Embracing Process- Minden Summary

The closing of a show inevitably brings questions. "How did it go? What next?"

 They are questions I also ask myself.

I don’t always have clear answers, but I can say in the four chapters of Voices at Hand I’ve never not been pleased with the outcome. It’s hard to argue with the stats: 1609 letters in Peterborough in the spring 2010; 724 more in Toronto last October; an additional 507 in Picton this past summer and 413 new letters last month in Minden for a total of 3,253 in the whole collection. I’ve also added four new categories during the Minden residency to make 51 in all.      

The irony of the volume of materials I now have to store is not lost on me. I still blame CBC!

Mark Zuckerberg and Me - Day 7- Minden

Earlier this week I commented on a friend’s Facebook posting of a link to a CNN newsclip. You’ll freak when you see the new Facebook is a short piece featuring Mark Zuckerberg’s summary of the soon to be sprung upon us Timeline.

I watched the piece and quickly responded:“Ick.”

My friend who happened to be online at the time fired back: “Luddite”.

Back to me, I wrote: “Is that the best you can do?”

...deleted it and finished with: “Cyberbully.”
