EXCEL ART: 17 Awesome Drawings Made With Microsoft Excel
OPS_admin | Mar 19, 2010 | Comments 0
To most of us, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets looks like an endless field of rows and columns. But artist Danielle Aubert sees more than empty cells waiting for data input and equations.
Aubert uses Excel as a drawing tool, ‘changing cell preferences for background color, fill pattern, and border styles and from time to time inserting “comment” boxes and letters or words,’ the artist explains.
Aubert created three series of Excel Drawings. Every day or so she would create a new worksheet. The 16-day series she published as a book; the 58-day series she set up as a multi-page spreadsheet and rendered it for the Web; and the 4.5-month series she made into a time-lapse video. All three can be viewed on her website, DanielleAubert.com.
Check out her Excel Art in the slideshow below.

If we don't change our ways soon...
A new report by the Royal Society, chaired by Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston warns that world population must be stabilized and consumption in wealthy nations must be reduced or the entire planet is in big trouble. As the report reads: "The number of people living on the planet has never been higher, their levels of consumption are unprecedented and vast changes are taking place in the environment. We can choose to rebalance the use of resources to a more egalitarian pattern of consumption... or we can choose to do nothing and to drift into a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills leading to a more unequal and inhospitable future."This is the same warning that President Jimmy Carter gave Americans back in the 1970's - but it was ignored when Ronald Reagan came to power with a "more positive" message basically telling Americans we can do whatever we want. And then after 9/11 - Bush told us all we should go shopping and consume ever more.And now with corporations calling the shots in Washington - long-term sustainability of the planet takes a back seat to short-term profits. If we don't change our ways soon - and embrace clean, alternative energy and educate women around the plant - then we all could be headed for a rough century.-Thom(Is there any chance we will learn in time?

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
