OK Artsy types, weekly shout out time! Either we'll be arting about Girl2 and The Bride being back in school or it'll be about my recent bout of dental masochism. Either way, should make for an interesting show ;).

Big thanks last week to +owen swain, +Dmitri Arbacauskas, +Amy L. Rawson, +Cliff Roth, +Kerri Love, +Dale Anne Potter, and +Justin Vining for sharing their current projects last week. Also, thanks to +Leslie Herger, +Sue Bevins, and +Diana Walker for helping to spread the word!

All you creative types are up to something and I want to show it off for you. So whatever you are currently drawing, painting, sculpting, photogging, printing, sewing, singing, swearing, cursing, etc. send me a link to it so I can show it off for you on The Artistic Biker Live! tomorrow night. Let's do something wacky this time and include a link where I can lead people back to you. So if you have twitter or a website or flickr or whatever, send me a link to your current work and a link where folks can find more of your works. The works will be highlighted during the middle segment of the show, and the links will be posted on the website https://www.artisticbiker.com as well as sent out in The Artistic Biker Newsletter.

Every Thursday night from 6-8p C (U.S.) I do a live Ustream webcast called The Artistic Biker Live! It's a blunt force journey through the art world exploring new ideas and techniques and showing off new artists wherever I can find them. Tune in Thursday night 6pm central time at https://www.artisticbiker.com/ustream.

why i come in early these days

in doing my best to test the full spectrum of Google+ features, here's my weekdaily agenda that's forced me to head into the office for the past two weeks as much as 2 hours early on weekdays (in this order):

1. check my Twitter timeline in bed (i only follow ~95 feeds, so i've got about 450 tweets queued while i sleep); forward all interesting tweets to Evernote to be later posted on Google+
2. reply to any Huddle conversations in which i'm embroiled (usually sports debates or "what's the plan today?" fare)
3. come into work then check my main Stream, posting/replying to comments, sharing neat posts by others i've got circled
4. review my Sparks feed for content i'm tracking; post interesting things to my Stream
5. reply to my Notifications
6. visit profiles of people that have encircled me and add users
7. review my Incoming stream
8. send out privately-addressed messages
9. compose an original thoughts as posts (within my Stream)
10. repeat Steps 2-9 as necessary, as by this point conversations have spawned conversations.

by this point in my day, i'm about to do my actual job. and i haven't event started playing any of the games yet. ;)

I have no comment on the "Real Name" issue with G+, but THIS is funny!

This week's Artistic Biker videos are up:Saturday, August 13th, is National Lefthanded Day.@Ikerrilove and @Daleannepotter challenged @journalartista to do her entire show on Saturday using only her left hand. When I saw the tweet, I thought that sounded like a WONDERFUL challenge so I picked up and did it too. During the show, I did the entire page with my left hand, I exposed both my dad and my wife as being bidextral.Here are the links to the artists included in the What's On Your Easel segment:+owen swain – http://owenswain.com/+Dmitri Arbacauskas – http://www.tormentedartifacts.com/+Amy L.
