At the beginning of the year, I submitted my first drive project to the RHIZOME community for inclusion in their archive called Art Base.
I am very proud to announce that they have accepted the 2005 DRIVE PROJECT

See the Drive Project link at RHIZOME here:

ARTBASE

Rhizome is an online community of digital art people. This includes performances, installations, net art and the likes. It is a cool place to be. I was turned on to it years ago by my friend Curt Cloninger. Curt is an "unofficial" net art historian and "offical" net artist. You can see his projects at Playdamage and Deep Young Etherial

I have been friends with Curt for many years and I love the guy.

It is that time of year again, time for your submissions to the SXSW (South by South West) Interactive web awards. This is a great conference with amazing representation from the interactive community. I was in attendance last year and my project was a finalist in the "Art" Category Drive Project :: 2005. I was honored to be a finalist. It seemed impossible to win against major agencies none the less encouraging to know I was up there with heavy hitters. FINALISTS 2006

This year you should submit your stuff. SXSW Web Awards Entry Form. It is only $25 and needs to be done by December 15, 2006. Get on with your bad self!

Also, another thing to add is that this years web awards ceremony will be hosted by ZeFrank. This is a good thing. Last years show was kind of a bummer. Lots of hype and little fireworks. Z should add the right amount of humor to the mix since he has a clue about the internet.
