I got the domain today, so that’s a step in the right direction for Obay. I am pretty excited about this culture jamming project, and it’s going to correlate well with the Javits application, as well as my essay writing. I feel activated now, and I am not sure why. Sticking it to the man may just do that to me. I also have a pretty strong support group. Thank you to all.
In other news, I still want to get a laptop, and that g4 is looking good, but I don’t know where I am going to get the money for it…doggie has been super unstable, even with the new power supply. But I want to keep doggie and make it run AND get a laptop. I have wonderful visions of typing my notes for two reasons, it’s easier to read, and I can save them to disk.
Still, 3g is 3g and that’s a lot of bank, especially when you’re still looking for a job.

Pete Ippel, the son of a dancer and a musician, was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001.
In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.
Mr. Ippel resides in Working Artists Ventura, a sustainable artist community in southern California. In addition, he teaches art, is a web developer, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time.
As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges.
