I'm Stacy Reed, welcome to my corner of the blogosphere! In the folders below, you'll find galleries of my artwork. I dabble in a bit of everything. I also post things that amuse and interest me, such as videos about art, articles about science and Internet memes... Oh yeah, and once a month I post a picture of my messy desk.
Just wanted to start spreading the news... I finally purchased a domain name for the Librarian Chick wiki! Please bookmark www.librarianchick.com and share it on your favorite social networking sites! Librarian Chick now contains nearly 400 free resources with new additions posted multiple times weekly. If you want to know when new resources are listed, just subscribe to the RSS feed.
Also, I added FOSSwiki as a subdomain, so it can now be found at foss.librarianchick.com. Both of these wikis are still hosted by PBwiki for the time being, but soon I hope to be hosting Librarian Chick on our own server. FOSSwiki will likely stay put for a while longer though. I'm currently adding links to the developer's home pages for each title on the main page , so please be patient while these updates are being made.
Had a little touch up work done... here's how it came out. I twisted at a bit of an angle which is why it doesn't look as symmetrical at the top. But yeah, it rocks even if my mother-in-law does think it's too big ;)
This is an amazing story of a young man who is gifted with a facility for mathematics problems, sequence memory, and natural language learning. (Wikipedia) The following clip is just part one of 5 of the Brittish documentary.
Thank you, Jon, for sending this my way!

Also, you really must check out the Ted Talks if you haven't already.
Below is a movie, Johnny Got His Gun, that was based on the book by the same title by Dalton Trumbo. The book was previously banned in the US, but it is definitely a mandatory read (or watch) in this day and age. This classic movie is a chilling, haunting, yet thought-provoking tale of a young man who goes off to war and lives through a horrifying blast that leaves him completely dismembered. He is kept alive by doctors and machines though he is also deaf, mute and blind. It is very graphic - not intended for small children. I saw this movie for the first time when I was about 15 and it made quite the impression though I didn't pick up much of the symbolism the first time around. It's more than an anti-war statement, it's about existence, humanity/inhumanity, medical science, religion and the dichotomy that lies in the lengths to which we will go through to save a single life while in the midst of killing thousands.
Ok, it's disturbing, yes, but it's also beautiful, so watch it all the way through. Those eyeless kermies spook me out on the same deep-seated level as my fear of clowns!
