So many arms, so little time.

I’ll need a credit card that’s got no limit…

Who is that handsome devil doing today’s Sports Racer Intro on The Show with Ze Frank? Why does his nose look so HUGE? Does his upper lip move at all? These are all difficult questions to answer, but what is certain is that it’s Ride the Fire Eagle Danger Day, and I have some poking [...]

She totally confused all the passing piranhas…

October 20th 2006

This actually happened yesterday, which makes it all the more cool. For those keeping score, that’s less than four days, round trip, to get repaired (from VA all the way to CA and back). Apple had it for more than two weeks and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. TechRestore had it less than twenty-four [...]

Sometimes I wish she was you…

October 18th 2006

So, TechRestore just called. The hard-drive in my iPod is dying. Funny how Apple couldn’t figure that out. I really seriously wonder whether Apple looked at it at all in the two weeks they had it. When I got it back from Apple, it wasn’t even in working condition: the battery was completely drained, and [...]

Here’s a little experiment I did today. Not sure exactly why I did it, and I really didn’t have a finished product in mind when I started, but here it is. Couple of things happening here besides the obvious cloning. I did a tilt-shift effect on it as well, and the [...]

There are:57people with my namein the U.S.A.

How many have your name?

Furthermore, the above site claims there are 190,480 people in the US with the first name Mario, and that 98.43% of those are male (why would someone name their daughter Mario - could it be typos of Marie or Maria). It is also supposedly [...]

Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay…

October 17th 2006

Ever have one of those moments where you wonder if you’re doing the right thing? You think you’re pretty good at something, and you work hard at it to make it better, but then it suddenly occurs to you that maybe you’re not all that good at it, and maybe it’s just that no [...]

Yeeeeaaaah … thanks, verabee. Now I’m cussing too!
In other news, my stupid iPod has decided it’s giving up the ghost. I sent it to Apple once already (they kept it for two weeks) and they said there was nothing wrong with it (what?). Today I’m sending it to TechRestore; we’ll see what they have [...]

Mos perituri mortem salutamus [iterum]…

October 13th 2006

Yesterday afternoon I was driving to The Boy’s soccer practice by the usual route. Around these parts it is not atypical to see a vulture circling in the sky. It is atypical to see one in town, and it is especially so to see a flock of more than twenty or thirty of them circling [...]
