(Attribution expanded):Virtual finger painting by Ksanlab (where I can't find it) via Techblog who cites Fresh Creation: “Touch Me Tender” is an early prototype interface that eventually aims to replace photo editing programs such as Adobe Photoshop and MS Paint. It allows users to paint with their fingers directly on the screen: The video begins with a demo of dragging and enlarging photos with your finger, then switches to finger painting. When I was 5, I loved kindergarten because we could finger paint at a big easel whenever we finished our work. I raced through letters and numbers so I could paint, and had it down enough that I was painting much of the day. Unfortunately, I didn't understand how that looked to adults: Like too much fun. One night my parents got a call from the teacher saying I obviously was ready for first grade. After 6 weeks in kindergarten, I was moved to a classroom with desks, no naps, no milk and cookies, and no easels -- childhood's end.
It's been more than two years since Patti Smith's breakthrough album, Horses, and the May 15, 1978 gig was also a historical event - it was poet Jim Carroll's first performance as a rock star. News: A Homecoming: Patti Smith to Play CBGB's Last Show. The famed NYC club on the Bowery, birthplace of punk, is closing after 33 years. Following the show, CBGBs, thanks to skyrocketing rent costs, is relocating to Las Vegas, and expected to open in 2008. Bonus: History of Rock -N- Roll Punk Part 2 at YouTube. In case you wondered, CBGB stands for Country Bluegrass Blues, even though we don't think its 1974 house band, The Ramones, ever played that. Video: Ramones: Judy is a Punk (CBGBs 1974)
