That site includes a link to ActBlue, a Democratic group supporting Joe Wilson opponent Rob Miller (Miller and Wilson raised more than $1 million each in contributions in the days after the outburst). However, most single-serving sites are not designed with money in mind. Brooklyn, N.Y., artist Damon Zucconi launched SometimesRedSometimesBlue.com in 2007 as a "poetic gesture." The site summons a screen filled with color that drew Zucconi for its beauty and simplicity. The 23-year-old has been creating websites since 2006; he's now up to 18.

...happy coincidence of programming, two of New York City's biggest museums are looking back this fall on those exalted beginnings. "Kandinsky," at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, sends nearly 100 of the artist's works up the Guggenheim's spiral ramp like a whirlpool of angels in a Tiepolo ceiling.

Students will also have the opportunity to work with members Fierce Pussy, an artist collective who were heavily involved in the movement and whose work will be featured in the exhibition, sponsored by the Women’s Center of Harvard College. “They did action art in order to wake up the culture and the society at the time to the AIDS crisis and to other issues related to AIDS including gender identity, construction, and explorations of how art, gender and sexuality intersect,” says Susan Marine, director of the Women’s Center...
...entirely unexpected," laments Salima Hashmi, an artist, professor of art, and life long Lahori. "We can no longer say that it's just the northwest part of Pakistan. This is now also about Punjab, one surmises. A second chapter in the development of militancy in Pakistan has opened." More forcefully than ever before, the last ten days have raised urgency about the threat that Pakistan's heartlands face from within. "This is not something that we can blame on other forces," adds Hashmi. "It has been fostered by our internal politics and strategy...
