Friday July 6th, 2018 03:15 Art Masquerading As Media

Do love me some Le Tour via the Moving Picture provider.

It is like having your very own guided trip round France and its environs, from the back of a motorcycle, or out of a helicopter. Coverage is most excellent, even if the timezone is not, into Nouvelle Zélande

It can even translate into something a little bit special. Like the image below, which I snapped when the satellite went eclectic, and the pixels went into hyperdrive.

Love it. It has that Je ne sais quoi about it.

Art Masquerading As Media, indeed!

[Mc-Cawe-some-ness]

 

Noun

Meaning – It seems appropriate to explain the concept behind this personally-created term. It is fair to say the credit is due, reflective of my own new media excursions. And, after all, it has proven enough to adorn this web portal over the long haul.

The concept reflects the all-round exceptional attributes of the now-retired All Blacks Captain and Legend, Richard (Richie) Hugh McCaw, whose on-the-field play over his glittering 148 Rugby Test career nearly sets him entirely apart from the rest.

He would retire after raising the William Webb Ellis trophy in back-to-back Rugby World Cups in 2011 and 2015, captaining and leading from the front in both. This is an amazing feat on its own terms, but when you consider the national side’s record at this event, post the success of 1987, and especially 2007, when he would learn many painful lessons leading the side, his mammoth effort only grows.

This is an ode to that time and his place. Legendary.

Therefore, this term is anything that arouses, Awesomeness, or expresses that flourishing location, thereof, and especially when anchored through any afflictions of suffering, trial, trepidation, or challenge.

Monday December 24th, 2012 00:58 Words Worth Resounding # 13

If we only view the worth of our on-line work as being directly related to the dollars and cents it acquires or the personal satisfaction of our moment, what will give it worth when the money runs out and when our time expires? Seek to produce work that builds a legacy, echoes into the future, where people want to push repeat because it is perpetually worth their while!
