Misprint Thursday at Bistro Olive-Art Show
Misprint Thursday in her zany kinetic sculpture part of a show titled Olive Art!
Ride a cyber olive, check out the brightly colored canvases and interactive kinetic installation and have a bite to eat at the newly opened Bistro Olive on Marco Island. Misprint Thursday, a Virtual Arts Alliance member and regular participant in the VAA haiku speedbuilds-has an art exhibit that is a twist on the theme of olives! The artist states: "When I was approached to show at Bistro Olive, I wanted to do something fun and colorful".
The grand opening/art opening included wonderful live music from acoustic guitar player CQ Bravin as well as a great turn out of many music and arts enthusiasts. If you would like to exhibit at Bistro Olive please contact Kimala Kohime at Bistro Olive.

Universcale
written by Cyanide Seelowe
Universcale, a Nikon-sponsored web-based flash animation, is a fantastic comparison of size on a universal scale.
Universal, you say? That's right. This graph goes beyond mere flea-to-dog-to-human size comparisons and reaches out into the universe for both massive and minescule sizes. The scale ranges from lightyears and moves all the way back to the femtometer (1/1,000,000,000 of a micrometer) and will give you a short, educational "story" behind the measurements, creatures, items and monuments throughout at the click of a button.
If you've ever wondered how big a snowflake is compared to Jupiter, or how big a giraffe is compared to the Milky Way, Universcale will definitely give you a better perspective of these size comparisons.
The world in which we live, the universe that comprises our world. In order to better understand them, humans have assigned to them the concept of "size" so they may be comprehended by all. Nevertheless, there are actually very few things that we can see with our eyes or touch with our hands. Our curiosity brings us to use objects visible to the naked eye as yardsticks to identify those things invisible and give them new units of measurement. We are now capable of comparing and ranking these entities. We have, in fact, been given an "infinite yardstick".
By setting things up against this yardstick, observing and comparing them are we able to accurately identify their true forms. They are silent when merely observed, but spring to life when put to use in unique, creative ways.
One thing we know for certain is that they are all around us in our close vicinity.
Universcale.
