Saw it. Too amazing!
A must see.

thanks royal! my wardrobe is now complete.

I'm sure you all know this

We used to celebrate this at Costco.

another win-win

you can be guaranteed that you will never see anyone wearing the same pair of shoes as you... on earth, and drop a little less damage on said earth.

In light of recent events

I find this very inspiring. You may have already heard of this. My favorite quote was from his first day. "I discovered that badgers are very noisy."

For those who have seen my drivers license or passport,

I'm at a loss

So both of these videos come from the same site.

And if you have ever asked yourself "Who is Rippin' Richie?", well, here is the answer. I can tell you that he supports the troops.

Yum

If you don't have Michael on your camping trip, I would suggest these...

I read this today, thought I would share it

Things I saw
when I went to move my car

A man with a tattoo of large claw wounds on his neck.

A man in a car that looked like he just did a dose of heroin;
bobbing head, rolling eyes with large black/red circles under them,
and no shirt.

A smokey building, lots of people with their dogs,
and a fire hydrant accessed.

A man with one blind eye and one gooey f'ed up eye holding a guitar.

Might I add that this man grabbed my hand and held it in the air.

this is classic for 2 reasons

one, it is one of those ideas that someone should have thought of before now.

two, it is one of those ideas that
you can just steal and diy.

you been hit by

...another smooth post.




I'll be doing my shopping here, thank you.

this is the dumbest idea

that I have seen in the last 3 hours.

.

Frustrating

here.

this is funner.

So, I did a lot of soul-searching

about this post. It just seems like too good of a deal to not pass on. So you need to know the following things before you click. One, I was not searching for this at the time I found it. Two, no reason for guys to even bother with this link. Three, if you are uptight or easily offended, or easily embarrassed, don't follow this link. Still here?

Deal Of The Century!

uh oh

too bad R & D are not going to Amsterdam on their honeymoon.

maybe I'll go, here.

(this doesn't work in firefox)

this sucks

I followed this story until it just got too depressing. Now it is worse. If you are a designer, you may not want to drink Coke products after reading this.

The whole story is here.

no time, quick link

wow

Cute!

Beatles fan? check this out.

4 pretty cool people

renting?

buying?

this is cool.

Knowledge is power... for real

A follow up to my other post about shows that deserve to be on the air but the network boneheads don't agree. I can't believe they passed on this.
Here is some background.
Here is the fan site.


Here is where you can download the torrent.
(not that I approve of that kinda thing)

For something a little more lighthearted

This is the first window of a comic strip I made about Danielle, Lucy and me. I made it with the help of a neat little flash page.

You can make one too.

Canadians beware!

Some important words from Mary Mason, a senior lawyer for the U.S. government. To state the obvious, she is representing you and me.

The U.S. government is interpreting its powers in such a way that passengers never intending to enter the U.S. connecting to international flights at U.S. airports must prove they are no threat and could be allowed to enter the country.

If passengers are deemed to be inadmissible, they have no constitutional rights even if later taken to an American prison. Mason told Judge David Trager that's because they are deemed to be still outside the U.S., from a legal point of view.

Mason said the interpretation means travelers can be detained without charge, denied the right to consult a lawyer, and even refused necessities such as food and sleep.

...later on in article,

But in a motion filed this week, the U.S. Justice Department argues that even if torture does occur, U.S. officials can't be sued under the Torture Victims Protection Act because it only applies to foreign individuals committing or allowing torture.

This may offend some of you...

...it may offend all of you.
But I laughed. A lot.

Your city's a sucker!

I'm listening to the compilation album from
DFA records. An fairly eclectic mix of music.
If you go to the radio section of the website,
you can hear some tunes. If you don't like the music, tough nuts.



bonjour!

choice!

I hate it when people come up with cool ideas like this.
And by the way, nice friend!

a shout out to my benefactor for this one

I dig the tune, I dig the show. Amazing for a student project.
Music for when you just fall in love, or after you get dumped.

Every time I turn on PBS

I see f***ing Richard Proenneke.

There is a show about his life in Alaska called Alone in the Wilderness. It is mesmerizing much like a infomercial. I wish that I had 1/10 of his talent, though if I did, no one would ever see me again.
Anyone who has watched a whole episode of This Old House or the New Yankee Workshop might be interested in catching this show about him.

Don't get me wrong...

I love the sun. But I woke up this morning to one of those classic Seattle days and it put me in a great mood. It was the perfect morning for walking around town listening to Édith Piaf.

research project #135

Requested by: Michael
Subject: Ring Around The Rosie
Question: Is it about the Black Plauge

Nope, it looks like it's not. Also not about Shiva, the Hindu deity. Academic opinion is that it was a way for children to skirt strict religious laws against dancing. Generally thought to be comprised of random rhyming words. Snopes had it covered but I followed up.

Anything else?

another link for the nyc crew

I've said it before and I'll say it again

Everyone should see the greatest Star Wars remake/tribute ever, Star Crash.

More info here, and here.

Anyone who doesn't, should at least see this.
