Chicago based artist-hacker Furtherfield Blog has been running since 2006 as a shared space for personal reflections on media art practice: making it, curating it, translating it.
This is a place for informal, day to day exchange between people; for intuitive exploration of how they work; to make connections and to learn, without any pressure to formulate complete ideas, theories or arguments, or to come up with answers. Bloggers explore their own perspectives on their own terms: personal thoughts, emotional responses and critical intentions that are rarely publicly discussed elsewhere in such detail. If you think your blogging belongs in this stream get in touch.

I remember now – John and I watched the ongoing news coverage on TV, and the anchor (Pat Singleterry, Channel 9) was a hoot – he kept telling stories of people being rushed to the hospital because their gasoline generators were inside, and reminding people that their gas stoves WOULD NOT function the same because their pilot sparks were electric, and the electric was still out.
