I think Jeremy(Shape+Colour) got it right when he said “his song makes me feel like I’m walking down the street at dusk the moment before the streetlights turn on.”

“Beyond a certain age, sincerity ceases to feel pornographic”

…I like that.

I’m catching up on the last few weeks of reading for Zara’s class, and I just finished reading Chapter 2 from The Society of the Spectacle.

Holy crap.

Reading that thing made my head spin. I’m hoping that it’s just a side effect of translation, but there is so much double talk in that thing I had to read each paragraph over about three times.

Having gotten through it though, I must admit that I really dig it. It really fits nicely with a piece I started work on the other night.

I dig this quote (which seems to be rephrased and reiterated at least a dozen times in this chapter) “…the real world is replaced by a selection of images which are projected above it, yet which at the same time succeed in making themselves regarded as the epitome of reality.”

Awesome.

I can’t help but find myself thinking about Magritte’s Treachery of Images though…

when I fell.

(This is NOT where I was. This picture is of the successful try. When I fell I was at the top of the wall at the top of the steps. Way less straight drop.)

Please forgive the quick photoshop stitch job.

A wet wash cloth, a running fan, a few advil and five extra hours of sleep are a magical combination.

I think I’m on an inventive vehicle kick (I’ve got a couple blog posts waiting in the wings about diy snowboards, and a pretty sweet snowboard brand) but this may very well take the cake.

I really relate to Conti’s quote saying “If I have a problem I tend to solve it with my engineering capabilities. I was born an engineer.” I may be trained as an artist/designer, but I think like an engineer. I’m fairly certain it’s genetic.

This is pretty cool. The face on this watch, qixen-p’s Uni, is a 96×96 pixel OLED, and can be customized over mini USB. Just wish I could find the price.
