Indulge My Curiosity

I always like to learn new things about my readers, but first something you may not know about me. Did you know, I’ve been on the Internet long enough to remember connecting onto Compuserve through a 28.8k modem? Downloading 35k .wav clips, listening to MIDI files and downloading “high res” jpeg images at 800×600! Ahh, [...]

When Good Intentions Lead To Bad Decisions

If you hadn’t noticed, I got hammered in yesterday’s blog post. I’m talking two black eyes and kick to the stomach. Even my own wife disagreed with me!
First of all, let me just say how awesome it is to have an environment like this where you feel comfortable disagreeing with me and expressing different viewpoints. [...]

A Tale of Two Tampons

Like any good husband I usually get the monthly request to pick up feminine hygiene products. I get the phone call or see it snuck in on a grocery list.
Often times when I run out in the evening I’ll see other guys aimlessly wandering the hygiene products isle with a look of confusion and bewilderment [...]

Ever Wish You Had Another Copy of Yourself?

There is just so much going on in my life right now. I’ve got enough design work to keep me busy for a while – trust me, I’m not complaining – but don’t you ever just wish you had another copy of you that could help you out? Reminds me of this scene from Multiplicity [...]

Rent DVDs Without Returning Them

It seems everyone from Kroger to McDonalds is getting in on DVD rentals these days so it didn’t surprise me to see a rack of DVDs to rent at Staples when I was picking up some office supplies. What did surprise me was the sign above the DVDs, “NO RETURN DVD RENTAL!”

A Wall Painted Animation

This guy has some SERIOUS talent and patience! I can’t even imagine how long it took to put this together. Granted, his creative style is totally whacked out but you’ve still got to appreciate the dedication and creativity behind it. Keep in mind, this animation was hand-painted frame-by-frame on walls, sidewalks and buildings in Buenos [...]
