Video: Four Artists Digitaly Paint One Canvas Simultaneously!

March 20, 2010

This is an amazing video of a piece of collaborative art being created by four artists painting on one digital canvas simultaneously. The painting process was unplanned and free form. The artists took cues from each others actions and interpretation of various shapes/colors. Communication was made possible by text chat. The total elapsed time was [...]

Yes, I AM Interviewing Nina Hartley Tomorrow at SXSW

March 12, 2010

Ok a friend, who at this moment shall be nameless, but maybe not after I win this, bet me that if I were to open up a discussion on the blog here asking for questions for my interview tomorrow with Nina Hartley (yes, the legendary porn star) at South by Southwest that I would get [...]

God only knows how many times I’ve whined on Twitter about the sharp edge on my MacBook Pro right where your wrists rest while working on it. I swear to Buddha that after 15 minutes of working on this thing I have lines deep enough imprinted in my forearms to make people think I’m trying [...]

Ahhh, this is a strange story. It begins as the tale of a “church” in Amarillo that wants to get rid of a swingers club. But after peering a little deeper it seems evident to me that the religious group in this case is really just the thin disguise for a hate group led by [...]

Why don’t American’s come up with unbelievably cool crap like this? I mean you know all those record snow storms we were whining about? They wouldn’t matter if your car had its own set of tank tread snowshoes! Essentially you just drive your Volkswagen bug, or Ford F150 up onto these tank treads and then [...]

My brother pointed me to this clip from the Daily Show in which Stephen Colbert rips Greece a new one for it’s fiscal mismanagement. Funny stuff. Watch it.

Did the Google Maps Car Hit a Deer?

March 4, 2010

Ok. Don’t say that I never bring you anything completely useless, but absolutely fascinating nonetheless. Someone sent me this image that was supposedly captured by a Google Maps vehicle when they were driving around taking the Street View images. As you can see, it’s of a deer that appears to have been hit. Watch this [...]

Today We Lost Our Baby Lexi

March 3, 2010

There is nothing that can fill the hole in one’s heart that comes from the loss of a loved one. The pain is profound, and immeasurably deep. Sometimes the loved one is a human, and sometimes not. I can tell you from experience that the pain pays no mind to species. Today, for the second [...]
