About the name
The word Renice is, in this case, a

I once wanted to rename myself, but I know now that when we look for positivity, we find it in surprising places. I like to think of 'ReNice' as referring to positive recursion; it's a nice 're-minder' to be more positive :>

Pacu
I've loved ichthyology since Cary Grant taught me the word [[1]].
Inspired by a single so-called 'news' video heralding a 'freak' fish which supposedly had "human teeth", I began rewriting the article on
I have come to believe that the US aquaria trade should be restricted from importing these fish for hobbyists. However, this isn't likely to occur without a little education.
I wrote a photographer for permission to use this great photo. It's good for a sense of scale -- this is the same species that is sold to home aquarists in the US, and its growth is not inhibited by a small tank as many hobbyist believe!
Printmaking
As an artist, I have considered myself a printmaker since creating my first woodcut at age 11 (an image of
I have an M.A. in Art Education and, among other studio techniques, I have taught printmaking to every age group from pre-schoolers to senior citizens.

Visual arts project
My grandfather was a painter and gave me my first set of oil paints when I was six (my mother was horrified). Soon after, I got my first taste of graphic design when he approved or rejected my design submissions for inclusion in his murals.
I started working full-time as a graphic designer at 16. I later got a degree in Art History, and then Art Education. I continued working in the field of visual communications throughout school, as well as after, under various titles including communications manager, web designer, information designer, assistant design director, graphic designer, commercial artist, layout artist, and illustrator. I've worked with a variety of companies and clients, including a recording label, a performing arts center, an art museum, computer software companies, and computer consulting groups.
WikiProject Visual Arts has a lot of ground to cover, so I'm sure to find a few things there to keep me engaged. One of the things I'd like to do is help define and more consistently apply the categories Visual arts genres, Visual arts media, Visual arts materials, and Artistic techniques (see discussion on WikiProject Visual arts).
The Western White House
I was surprised recently when I saw an official sign proclaiming
At any rate, the lack of information on the historical use of the term, as well as misinformed bloggers' outrage (not that they shouldn't be outraged, just that they should better understand and properly direct their outrage, ahem) over the current use of the term, has prompted me to start accumulating informative tidbits in the
