Hate School?

Sunday, January 15, 2006

You’re in good company. Don’t know why I didn’t think to google for “I Hate School” before. I need to do more zeitgeist-oriented searches.

Parrot-lag

Sunday, January 15, 2006

I’ve been remiss in checking others’ blogs lately, so it’s only just now that I discovered Sarah had posted the picture of us with the parrots in Miami.

Human descent

Friday, January 13, 2006

I can’t stop looking at these morphed pictures of animals. I kind of wish I could, because they’re creepy. (Though worksafe.) A fair sight more interesting than all those stupid greeting cards where they’ve used Photoshop to superenlarge the eyes of kittens and puppies, though.

The Earth is Phat!

Thursday, January 12, 2006

Praise the gods, Google has finally released Google Earth for Mac. I still can’t get as close a look at the Norwegian Fjords as I’d like, but then again I’m not totally sure I’m looking in the right place. You know what I love about Iceland? There’s towns even in the snowiest bits. The Earth is phat!

The Inexorable March of Technology

Sunday, January 8, 2006

I’ve started a Flickr stream, mostly in order to be contribute to Adorablog’s, but also just to keep up with things (I know I’m behind the curve on this one). Some of the recent photos from Seattle are up there — more to come, as well as the latest Fries and Propaganda, soon.

Barney vs. Tupac

Saturday, December 17, 2005

My friends and I used to have some sort of grudge about Barney… I don’t feel it as viscerally as I used to… not really sure what that was all about… but I sure do still appreciate a thorough sullying of his squeaky-clean image.

Republican Crap.

Sunday, December 11, 2005

You know, like a figure of an angel resting on an American Flag, watching over a fireman. Or a stabbing device covered with icons which tug at the patriotic heartstrings. Buy them to support liberal organizations. Isn’t that clever? I wish I’d thought of it when I was trying to shill for nonprofits and the IMC.

Custom Cooptation

Saturday, December 10, 2005

I’ve just posted an article over at Adorablog about an art show featuring My Little Ponies. Didn’t want to put up any metacommentary there — it’s not really in the editorial vision of the site — but I just need to say that I think I understand how grafitti artists felt when some of their number began to be invited to do gallery shows in the early 80s. Not that I’m a pony customizer myself, but I’ve been writing, in fascination and in concern, about the custom community for long enough that I feel a little protective of them.

How do you type with those things?!

Monday, November 28, 2005

Not sure why I felt compelled to look this up today — probably because I found myself asking the above question of a fellow doctoral student yesterday — but a Google search for long nails turned up a fascinating site.

Catching Up on Others’s Blogs

Friday, November 25, 2005

Because I am terrified of this presentation I am supposed to do at NRC next week, I am procrastinating hardcore in a way which will not make me feel quite as dirty as playing WoW for hours. I am catching up on friends’ blogs. Here’s a selected rundown.
