Entries for an art contest at the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery - NOT!

These are pretty cool. There is an email going around the ‘net with a lot of attachments, that are claiming that they were entries in an art contest at the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery in DC .. with one rule: “The rule was that the artist could use only one sheet of paper” ..

Now, don’t get me wrong - that museum is a pretty cool place to visit .. but I think it is a publicity stunt by the author, where these and MORE pictures can be found at his website .. Peter Callesen. And, if that’s the case .. hopefully he won’t mind me replicating what was in the email for all to see his talent. And, if it wasn’t the artist promoting himself, well .. please take a few moments to browse Peter Callesen’s site afterwards .. he’s pretty cool!

The car pictured in this note is a Mercedes Maybach. Notice the ‘recliner’ rear seats, and the ‘electrostatic’ sunroof. The sunroof turns from opaque to crystal clear depending on the passengers preference. You can check their website and see more pictures and watch a few videos …

What Do You Think Of My New Template?

The upgrade to Wordpress version 2.3.3 is now complete. I have also upgraded this template as well .. to the new HART-Empire Network template.

I will miss the old 1-800-HART template, which (if anybody noticed) was Version 2, and I really liked the old header graphic. So - I shrunk it and placed in the top left “About” box as a momento :)

In case you were interested about the color scheme .. I have left PURPLE color theme for HART-Empire-Network.com and the BattlingForHealth.com series of blogs because purple is my favorite color. I have decided to use BROWN color on the AndYouWill.com series of blogs, but I have yet to update those subdomains as of yet. I wanted GREEN color thing for everything “HART” or “SINGER” related blogs - the colour of money - but, quite honestly my wife says the BLUE color looked better, and well .. since I asked which one she liked better and then she DID pick the BLUE one - … yup :) BLUE it is!
