Somebody beat me to it.

Somebody beat me to it. Well played, and certainly not a trap.

I fear for my gender.

Sometimes I like to rant about things. Sometimes Mr. Blurrycam strikes. Sometimes I manage to pull off a decent spy shot with my cameraphone (the LG Voyager has an awful camera).

On my way to work this morning I noticed a peculiar sticker unlike the usual political stickers brandished proudly on rear windows. I'm pretty sure this guy didn't put the sticker there, or he's being forced to have it displayed on his vehicle.



I was thinking to myself why the guy would have such a sticker, and here's the possibliities I came up with:

1) His wife has got him totally whipped, and she put the sticker there, probably giggling as she peeled the adhesive backing off.
2) He for some reason is in a very serious public relationship that must be broadcasted to bumper-to-bumper traffic.
3) She bought him the car.

Now in such a case as number 3. I thought that if this were me, or any other self-respecting man, (hopefully with a man's car, it would look something like this.



Way to go John!

Just found this. Forgot I made it.

Advanced Photshop Magazine, for professionals, blows minds.

I went into Barnes & Noble today to kill a few minutes and I happened stumble upon the plethora of Photoshop and art-oriented magazines. Having seen a few issues of the Before & After (kinda boring, but informative and detailed) I was stoked and began flipping through. I'd have to say, it's got some incredible artwork in there, along with tutorials and articles from the pros. Made for a nice brush-up on retouching and contemporary Apple-stylized compositions. The website is at www.advancedphotoshop.co.uk

My room is Awesome.



I just mounted my HDTV along with the media center remote receiver. Needless to say my room is a stellar place to chill and watch all kinds of media and listen to music and just generally be distracted by anything and everything. I'm really stoked for the weekend, as ususal. :D

Electric sheep makes stunning visuals, androids plot psychidelic revolution, dude.


I was introduced to a wonderful screen saver called Electric Sheep which uses an xml-based genome to create fractal renderings. These fractal renderings can be 'bred' together to create new ones, they even slowly mutate over time. From Wikipedia: "The name "Electric Sheep" is taken from the title of Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. The title mirrors the nature of the project: computers (androids) who have started running the screensaver begin rendering (dreaming) the fractal movies (sheep)."
