The Internet was Broken

I can't even tell you what this week was about. It's all a blur and I woke up this morning stunned and surprised to find it's Saturday. Other than 10 straight days of rain here in the Northeast, there were odd things that happened to cause productivity here at ArtLOOK to grind to a halt.

  1. SBC global/Yahoo DSL has been going through some sort of bizarreness causing outages and "partial outages"...partial outages??
  2. My clients using AOL (please people...upgrade to the real Internet already) suffered through an email glitch which caused their emails, both incoming and outgoing, to be stuck in cue for days.
  3. Attempts at blog sitting at Blogger were thwarted when Blogger went down.

I finally smartened up and realized that sometimes it is just best to get away from the computer (and technology in general) because everything I tried to do wasn't going to work anyway. Clearly the situations which caused the shut down of my continually running MAC had to have been extreme. I concluded the Internet was broken.

    - Audrey Heard, Art On Groton Bank

  • "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."

    - Matt Holmes, The Art Guide

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
