  Hello, Grant has been working on the BubbleSites...

  Hello, Grant has been working on the BubbleSites for months now – and he’s keen to see the fruits of his hard work out there on the ‘Internets’. So today we’re taking the wrap off the BubbleSites and making it generally available. The thinking behind the BubbleSites is to provide you with a very clean, simple personal gallery website. Your BubbleSite is free of anyone else’s branding or artwork, and you control the content. The BubbleSites are one small step towards our vision for RedBubble. We can’t possibly hope to do everything for everyone with one website, so we’re looking to make RedBubble more flexible. We want to allow people to use RedBubble in different ways. Some folks want to use RedBubble as a place to send their customers. With the current website your customers land on a profile page, but there’s lots of distractions. BubbleSites provide a much more focused experience, for those who want it. We’re still doing lots of work on the BubbleSites, so expect to see more changes in the near future. In particular we’re working right now on giving people the ability to change the background color. If you’ve got any feedback or suggestions please wander over to the feedback forum and type away. This week we’ve also made some small changes elsewhere on RB. Images in challenges are no longer cropped (our challenge software is currently under beta testing – see here for a few example challenges). For those with a technical mind we’ve embedded hidden copyright information into every large image displayed on RedBubble – this means that if somone downloads a large image off RedBubble it can always be traced back to you. By default we’ve inserted your name and profile URL into each image, but you can change this on your edit profile page (down towards the bottom of the screen). That’s it for this week – thanks Grant for all your hard work! Here’s a picture of the man (and my favorite Grant t-shirt): Cheers, Peter

• Macabre...Know What it is?

  Main Entry: ma·ca·bre / Pronunciation: (m-käbr, m-käb, -käbr) / Function: adjective / Etymology: French, from (danse) macabre dance of death, from Middle French (danse de) Macabré / 1 : having death as a subject : comprising or including a personalized representation of death / 2 : dwelling on the gruesome / 3 : tending to produce horror in a beholder / synonym see GHASTLY Any horror fans here? Yea…me neither? But, I do have a fondness for darkside images. Why? I don’t know. I have an entire list of dark image ideas I’ve jotted down over the last year. They just pop into my head. Why do I bring it up? Because it’s still photography. Unlike nature, structures, wildlife etc, the horror and macabre field takes some planning. I think that’s why I find them so rewarding. You have to envision a final image and make it happen, from start to finish. There are almost always going to be some type of props involved to portray the visual aspect of horror. But not always I guess? Why all this babble? Because like I said, I’m a fan of the photography side. So I’ve a few images to post that touch on the subject. I’ll mark each one as being sensitive (or whatever the check box is for adult content). But that may not stop you from seeing them. So…if you don’t to care to see some possibly disturbing images, you may not want to watch me anymore. The images will be tagged with the words this journal are tagged with. I’m not trying to chase anyone away, I just want everyone to know that it’s not all about HDR, humor and happy faces with me. Thanks for looking, reading and responding to all I’ve had to offer so far. If I get a big “we don’t want to see it” response, maybe I’ll hold off? We’ll see….

  I stood right on the mountain top / Where the clouds meet the sky I could not turn back / So I stopped and thought / Of all that had passed me by Transfixed and stunned / I did not move / And felt my end was nigh Then took a deep breath / I Stepped off the ledge / And I began to fly © Copyright – Suzanne German – 2007

  ... which is rather odd considering a bubble has no end but Sunday 20th of January was the host day for a crowd from Brisbane (that’s in Queensland) and a crowd from Melbourne (that’s in Victoria) to meet in a park to talk about the sickness and affliction of being addicted and totals slaves to… god … a website… In fact, I would never meet anyone from an internet community (particularly this one) they are all sick and crazy. None of them have lives of substance so they pretend that they are only there to ‘sell their art’ and ‘publicise’ their work… Codswhallop I say… They are strangely geeky and nerdy bunch of personality slanted individuals who all know far less about people than they do about how to use a forum. Yet still seek an ‘alternative’ form of popularity in an outlandish and attention seeking (though strangely semi-anonymous) manner in order to attain the seventh ether of internet evolution… validation… They carry camera’s everywhere cause they find pleasure in making other people think that they ‘might’ be someone of celebrity importance such as a ‘national geographic’ reporter, a newspaper or tabloid photograper. They make incredible amounts of food so they can seem overly generous and make everyone else feel inadequate because they turned up with their own, not to be shared kebab and buddy bottle of caffinated cola. The most full on thing about this insidious and elusive personality is that if you meet them, you feel obligated and indebted to add them to your watchlist (disclaimer: I really do want you there, I am just trying to improve my satire :-) )... but… at the end of the gritty meety thingy majiggy… there is still a feeling of something warm (other than the stinking humidity) and grand… people came from long distances and overcame incredible odds to act this way to each other… like an invisible thread was saying, you gotta learn from this… you got off your ass and made it there to help someone else’s validation a bit more magical… I really like validation… it’s liberating… Of course this is just my view, see other people’s perspective’s of redbubble meetups by following the labyrinth of links below… BRISVEGAS / Melissa’s perspective / Helen’s perspective / Steven’s perspective MELBORING / Jo’s perspective / Adrian’s perspective 1 / Adrian’s perspective 2 / Paul’s perspective / Mark’s Perspective

