This critical issue will be decided, as called by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.

Gremillion hosts Steven Alexander
Gremillion & Co. Fine Art, Inc. hosts opening reception for Steven Alexander, Vibrolyx, Friday, November 5.
Alexander’s Paintings (shown below in full) feature iconic geometric configurations infused with luscious color resonances. His surfaces, built slowly through a painstaking process, convey a deep sense of time and place.
