My threes of readers will undoubtedly know that I will occasionally work out with that fine piece of “engineering” known as a bowflex.

Mark-Steffen Göwecke’s Polaroid photography is such a brilliant concept, I weep not to have thought of it myself:

OK, so here’s the deal. I’ve yet to read any of the Harry Potter books. I’ve yet to read any of Dave Eggers books. I want and fully intend to read all of that stuff eventually. But, eventually isn’t now.

How did I never see that in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, god is represented in a cross section of a human brain? Sister Wendy already hipped me to the flaccid “finger”, but the whole brain thing slipped right past. It’s so obvious and cool once it’s pointed out to you.

The Nuart in LA is going to be doing a showing of Tron on Friday, January 9. Imagine that, Tron on the big screen. The lights, the colors, the wonderfully 80s cheeseball graphics. That would be so cool. I hope my user will let me go … EOL
