Google, with Gmail, has responded in a way to this phenomenon by creating <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-in-labs-stop-sending-mail-you-later.html">mail goggles</a> which asks you a series of questions to determine whether or not you are in a sound state of mind, before sending an email.<br /><br />My response is to create this blog, posting embroidered diary entries on a regular basis. While the posting of the image is nearly instantaneous, the act of physically creating the object is much slower than typing or even handwriting an entry. This forces me to think very carefully about what to include -- how long do I feel like doing this today? Do my hands hurt? What is really important to convey, and what are the shortest/easiest to embroider words I can use for it? Maybe I'm feeling verbose, should I talk about that conversation I had involving hallucinations? Or am I too exhausted to embroider the words "conversation" and "hallucination?" I do not write the entries beforehand.<br /><br />In addition I consider the "art piece" displayed to be the digital image and not the actual embroidered object. The reason for this will become apparent as the project continues. It pays to click on the link that takes you to Flickr as there are notes in the photograph that may or may not be enjoyable and which contribute to the overall piece.<br /><br />Comments, feedback and critique much appreciated!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3174952623179315452-5359509361225349716?l=embloggery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04192252038188277118noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174952623179315452.post-49457928789640528712008-03-26T14:14:00.000-07:002009-03-26T14:21:06.456-07:00"Embloggery" is a blog in which each post is hand-embroidered, freehand, with no prior planning or sketching. <br /><br />If you mouse over the images you will discover links hidden within the text which point to clues as to the post's meaning -- or sometimes completely change it. I revel in making each post a puzzle. <br /><br />If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3174952623179315452-4945792878964052871?l=embloggery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04192252038188277118noreply@blogger.com0