• The Room At The End Of The Hall

  Have you ever had that tightness in your chest…the anxiety…....the jumpiness and you ….just knew something was there but you couldn’t see it…? You were terrified that if you turned around, or look in the mirror….....it would be close enough to touch you? What you felt was most likely exactly what you were afraid it was….... We’ve all wondered just what the heck they are…..are they spirits of dead people…are they evil….were they ever human…so much we just don’t know…But let me tell you something…............... When my son was younger…...he had trouble staying asleep at night..He’d appear by my bedside and I’d scoop him up, take him back upstairs, tuck him in, and sleepily walk back to my room….......This went on for months…...I didn’t turn on the lights because I didn’t want to stimulate him further in hopes that this time he’d stay asleep…....One night, late into the night…..I’d finished tucking him in and was making my way out of his door and into the hall…and I heard a noise…..you know how you hear something quick and unexpectedly and can’t quite figure out what it was? I really thought it was the sound of someone groaning…....my husband was on a business trip, so here I was, at about 1 AM in my pj’s upstairs in a 5 bedroom house and I hear a groan….........well, that’s just great….I think, now what? Well, I’m not an easily frightened person, and I have a 6 year old to protect…..so….I closed my son’s bedroom door…............and stepped into the hall…............and listened…..........................there was a sound coming from the farthest room over the garage….....the bonus room we used as an office…...........Ok…..........it sounded like rustling, you know like, corderoy pants swishing together? But so faint I wasn’t sure….......The hall had never looked longer….....or darker…......but, I didn’t want to illuminate me and give it a target…...........I slowly ….........quietly ….....tiptoed down the hall….....I could see that the bonus room was lighter than the hall. There was a street lamp just outside the window ….........I finally,got to the door and carefullly looked in …....prepared to dash back down the hall and lock myself and my son inside his room, if a burgler were in that room….............The room was colder than it should have been…...and as I got close enough to look around, I realized that I could feel the hair on my arms and back of my neck stand up….....only the greater fear that something might hurt my son kept me glued to the spot….all the while I could hear something that sounded like whispers, but from everywhere at once…..It seemed even colder…....and I felt disoriented, my heart hurt it was pounding so hard. I could see most of the room from where I was standing, and I could tell that the closet door was partially opened….not much was in there, a couple of coats..but now it seemed that it had a deeper shadow, just in front of it…I couldn’t take my eyes off that shadow…that just didn’t seem….right ….The sound roaring in my ears could have been the blood rushing in my ears…...I felt…..I knew that someone, or something was with me…...close enough to touch me….........and…..... it did ... I screamed and spun…..............to find my 6 year old was now in front of me…..that was the hand I felt…...... I never found anything in that room….the cold was gone…the closet empty except the two coats…....the noises now just those of Katydids singing in the trees outside…...I picked my little sweetie up and carried him to my room and we both slept the rest of the night!!

