children of bob

At the last Shenanigan’s Club meeting Xiann’s partner Jim was nice enough to show me Omeka. Omeka is a web-publishing platform similar to WordPress but aimed at scholars and academics. Since I am neither a scholar nor an academic I decided to post my chicken collection.

To start I only have put up four items, mostly because I’m unsure of the where-abouts of my digital camera and iPhone pictures were difficult for small items. The only potential use of this site I can think of is if someone wants to give me a chicken related gift they can determine whether or not I already have that item. Though hopefully displaying bottles of Rex-Golaith Wine and Fighting Cock Whiskey will not discourage people from duplicate purchases of those items.

Anyway, may I present Wonderchook’s Museum of Chicken Memorabilia

On semi-random Sundays, xiann, k8 and I get together for “creative time,” during which we work on to creating stuff. Previous projects have included robot paintings, a peeps diorama and even this website. Here’s a look at what we did tonight:

k8 made a “Personal Map,” which is sort of a map of what the world looks like in her mind.

It’s super cute. See her website for a rockin’ description.

xiann updated her sticky comics website and worked on an awesome Star Trek-themed comic that will be released later this week.

And I (sheribomb) worked on this hand-painted belt buckle.

I also updated my random haiku/project blog with a new illustrated haiku.

Next projects may include a PSA on why dropping out of high school isn’t the worst decision you could make and a Rube Goldberg machine to destroy the aforementioned peeps diorama.
