In the news today: Patriot Act Suppresses News Of Challenge to Patriot Act. It's like we're living in a game of Nomic.
This seems like a good time to join in a coordinated Googlebomb: Republican National Convention RNC Protests

CapedMaskedandArmed is well worth a look. I especially liked Street Jams (a collection of political street art) and A Study in American Nationalism.

Brooklyn Museum
04/18/04
The Brooklyn Museum unveiled its new entranceway over the weekend. This could become a great public space, but it would have more of a chance if there were other things (restaurants, a movie theater, shopping) to bring people to the area. Like much about the Brooklyn Museum, it feels slightly shabby and slightly unfinished.
Meanwhile, over at Prospect Park, people really seem to be getting into this spring thing.

Navy Yardish, by night

Fort Greene/Navy Yard, Brooklyn
While taking the last photo, I apparently annoyed a watchdog in a vacant lot. After a few minutes of loud barking, a modern-day snake charmer, complete with a scraggly beard and a hat that's about as close to a turban as you can find on Canal Street, emerged from a nearby building with a flute and gently quieted the dog by playing a tune that wafted down the empty street. This is why I love New York.

A generous friend snagged me an invite to the opening reception for Subway Style: Architecture and Design in the New York City Subway. It's at the UBS Art Gallery, 1285 Sixth Avenue, through June 18, and well worth a (free) visit. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 8-6.
