I have this deep conviction that, given the chance, most Americans would take anything that smells like art or an artist and ship it to the giant island of plastic waste in the middle of the Pacific. With that mindset it should come as little...
Read morePrinceton Laptop Orchestra on Fox News
Fox again dips into the pool of slightly odd to fill space in their schedule, this time dragging Mr. Scott Smallwood (beard, glasses, sitting in the center) along with them. This clip is a tad old, but, hey, it was new to me. For those...
Read moreFAIL – be careful with your ad placement
Screen grab of the ad section from one of those ridiculous themed RSS aggregator ad farm sites (or Splog). The interpretations of this juxtaposition (and the potential for resulting humor) are endless. Way to go, 1st Tenn!
Read moreThe Damn Best of 2007 List
I wasn’t really going to do one of these, but basically had done most of the pieces elsewhere, so I’ve compiled it all here. Five Comics or Comics-Related Publications You Enjoyed Reading This Year (originally on The Comics Reporter)...
Read moreCosmos is on TV again
We are all made out of star stuff. For those of us who remember a time when Pluto was a planet, Australia was a continent and Vegetable Soup was a tv show… there is one magic, authoritative voice that has always sent a shiver of awe through...
Read moreTV Worth Watching
I’m still trying to figure out what Queens of the Stone Age have to do with Slow Food and why they were on Anthony Bourdain‘s No Reservations tonight… but I am much more excited about Tuesday night’s debut on the Sundance...
Read moreKarlheinz Stockhausen – Final Kontakte
I was very sad to hear this evening of the passing of the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. I’ve found he is someone who more people have heard of then have listened to his works. Often, at best, they know of the connection from Holger...
Read moreTiger Claw Elite Champions Performance
At long last I’ve managed to go through some more of my shots from the intense photo-overload in Florida last month. Some of my favorites are these from the Disney Martial Arts Festival night-time show performance by the Tiger Claw Elite...
Read moreWhat is an OEM? – Tom Manning’s Spamtoons
I gleefully tracked the poetry of spam this past summer (or spoetry) in a couple of posts (Thing 1 | Thing 2). Now, Yale School of Art MFA candidate Tom Manning has gone one better and turned them into cartoons. See the results on the excellent...
Read moreMemories of the Space Age
I’ve been in Florida since Tuesday. I’m leaving on Monday. Too much to process right now. Cocoa Beach… the Kennedy Space Center… survived the SGIA in Orlando today. The Disney Martial Arts Festival is the next two days...
Read moreDead Air Space
Ah, well.. trumped by Radiohead… The recent series of untitled sketches on their Dead Air Space blog may be even more stupid then our Stupid Pages. But, I guarantee we are capable of getting dumber.
Read moreMany wizards had them, but not many ever bothered to use them.
Even the brute called Chickenwire treated Teatime with caution, if not respect, and the monster called Banjo just followed him around like a puppy. Worse, he was found to be smart and weird and crazy, intolerably so on all these counts and...