  In the year 2007 the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in England, and said: “Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans.” He gave Noah the CAD drawings, saying: “You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.” Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard, but no Ark. “Noah!” He roared, “I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?” “Forgive me, Lord,” begged Noah, “but things have changed. I needed Building Regulations Approval and I’ve been arguing with the Fire Brigade about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbours claim that I should have obtained planning permission for building the Ark in my garden because it is development of the site, even though in my view it is a temporary structure. We had to then go to appeal to the Secretary of State for a decision. Then the Department of Transport demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark’s move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it. Getting the wood was another problem. All the decent trees have Tree Preservation Orders on them and we live in a Site of Special Scientific Interest set up in order to protect the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls – but no go! When I started gathering the animals, the RSPCA sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then the County Council, the Environment Agency and the Rivers Authority ruled that I couldn’t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood. I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Equal Opportunities Commission on how many disabled carpenter’s I’m supposed to hire for my building team. The trades unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I have to hire only accredited workers with Ark-building experience. To make matters worse, Customs and Excise seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark.” Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, “You mean you’re not going to destroy the world?” “No,” said the Lord. “The British government beat me to it.”

  Not everybody knows that I have been home awhile nursing a lower back injury back to health. It seems I have been successful and will actually return to work next week after having had almost three weeks to just rest, go to physical therapy and hang out at the bubble. This site has matured and grown and developed a personality of it’s own, a fun place suited to my tastes and pastimes. / I have met and gotten to know so many people in the last month, all of whom in their own way are an inspiration to me. When I do go back to work, I will miss having the time to do right by you all, who have taken the time to come by and spend time with me. If I miss something, do not be too shy to knock on my bubble, I will come by and take the trouble…

  Today I arose to disaster. I won’t bore you with the details, but it’s a complete mess. / A lot of you know a little of my cheerful adoration for disaster. / Some of you reading this know a little about the mess I’m talking about. Some think you do, and some couldn’t care less. They say that having a fantail (or Piwakawaka,) come into your home is a sign of things coming together. / Sometimes it signifies death, sometimes birth. / When I got up, I had two fantails fighting in my dining room this morning. I suffered death on this day, a long long time ago. / This is a day of memorial for a lot of people close to me. / Closer to the surface, today is a beautiful day. / Today I know where I am and where I want to be. / The clouds have opened, and I’m going to go out and get a tan. They say that the ultimate fertiliser for the forest is fire. / Burn it to the ground, and it comes back twice as strong – it just takes a while. I feel good about being alive today and I will play in the ashes of all I have burnt. / I want to get as filthy as I can, so I can wash the gray scum from my body. My eyes feel like I’ve been crying for hours on end, bawling into my chest – but I haven’t. / It’s just the phantom pain of a lost limb. / I feel an emotional appendage, severed from my body, though still very much attached in my mind. Oh boy, is it itchy. / I think this itch is going to be my saviour today, and I will roll it around in my mouth and savour every second. / That ethereal itch is going to be the fire-blanket I’ll throw over the ache of loss. Ironic, isn’t it? Loss is a concept. / It is not tangible. / It is not real. / Nothing is ever lost, it just changes shape. / The things we thought we had, once lost, become a tangible lack. / Sometimes they won’t just fuck off and set fire to themselves like we wish. I set fire to someone today. / Not ‘today’, per-say – it was another day with a similar bunch of numbers for a name. Today I will paint myself with their ashes so as to hide the true colour of my gaunt face, reminding me of the fire I tried in vain to light last night. Ok, so – time to cosy up next to a raging brushfire of pain and loss, and scratch the itch of a phantom limb. / The smoke’s going to get in my eyes, and tears are going to well up. The tears won’t fall. They’ll become part of the caked up detritus that hides my feeling of deep lacking Sweet as.

• School ends!

  So yes, school is over! I finally got my grades today, and I passed all my subjects! Hooray for me! =D Summer holiday can finally star…

  So yes, school is over! I finally got my grades today, and I passed all my subjects! Hooray for me! =D Summer holiday can finally start. Well it already started Monday, but I’ve been sick since then and have spent most of my time in bed. Seems I have a viral infection on my throat (which is extremely sore) and an infection on my jaw (the parts near the ear, where it connects to the skull… yeah I hadn’t heard of this before). I can barely hear through my ears, my nose is absolutely stuffed (and my skin there is all painful because I need to keep cleaning my nose, ewww), leading to a constant headache, as well as a very annoying cough. Oh, and I don’t have enough iron in my body so I need to take pills for that as well. Wheeee. =P So yeah, I was hoping to be drawing already by now, but I really can’t get my body (and mind) to do any of that stuff. All I seem to be able to do is sleep (and even then I keep waking up all the time) and just sit around doing nothing. Sorry! Hopefully I can come back into action soon!
