Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    The spirals at Newgrange fascinate visitors. Their abstract nature makes them more mysterious than the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. With the hieroglyphs they were able to be understood because of the Rosetta Stone. That was possible because there were many peoples with a written language around the Mediterranean at that time. These mound builders had long vanished by the time other peoples started writing and all knowledge of their symbols disappeared with them.
