Still Not Spiderman

Jul 20th, 2009 by Will

Spent Saturday night in the desert photography stars. It was too dark to see the insects (or whatever) that were biting me, but I’m fairly sure they must have been mildly venomous. I just wish I’d gotten visions and super powers out of the deal instead of itching and pain.

Flipping Typical – in Browser Font Selection

Jun 27th, 2009 by Will

http://www.flippingtypical.com is an interesting idea. It detects the fonts you have loaded on your computer and then displays them all in a web page. I have software for font selection and management, but there’s something about a web page that feels easy.

The Once and Future … Wait, What?!

Jun 21st, 2009 by Will

I’m 20 minutes into NBC’s new Merlin series, and WOW have they taken some strange liberties with the story. I’m trying to get past it. The story is the teller’s to tell, and if they want to mix it up, that could be interesting. Still, if you’re going to scramble the mythology that much, why not just change the names and start fresh? Anybody coming looking for King Aurthur won’t find it here, and who’s going to watch this other than somebody looking for King Aurthur? I hope it gets better or that I find a way to get past it and just pretend the names are a coincidence.

30 ROCK is a rip-off of THE MUPPET SHOW!

Jun 10th, 2009 by Will

Man, after reading about how 30 ROCK is a rip-off of THE MUPPET SHOW!, I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to see the show the same way again.

The Future is Right Around the Corner

Jun 9th, 2009 by Will

Finally, science is bringing me the future of my dreams. We’re talking tiny little robots that crawl through your veins fixing stuff. The future is coming, and it won’t be long now.

I Saw Tail Lights Last Night

May 8th, 2009 by Will

I can’t seem to stop listening to “Great Expectations” by The Gaslight Anthem. I don’t know why. I mean it’s not horrible, but it’s not great by any stretch. From the corny fake record pops that a billion bands have done better (which isn’t saying much) to the forced lyrics, the whole thing feels kind of my first album. The drums are great though, and the energy is nice. Mostly, I think it’s just that the chorus must have one hell of a hook buried in it that works at some primitive level in my brain that refuses to let go.

Maybe if I listen to some of the Springsteen that clearly inspired the album I’ll be able to chase out the hero worship with the authentic.

Honda Insight – Let It Shine ad on Vimeo

Apr 26th, 2009 by Will

I had to view this Honda Insight ad in Safari instead of Firefox since I deliberately set up Firefox to block a lot of the tricks they’re trying to use to control the browser. Still, the way the video breaks out of the frame and runs all over the page is really impressive. As to the ad itself, it seems like it would have been a whole lot easier to just use computer special effects instead of trying to really do it with cars, but I guess it’s neat in a look what we can do sort of way.

Blessing of the Animals

Apr 11th, 2009 by Will

I headed over to Olvera Street today to photograph the annual Blessing of the Animals. There were a lot of little animals in a lot of little costumes. The procession went on for over an hour.

Lasers and Fusion – Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together

Mar 31st, 2009 by Will

For as long as i can remember, Fusion was that technology that was always 50 years away. Now, while I wasn’t looking, 50 years seems to have gotten A LOT CLOSER. I hope it works. It would solve a bunch of problems and be all kinds of cool. I can’t help feeling sad that none of this stuff is happening in the US. When it comes to science, we have really taken our eye off the ball.
