Holy…. wow! Just wow!

The Anti-Bush Online Adventure [requires flash]

This thing is so, soooo sweet it’s scarcely to be believed! It’s a video game combined with a cartoon combined with stats and data on the Bush administration and the economy over the past 4 years. Incredibly smart and incredibly hilarious! I wish there were some […]

Marriage is a Union Between a Man and a Man

Friday, May 28th, 2004

Seriously. I propose that we just start saying that as often as possible, wherever possible.

Opponents of gay marriage just keep saying over and over “marriage is between a man and a woman.” That’s it! There’s no “because.”

Why?

Because you say so? I think that’s more or less it. But we can choose to […]

GE Reveal Light Bulbs - ZZzzz…

Thursday, May 27th, 2004

For some years now I’ve been carting around energy-saving light bulbs from residence to residence. They’re expensive, sometimes $20 for a bulb, but they last a lot longer than regular incandescents and use about 25% as much electricity. That’s right, a *savings* of 75%. This pretty much pays for itself.

Now I know what you’re […]

The Case of the Basketball Player

Tuesday, May 18th, 2004

Here is a short work which I hope you will enjoy. I realize that it has no plot, no dialogue, no characters really, and no real scenes. If you can still call this fiction, you’ll have to do so for your own reasons because I’m pretty sure the MFA crowd wouldn’t even stoop to take […]

The Ads Don’t Stop

Wednesday, May 5th, 2004

On Monday I stopped into the post office. The United States Postal Service office. Federally-run. You know. The red-white-and-blue shipping company.

I was stunned to see Shrek 2 cross-marketing everywhere. A huge orange poster describing April as national “write-a-letter” month featured Princess Fiona swooning over a love letter from Shrek. The jive-talking donkey winked at me […]

The Cat With Hands

Short film of the day. Requires QuickTime.

What to do with those millions?

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004

Buy a decommissioned Russian fighter jet, of course! Only two-hundred-thousand British pounds.

We did actually see someone flyng a fighter jet in circles around Black Rock City at Burning Man last year. It would take Christopher to tell you what kind of plane it was exactly, but to me it looked similar to the one linked […]

Ouch

I didn’t even know that a human being could run for 24 straight hours, much less that they’ve been setting successively higher and higher records for *how far* they can get in that time. Talk about taking years off your life. Damn.

Rockfish

Sunday, May 2nd, 2004

Rockfish is an independent short film made by an animation studio called Blur. It is extremely cool. It requires Quicktime and comes in a large (60MB) and small (50MB) version. Enjoy!
