Roundup

The TC Avengers ^[1], “an all-inclusive direct action group committed to dismantling all forms of oppression” with an emphasis on LGBT issues (e.g., they sponsor Dyke March), are “chronicling gendered injustice” by putting together a Google map documenting instances of harrassment based on gender and sexual orientation ^[2]. I presume, given their mission statement, they’d include incidents based on race, (dis)ability and whatever other situations might cause a person to feel uniquely targeted and threatened. (via @autoclavicle ^[3])
Google released its web browser, Chrome, in Windows-only format a few weeks ago. Yesterday, Minnesota company CodeWeavers released “proof of concept” versions of Chrome for Mac and Linux. ^[4] (via @Minnov8 ^[5])
At the Walker tonight: Daniel Bergin on Parents, Kids, and the Media ^[6]. Daniel Bergin is a media educator and TPT producer.(via @lisa_ray ^[7], founder of Parents for Ethical Marketing ^[8] and the Corporate Babysitter ^[9] blog)
Michele Bachmann: Still a crazy hypocrite! ^[10]
Minneapolis has a new Sister City: Cuernavaca, Morelos (Mexico) from which thousands of Twin Cities residents have emigrated. ^[11]
Altered Esthetics ^[12] (now sporting its fancy new F1 Overnight Website Challenge ^[13] redesign) has put out the Call for Art ^[14] for 2009. There are 12 themes (one for each month). You may end up on display at AE and/or featured in their 2009 calendar. Read the submission guidelines ^[15] (pdf) and get your artwork in by September 30.
The Poster Offensive 4 exhibit, a political poster show, just closed at the Black Dog Cafe but will be opening September 24 at the Frank Stone Gallery. Watch the 3 Minute Egg video ^[16] on Poster Offensive ^[17]. (via bigboxcar ^[18])
And, hey! Look at 3 Minute Egg ^[19], “a video blog spotlighting the Twin Cities arts scene, created and produced by Matt Peiken ^[20], former staff arts writer at the St. Paul Pioneer Press and managing editor of the Walker Art Center’s magazine.” Matt, one word of advice: Disable that SnapShots Wordpress plugin. It’s really annoying.
Lazy Lightning: Random Sampling of South Metro Police Calls ^[21].
Fringe Famous: Why you gotta be all melodramatic? ^[22]
Glimpses of Soul Photography talks about photographing They Might Be Giants at First Avenue ^[23]. With photos from said concert.
