Sunday, June 6, 2010 6:30 pm-7:45 pm – Opening Keynote – 1. Design Inspiration – Andy Stefanovich Andy Stefanovich, a nationally recognized innovative thinker, kicks off the Conference with […]
Three 8tracks mixtapes
I used to create mixtapes and CD compilations all the time, but in this era of streaming music and MP3s I had gotten out of the habit. However, since sharing user-crafted mixes online keeps getting easier (and legal) with new service providers, I thought it would be fun to start making mixtapes again. (That reminds […]
Secret Sauce, Tarantino and disappointed animals
Well, it’s almost been another three weeks since I posted anything, so here’s some stuff. In Internet time, a few of these items might be decades old now. Follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates of random, useless information. Bumbershoot was really fun this year, except for the rain. You might want to check […]
Dogs and cats, movies, photography, Comixed
Time to continue my giant post from two days ago with more slightly sorted randomness. Dogs and cats This video is kind of awesome: Bizkit the Sleep Walking Dog. Poor dog. At last. My life is now complete: When poodles turn into peacocks (12 pictures). Sigh. Oh no: How to properly massage a cat. This […]
Worms and insects, science, music, technology
Looks like I forgot to publish a post for a few weeks again. Oh well. It’s not like I haven’t been wasting time reading random crap online since my last post. Below are some things I’ve enjoyed. Worms, insects and gardening Here are three cool articles on worms and insects: “Journalist hunts for acid-spitting Mongolian […]
Da Vinci Days, movies and ice cream
I attended da Vinci Days in Corvallis on Saturday, which was the second day of the annual festival celebrating art, science, and technology. It was pretty fun. I posted some photos to Flickr and tweeted a bit. We spent most of Saturday afternoon in Darkside Cinema at the da Vinci Film Festival encore. I loved […]
Movies, Microsoft, music videos, Nietzsche, art
It is time, once again, for another blog post where I loosely sort two weeks worth of random pop culture links. Movies I still want to see Moon. The Daybreakers trailer looks interesting too (it’s good to see Ethan Hawke in a sci-fi film again). I wonder when The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus will be […]
Addictive YouTube videos, LEGO Arcade, Wimbledon
In light of some recent YouTube video addictions, I have made a quick list of a few videos from the past year or two that I’ve watched dozens of times (literally). The list mainly includes silly mashups, remixes and parodies of pop culture (featuring Auto-Tune, Lil Jon, etc.). Most addictive YouTube videos of all time […]
YouTube, Transformers 2, Ctrl-Alt-BOOM, Iran
This blog has become an embarrassment when compared to the real-time engagement with pop culture and world news that happens daily on Twitter. Not sure why I continue to (barely) maintain it. First, I really liked the YouTube DTV logo from June 12, 2009. Goodbye, analog television. Second, below is some old crap that might […]
Jason Lytle, zombie ponies and social networks
The Jason Lytle show I attended at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland on Saturday evening was awesome. I couldn’t have been happier that he played my very favorite Grandaddy song. “Jed’s Other Poem” transports me to 2001. I definitely got my Grandaddy fix. If you haven’t heard “Jed’s Other Poem” before, there is a […]
