Flutterby™! :

Emptying my pockets in between sessions at SIGGRAPH, I've got a bunch of URLs and art sites to update y'all with sometime this weekend or early next week. The one that comes out first is Jeremy Sutton's interactive portrait painting with Fractal Design's Painter class, http://www.portrayals.com/ I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I found talking with him and seeing the tail end of his speech interesting because he's solving many of the problems inherent with distance learning, not by trying to duplicate regular classroom situations, but by making the new medium do what it does well.
