Steadycamariffic
This week off has been productive for one reason and one reason only…the cheap $20 worth of parts steadycam I built. I was so proud of myself too.
“Ooooo…look at me screwing pipes together. I’m like a real man! Putting stuff together and drilling holes into metal rules! I am a construction GOD!”
The amazing thing to […]
The coolest track ever
Last night I was up quite late, tired of reading, listening to random selections from my music archive.
I was just laying there with the good headphone on, being one with the sound and suddenly I heard the coolest thing ever.
I’m not kidding. The music touched my soul like none had ever done. I was enthralled. […]
I lost a wash
I’m not sure how I managed to lose a wash.
[note: A wash for you not living in the southwest, and luxuriating in the 80 F (27 C) temperatures these days, is a dry river bed. Why it’s called a wash is beyond my limited purview. I suspect it’s because people used to just stand in […]

Familiar unfamiliar
I had a curious moment a few hours ago. I was running an errand near the ex-girlfriend’s house and I thought I’d stop by and say hello to her, her husband and her cats, and wish them all a happy pagan ritual and a good new year.
[See? I told you it was curious but ignore […]
Bouncing
Coincident with my recent trampoline footage I went to the company Christmas party and bounced on a trampoline most of the night.
Here’s some useful advice:
Don’t eat a lot of Middle Eastern food fast drink, a few beers and then find out there’s a trampoline that you IMMEDIATELY run to and start bouncing on…for hours.
Slightly drunk, […]
Changing the world to suit your tastes
This montage video from production studio R!ot Manhattan shows just how easy and effective it can be to manipulate reality in imagery to make the world suit your tastes.
I’m just starting to learn some of those techniques and have known about others they’re using through work with Photoshop in the late 1990’s when I had […]
The saddest goddamn thing I’ve ever seen
This may be one of the saddest photos I’ve ever seen
http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/iraq_war_families/5.html
Now I take alot of pictures. Sometimes they’re good pictures too. What I have never been comfortable with doing is taking pictures of people because it always feels like I’m intruding. I still take pictures of people but I don’t like doing it.
So the first […]
Saving lives and ruining parties
I didn’t go to work today because I didn’t think I’d be able to stand for more than 20 minutes at a time and there’s precious little space for a lounge chair in the kitchen.
In the grand scheme of things that decision probably saved lives since the restuarant mostly feeds avaricious health care workers […]
