It’s been a while, coming and going, etc.

All the while I wasn’t blogging, two journalists have started blogging and one journalists with a blog is no longer a journalists. Let me start with the latter: Marc Geelhoed, who wrote for Time Out Chicago, has joined the dark side and we now have two Marcs with a Dutch last name working at the CSO.

The first two are Andrew Patner, who’s now blogging at The View from Here, and Catalina Maria Johnson, who is bilingually blogging at Beat Latino. Be sure to tune in to All Things Considered tonight, to hear a report from Catalina on an amazing workshop with “Ainadamar” artists Jeremy Flower and Gonzalo Grau for Chicago students. For Chicagoans, this report can also be heard locally on Eight-forty-Eight at 8 p.m. tonight.

Yesterday, I saw a familiar language on Sequenza21 in an article on Marco Antonio Mazzini. I thought I’d be nice and do a quick-and-dirty translation. A little while later, the artist actually e-mailed to thank me for the translation. How about that for online communities? Want more on arts organizations and new media? Go over to Jason Heath’s Arts Addict and watch this video.

Drew McManus over at Adaptistration has a wonderful five-part series on new media. I’m gathering all kinds of information to do my own multiple installment series on arts and communication. All I need to do is just commit to it, but this little game has occupied a lot of my online time lately. But also, this little project.
