RIGHT BRAINERS
Vacation time! This week, we leave behind the daunting task of documenting creative developments on the Web to take a virtual vacation, of sorts.

Right Brainers
ART & TECHNOLOGY

Here are fun sites
to visit, some of which might appear to have little to do with art, technology, or creativity... But then again, the act of combining and recombining things in new and unusual ways -- seeing things in ways that are new to us -- is a tried-and-true method to enhanced creativity. So take a break, have some fun with these right brainers.

               

Here's an even nine
to give you something new to think about; art, poetry, creative prose, sculpture, tasty insect recipes, and even some smilies :-)

Need I say it? Have fun!

All work and no play...
is a real left brain thing to do -- not very creative, and even less fun. If you would like to drop me note about this feature, creativity, or just about anything at all, then I'd love to hear from you. Next week, back to work...

    Thanks to all -- you know who you are -- for sending these and more interesting Web sites to A&T this past week.
 
Would you like to see your work in Zn?
