These thoughts, sights, sounds are really pleasing; everything makes me take a slow look.

It takes quite a bit of courage for an artist to share work this way, but I hope you'll have some good conversations because of it.

Something I wonder if you've considered is allowing publishing via an Atom feed. It's one of the choices in the settings. I'd like that because then I can see your posts in my blogreader.

Thanks I'm really enjoying your work.

kaunda,

Thanks for the comment. I hope that you will share this blog with anyone who you think would enjoy it. I am new to blogging and I don't really know what the atom feed is, but my settings said that the atom feed is:

Hi Kevin,

It's quite possible that when I tried to subscribe to your blog via Bloglines that there was some technical snafu. It worked well today.

I ran across a line in post by about indigenous knowledge by Guido Sohne: "In a connected world, indigenous knowledge is the extent to which one is connected to other people."

Sorry, I haven't figured out how to put links into blog comments yet.

Anyway I think the idea of connections to people is really profound and that blogs and other many-to-many media amplify our ablity to connect.

The trouble is that all these connections can be rather daunting. I'm so dumb about computer things, but I've found del.icio.us which is a handy place for keeping and ordering bookmarks online useful. I also find Bloglines great for reading blogs. It allows a person to read their blogs rather like email. Here are my Bloglines subscriptions http://www.bloglines.com/public/kaunda
If you're interested you can go back from there to see about using Bloglines.

LOL most of the politcal blogs I read aren't there, I guess just as a matter of habit I access them via bookmarks.

On my list are a couple of blogs I want to point out: One is "We Make Money Not Art" very cool and you'll like it if you don't know about it already. The other is DesignShare. I don't know whether this will interest you or not. It's an archeitetural firm which designs new schools. I think you might be interested in the intersection of art/design and education.

Finally I think it's cool that you have a Blogger blog--you may have a My Space, MSN Spaces, Yahoo 360, or some other blog too--but a Blogger blog is more likely to attract random hits, even old men like me.

Do you have a site counter? Sitemeter is free and very useful. You can click on the button on my blog or PingTing's blog to get one--or Google sitemeter. The cool thing is then you can see where your readers are. I figured when I started my blog that my friends would read it. Most don't and I wonder who all the people from all over the world are who do?
