Yes our puppet-loving friend Hannah Miller (of Thunderhag) is up to it again, this time with a video documenting a recent art opening at Taste by another one of our featured creators on this site, Jessica Earley.

Jessica’s show at Taste is her first solo show, and the entire show depicts mothers, girls grappling with the state of being a mother, and the fact that they are able to become mothers.
A blurb from the Daily City had this to say:
From Jessica Earley at Taste
Jessica Earley (Audience Choice Awards, Blunder Bungle, Interview) has her first solo show *ever* June 11, 2010 7-9pm at Taste (717 W Smith Street). Free admission. Drink specials. She describes the show as this: “There will be boobies, there will be babies, there will be blood (really).”
Not to mention the purple hair, but WTF?
One of the stand-out contributions to the Creative Mind Experiment was the Dog Powered Robot, created by Evan Miga and friends (including his Pomeranian, Fisher). Found via The Daily City.
About the Creative Mind Experiment:
See how differently creative minds interpret the same inspiration.
All of the creators agreed to participate without knowing what their source of inspiration would be. They were given a 3 min and 33 sec piece of music and asked to create “something” in that time frame. They can use any medium they wish and as little or as much of the music as they desire. The only rule is that they must create something that was inspired by something they heard or felt in the piece of music.
See what creators like Bob Kodzis (Creative Catalyst/Improv Actor), Brian Feldman (Performance Artist), Jordan Woods-Robinson (Blue Man/Actor/Fiddle Player), Evan Miga (DRIP Creative Engineer & Graphic Designer), Lindsay Cohen (Writer/Actor), Ryan Price (Community Builder/Hacker), Richard Paul (Improv artist), Brandon Roberts (Producer/Director/Actor, Creator of the PB&J Theatre Factory) , Tisse Mallon (Photographer/Creative Mind), Melissa Cowen (Child Dance Prodigy), Comedians, Musicians, Choreographers and more separately create.
Each creation is placed one right after another so you can see just how differently they think even when inspired by the exact same thing. 8 creators will participate in every show. View the show-by-show schedule to see when your favorites will appear!

While communities across the nation seek new ways to generate local economic development and job growth without spending millions of dollars, St. Cloud and Osceola County took a big step forward recently with the formal dedication of the new UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud facility at 3201 Budinger Ave. in St Cloud.
Gordon Hogan, director of operations for the UCF Business Incubation Program, said the launch of the new 14,000 square foot facility marks a new era of economic development activity in Osceola County.
Four incubation client companies are locating offices in the new facility immediately, Hogan said, and the UCF Business Incubation Program expects to name a full time site manager in less than 30 days. Eventually, the UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud could accommodate as many as 20 client companies.
Business incubators rank among the most cost-effective ways to generate sustainable local economic growth. Since 1999, the UCF Business Incubation Program has helped more than 140 emerging companies generate more than $800 million in annual revenues and more than 1,600 new jobs with an average salary of $59,000.
Research has shown that 87 percent of incubator graduates are still in business five years after graduating from an incubation program, said UCF’s Business Incubation Program Founder Dr. Tom O’Neal.
“The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will provide a wide range of services to accelerate the growth of promising young companies so they can play a greater role in economic expansion in the local area,” Hogan explained.
The UCF Business Incubation Program currently supports nearly 90 client companies, Hogan said, and ranks as one of the premier university-based incubation programs in the U.S.
“St. Cloud is very excited to have one of the premiere incubation programs in the country in St. Cloud. The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will not only assist in growing our own companies, but will help to achieve the long-time goal of diversification in the local job markets and the overall economy,” said Ernie Gearhart, Economic Development Consultant for the City of St. Cloud.
The St. Cloud incubator facility is one of eight in the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation program. Additional incubator facilities are located at UCF Campus, Research Park in east Orlando, and in Orlando, Sanford, Winter Springs and Leesburg.
