This February Wikipedia is loving art at the Victoria and Albert museum here in London! A fun opportunity to finally make that contribution to everyone's favorite wiki and take part in a large scale free culture/open media event.

London Burning
I just posted this GIF on tumblr ... but it's just too beautiful not to post everywhere.

LM's Dynamic Web Links at lalBLOG!
In Lorna Mills' final class post she encouraged everybody to save all the links she posted throughout the term since the page wasn't going to last forever. This course has been a tremendous resource for me and I didn't want to lose these great examples of net art, "hacking" tutorials and web-building tools, and so I have taken it upon myself to do just that.
Now, I could have just as easily saved all the html files to my computer (which, in hindsight, seems like a much less obsessive or creepy option), but instead have opted for compiling all the links into an easily accessible four blog posts. I've post-dated them to the beginning of the month so as to not overtake the front page, and they've been given their own category tag, so they can easily be found.
See them all here.
Or
Comment on my inability to come up with my own original content here.

Changed the blog template. Pretty sure it's ug, but it will be more functional when it comes to posting massive images. Sweet.
And to celebrate:

1996
It's finally* been long enough since the 90s that they can be easily be identifiable by certain key features:
- Obnoxious homepages that are perpetually under construction with illegible text on busy tiled backgrounds, littered with counters and an inexplicably high number of "awards," and "hidden" Easter eggs.
- References to The Simpsons, Seinfeld, The X-Files, Pulp Fiction, Pam Anderson, etc.
- Excessive use of the word "Awesome."
- General excitement or optimism when it comes to the World Wide Web.
- Referring to the Internet as "the World Wide Web."
- Netscape
Jason's Awesome WWW Home Page!!!!
*This is the wrong choice of words, because I'm pretty sure these "features" were well known a few years back, but it sounds more dramatic and exciting than just "check out this crazy web page."
