Jet Li on the need for hospitals that can withstand disasters
It’s not really art, but a well-known actor and martial artist who is making an appeal to the world — build hospitals that will not lose the ability to function when natural disasters strike.

Dan Bull pens a catchy open letter to Lily Allen
The name’s familiar, but I can’t quite place her. I gather she’s another performer who’s been recruited to browbeat music fans who share. I love Bull’s response. It’s great that “Lily” rhymes with “Silly!”

Natural Magic
Riding through the mountains on the way back from vacation, I had this idea for posting a picture of the scenery I was enjoying. I actually didn’t think I could do this with Photogene (an iPhone photo editing app), but I was delighted to be wrong!

So long, and thanks for all the liches
Dungeons and Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax moved to the Astral Plane yesterday. I think it safe to say that millions of gamers mourn his loss. His Tolkien-inspired paper role-playing game inspired books, movies, television shows, visual art pieces and songs. Uncounted games, be they card games, console, PC, table-top and other paper RPG’s, are direct descendents of D&D. Mr. Gygax, I wish I’d said thanks.
SO LONG, AND THANKS FOR All THE LICHES (AND THE WISHES)

Artistic Blogging Options Just Get Better
If you’re a Tablet PC owner, you probably aren’t satisfied with just using a keyboard to do the expression thing, nor should you be. As you can see, Tableteers don’t even have to blog like everyone else. There are a couple of tools out there that make it easy for the Penabled set to use our pens/styli to get our points (no pun intended) across, and one of them, Mark (Sumocat) Sumimoto’s Build 52, has recently been updated.
And while we’re on the topic of artistic expression, I highly recommend Mark’s blog. He discusses a variety of topics and actually has the penmanship skills to pull off a nice-looking Ink Blog, while I obviously need more practice.
