BEAM ME UP
some chocolate

As I have mentioned on so many occasions, I love kitchen gadgets. But, with my recent move, I have realized that there are some specialized gadgets that serve no real purpose. I own a CoCoMotion.  Yep, it looks a little like a blender but it is more like a margarita machine in reverse…it makes hot chocolate.  And, while the value of having hot chocolate at the perfect temperature to prevent the scalding of your tongue is important.  There have to be limits. This next Call is an opportunity for you to show off your more useful technology skills.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Los Angeles Center for Digital Art (LACDA) for their 2012 International Juried Competition. The prize is the ultimate… a solo show, AND they will print the winner’s work FREE. What an excellent opportunity!
