The Mayan's New Beginning 21 December 2012

I do not buy all the Western built hype and fear regarding the year 2012. The Mayan Long Count calendar began in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.

"It's a special anniversary of creation," said David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin. "The Maya never said the world is going to end, they never said anything bad would happen necessarily, they're just recording this future anniversary on Monument Six."

This apocalypse is "a very Western, Christian" concept projected onto the Maya, perhaps because Western myths are "exhausted."

It remains focused on the subject while being interesting and dynamic. The juxtaposition of color, sound and movement kept me focused on the beauty, creativity, and complexity of the production. I hope that you to find the same enjoyment as I.

After surgery on Friday, I spent my day on Saturday recovering. It has been a rainy weekend and all I have been able to do is look out the window or stand at the door. Needless to say it as been a very boring weekend. So boring that Saturday evening I decided to be productive and give my website a face-lift.

To view gonzo photo, well you know what to do here. This is my first time to use thickbox, a JS application, that was very easy to install and configure. So, let me know what you like or don't like, all comments are welcomed.

Well, it is late in the afternoon Sunday and I am going over to Bolsa's anniversary celebration. I feel like I am living in Seattle with all this rain.

As you all may know (or not), I am a member of the inter.sect Art Collective. We are a group of artists who use new media platforms to explore digital exhibition spaces outside the traditional gallery model. Recent projects involve visual translations of text via mobile phones, which have exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art, the Dallas Contemporary, and at Pocket Films at the George Pompidou Centre in Paris.
