Artists find inspiration in video games
Video gamers have long considered some of the titles that have stolen the hours, weeks and even months of their lives to be high art. In the past few years, some artists and art and design schools have begun to agree. The byproduct is an interesting marriage of traditional disciplines, such as painting and classical music, with the cutting-edge world of gaming. Some 30 years after the introduction of video games into mainstream culture, their content and images have reached museums, rarified concert halls, other public spaces and even art books. Exhibit No. 1 is the ongoing show by Parsons the New School for Design, "The Sims: In the Hands of Artists," which features student works inspired by the popular PC game in which players create and manage the lives of one or more virtual characters.

In the final dual meet of the regular season, the coaches for both Cabrillo and St. Joseph swim teams were pleased with the performances of their teams. The Cabrillo girls squad defeated St. Joseph 104-72, while the Cabrillo boys breezed past the under manned St. Joseph team, 115-37. “I'm pretty happy with today," said St. Joseph coach Jennifer Best. “It was a big improvement over last year against Cabrillo." “We had half our team missing because of band and choir," said Cabrillo girls coach Scott Alvarez. “Everybody pretty much got to pick their events." That included a swimmer who competed in an event she never raced before. “Sarah Ur won the 100 breaststroke," explained Alvarez. “That's the first time she ever swam it.
I ask: Does technology make you happy?
We're happy when it works and love it when we dare try something new that also works. But we're frustrated and hate our technology when it doesn't work. I think about this while waiting for my daughter's karate class to finish, and decide to ask some other waiting parent friends how they feel about technology. One of the moms laughs and answers that she hates computers and uses hers for little besides e-mail. I ask another parent who grins and says, "It's great. I've got so many gadgets. ... " He begins to enumerate his collection of tech toys, one after another, until class is over and it's time to bring my daughter home. I know he loves technology and has little trouble figuring out how to use it. On the way home, I ask my daughter, "Does technology make you happy?" She thinks for a moment and responds, "No.

Downtown Conroe Hosts the 4th Annual Gullo Conroe Kidzfest ...
Where can a kid find a whole lot of fun and games in a safe and friendly environment? At the 4th annual Gullo Conroe KidzFest, which returns to Downtown Conroe on the weekend of April 21 and 22, 2007. The best part is that the event offers free admission to all kids in Montgomery County; and while they toss a ball with a local athlete or participate in a safe and fun science experiment, parents get the opportunity to keep the kids safe by updating immunizations and having them fingerprinted by the Conroe Police Department. KidzFest has become one of the favorite annual events in Montgomery County in recent years -- and one of the best. "We start planning villages earlier every year," says Karen Ladyman, one of the event's organizers. "As a result, the villages each have a lot more activities, with better layout and planning.
