Tangent: Pack Pamela’s
I’d admit this post has absolutely nothing to do with art. Unless you consider crepe-style chocolate chip banana pancakes to be an art. As you may know, Pittsburgh, home of EBSQ, was also home to the G20 this past week. And like other forums of this nature, Pittsburgh saw its share of protesters and just [...]

Remembering the USS Leopold
I’m taking some time out from art (and BBQs) to remember my Uncle Frank, not the easiest task since he died in 1944, several years before my mother was born. He was the youngest boy in a family of 6 children, and his family called him “Noonie” for reasons no one has ever explained to me. [...]

I’ve personally been on Twitter since February 2007. And not long thereafter, I saw the business implications for Twitter and started an official Twitter account for EBSQ as well in April of the same year. We didn’t use it terribly much at first, mostly just for sharing important site updates. But as Twitter became more [...]

When I go to add a new zine to the EBSQ database each month, it’s automatically given a number. This month’s zine is number 100. A fitting number given a decision we came to last month. We’ve been really focused on bringing fresh content daily via EBSQ’s blog. And the past few months especially, the [...]

Today is Blog Action Day and this year’s mission is Poverty. This is a cause that has been important to me pretty much my whole life. As a small child, I would listen to the missionaries that occasionally came to my grandmother’s parish and I would get so upset to know that there were kids who didn’t [...]

Yesterday, I attended a webinar that addressed best practices for community moderators. Since I’ve been doing community moderation for just under 8 years, so I was curious to see how EBSQ’s style of community management compared. Overall, I’d say pretty darn good. The community of regulars on the EBSQ Forums is pretty-darned harmonious. There are a [...]

Lisa Thornton Whittaker
Suddenly, without warning, EBSQ has entered its eighth year. We’ve gone from a small group of “art rebels” on eBay to a highly-creative global community. We’ve even developed quite a few traditions along the way. The image you see, at right, is testement to one of them. “The Debate” by Lisa Thornton Whittaker [...]

July was an absolutely crazy month with one crisis after another. We had chaos on the forums. We had chaos at home. My youngest child turned two. We all got the flu to varying degrees afterwards. I’ve been dealing with what has felt like non-stop migraines all month. It’s enough to make you want [...]
