Now here's a cool way of creating art from dirt literally: the Reverse Graffiti Project, which involves incorporating designs while cleaning soot off grimy walls. That way one doesn't even have to clean the entire wall and yet still beautify the place. Maybe my father could do the same thing the next time he cleans the moss and dirt from our driveway using our high pressure washer.
Today we celebrate the birthday of our national hero, Jose Rizal (José Protacio Mercado Rizal Alonso y Realonda). It was therefore with great pride as a Filipino to see that this Great Malayan was the featured birthday celebrant over at the Free Dictionary considering that so many other prominent personalities were also born on this day such as James I of England, the great mathematician Blaise Pascal, Wallis Simpson the Duchess of Windsor, Lou Gehrig, Guy Lombardo, Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, writer Salman Rushdie ... and ooh, look! the young British actor Hugh Dancy.
