Moving to another website.

Hi to anyone who is viewing and has viewed my blog. I am letting you know that I am going to be moving my artwork on a website called Behance.net.  I will still keep my thoughts on the blog, but I will be posting my artwork on this new site from now on. I think it will work better for me. I appreciate anyone who has made time to look at my artwork and hope that you will be able to see more of my future work on the Behance site. Thanks!

The Theta Story

By: Jason Embree

References (ehow.com and Wikipedia.com)

Hey, my name is Theta. WAIT…DON’T GO!  I am the 8^th letter of the Greek alphabet.  I was born around the 15^th century.  In my early years, I was written as a cross or x shape within a circle.  As time went on, I was then written as a line or point within a circle.  The point or dot was called a circumpunct.  I also have a half-brother that was a Cyrillic letter called Fita. (Put hand on the side of mouth) We don’t like to talk about him much.

In archaic times, I was used as a symbol for the Earth.  I was used for Celtic crosses too. I am used in economics, mathematics, and physics to name a few.  Some think that I am an unlucky number.  My symbol was used by judges on their ballots in passing condemnation onto a prisoner.  My symbol represented a warning of death too.  So it seems that I may be an intimidating letter, but I don’t think of myself as that.
