In Nashville for a couple of days for Human Again at Mosaic in Nashville:

Ok, so I have finally gotten a few of the new paintings photographed and uploaded. The apples are a triptych with green on the left (Tav), Green/Red in the middle (Aleph) and Red on the right (Aleph-Tav). I re-uploaded the portrait to give it a little more accuracy in color.

A couple of people have also asked me about posting paintings in progress, so I have made a new gallery for those. The one of Paul I am still working on the torso, but the head is mostly done, and the ascension one still some work to go on the figure as well as lots to go on the environment.

Here is my deal with this….If we leave it at the Church following and understanding culture instead of the church CREATING culture we will always be behind the curve. Post freakin Modernism is more than 20 years old now. There is a new age of interconnectivity which reaches beyond the paradigm of reactionary relativism. There is a new understanding of the subjective that is in relationship to the mass of other subjectives around you. Notice this is NOT the objective…NONE of these are necessarily true or objective, but rather a collection of the subjective.

Many folks will mistake this for “collective” truth, or the objective, but it is not. It is more like the Borg.

Hope this rant made a little sense.

I have been painting a good bit recently, and i have completed a series of three apples. Also started an ascension painting (which is the first one in over ten years). I will get around to posting images soon.

OK, being a long time Joomla/mambo enthusiast it took me a while to get this one down and understand how Joomla 1.5 handles the parameters for Written By, Date Written, etc.

Joomla 1.5 thinks about these parameters a couple fo different ways:

1. Go to Article Manager and then go to Parameters on the toolbar (top right) Set these paramters to what you prefer. (This is the equivalent to the Global settings in previous versions)

2. J1.5 also builds links in the menu manager with defaults for certain types of links. For example, if you build a menu item that is a blog type, it will auto build the menu itemto show written by, etc. Therefore, select the item, then set the parameters on that item as well. This is also true of teh default Front Page link. therefore, go into the menu manager and edit the paramters for the Home Page menu item and you can then hide the Written By on the Front Page as well.

The Front page was teh one that originally really stumped me, so home this helps others.
