Corrin in Portland, Oregon … - (USA)
Lisa Corrin, the Class of 1956 Director of the Williiams College Museum of Art came to The Portland Art Museum the evening of 30 July, 2009 (full disclosure – I am a member of that great class). The event , very well organized by Dan Root ‘87, was a reception for Ms Corrin and a talk by her: “The Art in the Williams Liberal Arts Education”. Well, who could stay away? I was one of about 10 Art History majors out of a class of 250. And we were, in those senior level classes, the private tutees

William Bouguereau (1825-1905) - (USA)
I know it isn’t abstract but I do think these paintings are beautiful, and as it’s his birthday here you go. “Each day I go to my studio full of joy; in the evening when obliged to stop because of darkness I can scarcely wait for the morning to come…My work is not only a pleasure, it has become a necessity. No matter how many other things I have in my life, ifI cannot give myself to my dear painting I am miserable.” –William Bouguereau “One has to seek Beauty and Truth, Sir! As I always say

Top 10 Day Trips From Los Angeles - (USA)
As the second-largest city in the country, Los Angeles is full of things to do. But for those days when a Los Angeleno needs a break from the hustle and bustle of this city of 9,800,000, there are plenty of intriguing places to visit just a few hours away from the City of Angels, ranging from the energetic adventure to the more relaxing break.

Happy Thanksgiving, Denver! - (USA)
In the spirit of the day, and in honor of Denver turning 150 years old this month, I'm thankful that I live in the city of Denver and that Denver is such a great city in which to live. I'm thankful that Denver is an optimistic, progressive city. Whether it is due to our perpetually sunny skies and gorgeous mountain backdrop, or our inferiority complex about not being good enough of a city (probably a combination of both), Denver constantly strives to become a better place. We've been blessed wi

13 More of the Worst Products for Men Ever Created - (USA)
One of AoM’s earliest and strangely most popular posts (people just pretend to like our serious stuff-they really want to know more about chest hair toupees) was a post we wrote called the 10 Worst Products for Men Ever Created. Since people had so much fun checking out the wacky products of yesteryear, we decided to look back into the archives to find some more hilarious and quite questionable inventions that were sold to men. The funny thing about these products is that most are advertised w

2,454 boring, unillustrated words about my PhD - (USA)
The great thing about having a blog that nobody reads is that I can write pretty much for myself. And as I need to start splurging and archiving and generally find out what I think for my PhD, I may as well attempt to do it publicly here. To start, then, with why I'm doing it in the first place – a question I don't ever stop asking myself, but rarely try to answer. 1: Architecture is more about the book than the building So why do a PhD at all? Firstly, I'm academically minded and as such, wa

Innovation & Inspiration for Musicians - (USA)
For every instrument, there could be 1 million great players out there in the world, but who is actually creating anything? I’m not a music critic, but it doesn’t take a professional to asses that we are obsessed with duplicating and replicating what has come before us rather than creating anything new. I’m a loud proponent of “stealing and incorporating,” but I think the incorporating part gets overlooked and then we’re left with just stealing. After all, stealing and incorporating is a grea
