Whew! I hate upgrades but this one went about as smooth as I could ask for.  I really wanted to get on the latest system so that I could begin a new design.  This one has been up for almost a year now and it is time to freshen it up a bit.  The upgrade included a new backend for folks that have blogs here, a related posts feature to make it easier to browse through the work and a Community News section in the sidebar.

Please let me know if anything is wonky or if you just have a suggestion.  Thanks!

Warhol and BasquiatThe reference above is to this image in case you do not know it.  I found this work on The Obama Art Report.  There are many to choose from but this one quickly stood out to me.  There are many works around the web dedicated to the elections.  If you know of any please share them with us in the comments below.

I have been a fan of these guys for a couple of years and the first project that I found was the LED Throwies.  Not only does their work rock, but the projects are also open source. (ie - they tell you how to make them, for the non-geek readers)
