Removing the Owner of a Studio Database
April 1, 2011 —
I recently had the chance to reminisce about the Aqualogic Studio editor (Was it ever Oracle WCI Studio?) in all it’s quirkyness.

In 2006, the famous (infamous? I can never get those two words straight) street artist Banksy put on a show in an LA warehouse named, “Barely Legal”. The centerpiece of the show was “The Elephant In The Room”, a painted live elephant that seemed like, IMO, a pretty blase metaphor all dressed up in shock →
