Points and Lines is a homegrown micro-blogging application I started in the Fall of 2010 to create, distribute, and archive bite-sized chunks of ongoing data about the art which is life. Doing so here, at my own website, fits into a more broad centralized content art strategy. I used to automatically distribute these to Twitter and Facebook but that no longer occurs as I have deleted those accounts. The Points are organized into Lines such as status, photo, poem, link, etc. There is an RSS feed if you are into that. Be well and thanks for looking.
