We are more than two months into Art Scatter. Sixty generations of fruit flies have come and gone. One bad knee was replaced by a superior robotic product. We’ve mustered 55 total posts. Our most popular ones have dealt with the Sherwood middle-school theater controversy, Ornette Coleman, graphic non-fiction books, the firing of Deborah Jowitt and getting old. (At least according to our powerful online analysis tool, which is inconsistent enough to make us wonder about its overall accuracy, powerful or not.) So, yes, we think we’re doing our fair share of broadband scattering. It’s fun!

So what are we complaining about? We want more comments! Smart people are visiting, smarter than we are, we know, because the comments they DO leave are so good. We encourage you to leave a trace! What would convince you? Open threads from time to time for your general comments and observations? A question of the week? Let us know by clicking artscatterpdx@gmail.com in the column to your right. What’s on your mind? Remember, more scatter is good scatter.

What else? There’s some dance in our future, for sure, maybe some late-in-the-month gallery hopping, too. But mostly, we are feeling transitional in an evolutionary sort of way, mutational even. There are rumors of war and new software from WordPress. Our tech-head web-man, Nathan, is working on it. (He’s also the star of a feature film that promises to be a big hit in Puerto Rico — long story.) The continents are speeding toward each other at warp drive, yearning to tangle in one supercontinent yet again, and we’re along for the ride…
