Haven’t posted enough art stuff recently… Skippy has some nice information about Gustav Klimt’s portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. And, along those lines, if you are in NYC, there are two wonderful exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that are very much worth visiting. Viewed the Girodet last weekend and it was pretty amazing, especially Endymion Asleep. And, the Treasures of the Mayan Kings has just opened as well.
Also at Skippy, one stop shopping to get your activist mojo rising for Net Neutrality. Save the Internet! Hit the links and write/call/email your duly elected Representatives in Congress.
