don’tcha think

The only photo I took today at Windsor-Essex Change Camp. Which was a blast, a wealth of great ideas and passionate people AND I may have found a place to direct some of my volunteer energies that has nothing! whatsoever! to do with the arts community. At the end of a long week fraught with conflict in the world of artist-run, it was much welcome to hook up with the people who can get me a place at a different table, being part of a conversation about a community initiative that has long been only a passive interest. Stay tuned.
I’m going to write a post soon (soon, I mean it) about some of my upcoming summer projects both big and small, arty and dorky. Some of them are quite exciting! Others, maybe not. We shall see. But for now, here’s one new little project that Peter and I started this morning with the goal of making the world a better and less irritating place in a subtle but important way:
Removing misuses of the word “irony” from Wikipedia entries.
I created an account (This is not irony) and made my first edit before heading out the door for Change Camp: an entry on the Clash song “Train in Vain” (you might need to click through to the flickr photo and view full size to read it):
Not-irony free:
Definitely an improvement.
If anybody wants to help out with this project, let me know and I’ll send you the password. Because the gods know there’s a lot of not-at-all-ironic stuff going on out there, giving real irony a bad name.
