These two met in a situation which neither could avoid. A virtual fender-bender which forced the point of their acquaintance. After a bit of reluctance, they both realized that opposites DO attract and that Art and Technology are comfortable and, one might even say, powerful together.

As a case-in-point: consider a site that I recently did for a photographer friend of mine, the artist, Peter Ralston of Ralston Gallery. This site is a custom PhotoShelter site. The site design was a perfect collaboration of Art and Technology. Each element making the other better than it would individually be. Peters photographs, (and Wyeth prints) and custom technology together create an awesome web site. Check it out.

Never again! Working with Content Management Systems is like interacting with your own children. They are all different and ‘special’ in their own way. You must love them all equally. Choose your interaction with them in a thoughtful way so they will deliver forth their unique talents. I’ve used and worked with Joomla!, WordPress, Drupal, DotNet Nuke and now mojoPortal. Again, they’re just like kids delightful in many ways and annoying, at times, in other ways.
