Last Sunday was my first time at Cafe Apamate. We shared delicious yogurt with strawberry and blueberry granola and Asturian honey. You had stewed green and yellow squash, onions, garlic, tomatoes & eggplant served over toasted bread & topped with a poached egg. And I had two eggs scrambled with chorizo or bacon served with patatas bravas and spicy aioli sauce. I think I like this place better than Ants Pants, but don't tell Steven this. He loves Ants Pants, but it s always so crowded.
Speaking of Pants, there was a pair of them on the sidewalk outside of Cafe Apamate. We both thought they looked funny there but boy was I surprised when you took my joke about spooning them literally. I'm glad I took this picture because it turned out pretty good. You are the perfect model and muse!
The Box account for ArcherFish is set up and live. Box is what powers the music widgets now seen in the sidebar of all pages. The widget is essentially just a folder on our Box account called "music". Any mp3 added to that folder show up in the music player widget.
We can use box to host all sorts of files, but for now its the music storage place. You can login with our same email address and password for the rest of the site.
along with the season of falling leaves come falling-in-love hearts. you'll see them afloat on air currents drifting in streams even landing right at left feet. you'll hear them on the wind in the gander's cries upon angelica's breath. you'll feel them in a hand held tight a pumpkins warm smile within a crisp night of slumber. you'll find them forming piles of love meant for both of us to jump into.
In order to collaborate, I had to set up a Blogger account. This required a Google account so I created an ArcherFish user there first. Now I am taking advantage of a very slick RapidWeaver plugin called RapidBlog. It allows me to synchronize the Blogger blog with RapidWeaver, so we can publish from either interface and automatically see the changes.
Basically all you need to do now is log into Blogger to create and edit posts. All that you need is an internet connection. I think there is even a way to send an email to your Blogger account to magically create a blog posting from your email body. Neat stuff and pretty painless.
Of course we can sit down and go over all the technical mumbo jumbo till it makes sense. But now we have our very own blog that can do just about anything!
Tyler School of Art is poised to create a major cultural shift at Temple University. Soon, the premier art school in the region will make its home in one of the nation's largest urban art centers. The presence of Tyler students and faculty in Philadelphia will enrich the residential student population and college atmosphere already blossoming on Temple University's Main Campus.
Unification of School Currently, the core Tyler curriculum is divided between two campuses, with 60% of enrolled Tyler students already attending classes on Temple Main Campus. All academic units will be united on one campus when fine arts and graphic design join art history, architecture, art, and art education on Main Campus.
Increased Space The new building will offer 40% more usable square footage than the Elkins Park facilities. At the same time, Tyler will maintain its intimate size through a highly selective recruitment process. Faculty and student artists will realize their potential in expanded, more contemporary spaces, affirming Tyler’s position as a preeminent art school.
Exhibitions and Galleries Space for presentation of exhibitions and artistic programs will increase to over 8,000 square feet, providing facilities to prepare and show forms of art in all media. The galleries will be featured on the ground floor to invite participation from the campus and surrounding communities.
Academic Spaces The new facility will include 160,000 square feet of teaching and learning space, providing students and faculty with top-quality studios and classrooms. The building will also include spaces for innovative large-scale and installation pieces and access to new methods for materials handling and ventilation.
The Future of Tyler Tyler will be at the center of a vibrant urban creative community, rich with opportunities for inspiration, exhibition, collaboration and cross-disciplinary connection. The new facility and the new location will help Tyler to compete more strongly for faculty, students, and national recognition against other top ranked schools of art.
Designed by architect Carlos Jimenez of Carlos Jimenez Studio in Houston, in collaboration with the Philadelphia based architecture firm, H2L2, the new building at 12th and Norris Streets will offer 40 percent more space than the School’s current facilities. Tyler students will have space to create large-scale works, access to state-of-the-art technology and greater ease in getting to museums and exhibitions. Read more on Carlos Jimenez in the Temple Times Article, "Architect Selected for Tyler Building" from January 2005.
The construction of its new $75 million building on the University’s Main Campus will have a positive impact on every aspect of Tyler’s mission and operation. The new facility will provide students and faculty with an outstanding environment in which to teach, learn and create—a self contained center for the visual arts that will improve on the conservatory atmosphere of the Elkins Park location.
Tyler has received $61.5 million in support for the new building from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and $7.1 million in revenues from a University bond issue. This means that each new gift to the facility is strongly leveraged, building on the commitments of the Commonwealth and University.
For Tyler to achieve its full potential as a top national art school, it needs private support. So consider making a commitment to support construction of this spectacular facility. Your gift will breathe life into a vibrant and innovative space that will ignite the minds of Tyler students and display the ingenuity of the Tyler faculty. A generous investment in the future of Tyler School of Art, Temple University, and the arts in Philadelphia will influence thousands of aspiring artists for generations to come. Learn more here.

I created a blog for you and I to collaborate on. We can both contribute and comment on any topic. It can also be a place to share the music and art we make together. There is an inspiration page where we can post images or mp3s that make us happy.
The sky is the limit on what the site can do. Now it is just up to you and I to do it fill it with beautiful things.
