sometimes technology can produce beautiful art just takes the right eye to see it.
Had a chat with a Co-worker about what is art and isn't. He's a firm beliver that "computer" generated art is not real art. I believe that art is simply a term to define something that provokes a reaction from you. Good, bad, large small, theatre, movie, painting, comix, stories, it doesn't mater. It is art. If it doesn't get a reaction from you it may still be art, but for you it has failed at its purpose. Some find 3 bars of color to be somehow thought provoking. I do not. Doesn't mean its not art, just means it is aimed to segment of the populace that somehow gets a reaction from it (be it... a small segment of the populace)
I watched this small video of rendered lines of light that are built from the flight paths of planes. I thought it was very beautifull.
Would I put it on the wall... No.
Do I concider this art... Yes.
No real point here, just expressing a feeling (or trying to)

Run hammster run
At times you do what you have to for your children.
On July 22, 2007, during severe flooding, Hammond left his Porsche 911 - in which he had been stuck in traffic for 13 hours - to run home for his daughter's birthday. He ran 16 miles (26 km) in two-and-a-half hours (from 3am to 5:30 am), arriving home before his daughter woke up.
Full thing here
Their silly, their funny, but those simple blokes really are some the best guys out there.

Amendum to "beautiful"
Was doing some poking around and ran across this. you'll know the part where my mouth dragged on the floor.
Armstrong died of a heart attack on July 6, 1971, at age 69,[35] 11 months after playing a famous show at the Waldorf-Astoria's Empire Room. Shortly before his death he stated, "I think I had a beautiful life. I didn't wish for anything that I couldn't get and I got pretty near everything I wanted because I worked for it."[36] He was residing in Corona, Queens, New York City, at the time of his death. He was interred in Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, in Queens, New York City.
His honorary pallbearers included Governor Rockefeller, Mayor Lindsay, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Guy Lombardo, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Pearl Bailey, Count Basie, Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, Earl Wilson, Alan King, Johnny Carson, David Frost, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett and Bobby Hackett. Peggy Lee, one of Armstrong's favorite vocalists, sang The Lord's Prayer at the services
The mighty Satchmo can still floor me, and this time without even singin a word.
