Ozge Samanaci: ART!
Yesterday I went to a wonderfully stimulating and lively talk/discussion by Berkeley professor Greg Niemeyer about the internet as an oral medium; I'm still processing it and won't do it the injustice of trying to summarize it here. A happy side benefit, however, was that I met Ozge Samanaci for the second time (the first time was at a lecture by recent MacArthur prize winner Camille Utterback a few weeks ago), and this time I managed to write her name down correctly and find her website, Ordinary Things (ordinarycomics.com) and I like it! She has a daily webcomic journal of water color collage drawings, and they're lovely and unique and thought-provoking.
I also particularly like this one and this one, but the website is very much worth a long deep visit.

Thanks for the fantasticness, Saheli-kins. I like this webcomic you were kind enough to introduce us to, but I like whimsy, so I'm easy that way. :)

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoy your blog. Long time reader/follower - first time commenter :)
I was just discussing the topic of the internet with my friend arguing what is classified as "news" or "journalism" nowadays vy the mainstream media is slowly but surely being replaced with investigative players like...bloggers!:)

japan rp - that's a pretty holistic view to hold but I tend to agree with you.
