EXCEL ART: 17 Awesome Drawings Made With Microsoft Excel

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.

      The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
     

    Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."
     
    What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.
