakley (but not on purpose). Also, Sal has been spending a lot of time with a new set of friends. Missy and Liam some days. Alistair on other days. Oakley and Jaisen are at the cute stage. Oakes is head over heels for Jai and Jai knows it. I'm not totally sure how he feels just yet. He likes Oakes, but he's still trying to fi …

TheWorldofJonah Forget ya Dannys, Justins, Willys, Olas, Darrens, and Mans-lets get down to business here. We're talking pop business. Real, deep and hard. Thats how DontStopthePop likes its pop singers. Mean, gritty and a Gucci bag full of love, laughter and giggles. The high pitched popBoys in this popworld come and go but rarely do they seem to please the towers of DontStopthePop. In short DSTP has grown tired of boy pop princes. They appear to be nothing more than pretenders to the throne as …

2007-09-25 11:46 This Week: Houses Along my Walk.
Recently Matilda had a fun blog post on her blog: houses! I thought that I would do the same and show you all some houses along my daily walk. So, why don't you come with me The pics are taken with my small, compact Sony. I did not feel like schlepping the big one along for this. Click on the images to enlarge. One of the buildings I pass along my walk is the local middle school. This is where the students start at 7:30 in the morning. And, yes, this is where Karolina will start 7:th grade next …

2007-09-20 11:47 Vimmerby, Astrid Lindgrens home town in Sweden!!
Just finished an exciting day here in the little city of Sweden. This is where the second most translated author in the world grew up, the amazing woman Astrid Lindgren. So far we have walked a little bit in her footsteps around in this small but beautiful city of Sweden, worked at kindergartens, elderly homes and participated in an environment conference which we have with youth around the area of Vimmerby. Now we are looking forward to our show day on Saturday where 100% of our proceeds go to …

Well, I wrote yesterday night, or was it early today, lol, that I had no freebies for you but I've played around with atomic cupcakes actions this morning so I have something small for you. Its a little tiny add-on to my Enjoy Life kit. Two bows and a sticker, thought you should stop eating so much cake and eat more fruit instead, lol. At least I should eat more fruit anyway, after all birthdaycakes... There is also a small freebie, two papers, that I used in a LO I've made. Roll down to "Nya id …

A pile of Astrid Lindgren from the library - I am so glad my son loves them as much as I do (I'm sure my daughter will follow suit when she's a bit bigger!). Ilon Wikland's illustrations are as much a feast to the eyes as they were as a child. Friday night film starts rolling once the little one hits the sack. (More Astrid Lindgren, Karlsson- on-the-Roof, was Karlsson really as selfish and annoying in the books as in the tv-series) Now the house is all quiet and I fancy returning to some Virgini …

Janet Maslin offers readers a pre-embargo peek at Pattie Boyd's Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me in her review in today's NY Times. The big question--What made the famous rock-and-roll muse leave her husband George Harrison for Eric Clapton--is fully explored in the book. Maslin writes "Her husbands' music is what made them unforgettable. But her side of the story, for all its slick packaging and hopeless platitudes, is worth hearing too." Here's a preview of the all-s …

Hey Freunde ich geb s ja zu, ich kann gut: Nichts Tun! So sieht es zumindest unten auf dem Video aus. Eigentlich denke ich aber nach. Für Kreativität braucht man eben eine Eingabe und die lässt manchmal auf sich warten.. Doch wenn was gemacht werden muss, dann muss man halt ran und kann nicht ewig rumtrödeln. Das ist jedenfalls meine Meinung. Meine OOs haben es aber mal wieder völlig verbockt. Oh man, ich sag Euch Freunde, diesmal waren die wirklich von der gaaaanz lahmen Truppe! Da schlaf ich j …
