? Adium gives up to iChat with foul results.
turns out he was on adium all along. oh well!!!

See, what we did is (ATGS [A-Team-Gesture-Style]!) we had phil hookup his RTSC Transmogrifier (seen here) to auto mips11 the chat signal with his Ham Radio (seen here.) from english into swedish. then, midway across the atlantic, we employed Adium's proprietary language translater on my enigma machine (seen here) which would then reconvert it to english and decode the ?OTR slipcryp code (using this) back into chat-type speak.

Quite simple, really.
Obviously it went wrong somewhere, though.


Karl Fortess: Island Dock Yard, 1934

Island Dock Yard, 1934
Karl Fortess, Born: Antwerp, Belgium 1907 Died: Woodstock, New York 1993
oil on canvas 32 1/4 x 48 1/8 in. (81.8 x 122.2 cm.)
Smithsonian American Art Museum
Transfer from the U.S. Department of Labor 1964.1.94

Trains, trucks, and industrial buildings were what Karl Fortess envisioned when the Public Works of Art Project suggested that he depict “the American Scene.” The artist left his home in the picturesque artists’ colony of Woodstock, New York, and traveled ten miles to Kingston to make this painting. Kingston had long been a thriving Hudson River port town that supplied Pennsylvania coal and local brick, stone, and cement to New York City. The Depression slowed shipping, but a newly invented concrete mixture stimulated the local cement business. Fortess’s pictorial research at Kingston was demanding, as he noted, “Inclement weather and bad roads have made it impossible to go into Kingston as often as necessary.”

Fortess described his painting as “a view of the Kingston Point railway yard, showing track intersections, [a] station, freight trains, . . . shacks, and [a] background of buildings with a suggestion of a plain and barren winter trees [on] a grey day.” The artist emphasized the angular geometry of the structures. He played the predominant shadowy gray colors against spots of intense red, yellow, and blue. Trucks and trains hurry to and fro, but the action proceeds without the presence of a single visible human figure.

Scrap House New Orleans

Image by Daniel Horande Photography
Artist Sally Heller designed this sculpture, built entirely out of found and recycled material, and dedicated it to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. A ruined shack that resembles Dorothy’s house blown off-track sits in a tree constructed from pieces of oil drums. Inside, a light shines for those seeking to return home. It’s a powerful piece of work that sits in an appropriate setting – across from the Convention Center, where so many refugees were displaced in the aftermath of the Storm.
