Wikitravel:Plunge forward
Being a traveller requires courage, self-confidence and perseverance. Being a Wikitraveller requires the same qualities. We expect you to plunge forward into the task of authoring, editing, and illustrating articles on Wikitravel, in much the same spirit as Wikipedia encourages editors to “be bold”. You can edit any article on Wikitravel, and we hope that you do. We need your...

the 'famous' Dr Hansen
Dr Hansen himself is part of a huge Mormon investment to scientifically prove the Book of Mormon. Having exhausted all possibilities in America as being the site where events from the book could have unfolded, they are now throwing money into a sad attempt to prove that the Mayan civilisations were in fact built by the long sought-after lot tribe of Israelites who brought pyramid building...

How to Become a Starving Artist
Keep your work in your studio, just in case a gallery calls. This is especially important if you’re an emerging artist! Don’t participate in open studios, smaller community art center shows or coffee shop exhibitions; it’s better to keep your work safely hidden in your studio so that when a REAL gallery calls, you’re ready. Be especially sure to say no to shows where sales are not...

Connecting new ideas and information with your...
The human mind learns by connecting new ideas and information with your existing memories and experience.

People frequently ask Ben and myself questions like, “Which schools use Processing?” and “What are people doing with Processing?” A few years ago, I felt like I knew where and why the software was being used, but now, because the software has spread more widely, I don’t have a complete (or...
