I like this one better. The characters on the left mean “Opportunity” and on the right mean “Adventure.”

Jim Groom’s Minimalist Film Travel Poster: I’m really into softglow, as you can see. Here’s what I did: I started with a 480×640 black background in the GIMP and grabbed the SF Transrobotics font off of DaFont (there was a Blade Runner font, but that’s too obvious). Then I found a (public domain) PNG of ...

Actually, not crossposting, but just linking you to an entry from my other blog. It’s about DS106 radio, which, if you’re not listening to it or broadcasting on it, you’re wrong. Just read it. If you’re not interested in the Chr...

Today we witnessed what was ostensibly the death of Dr. Barnaby Oblivion, details of which, if you’re reading this at all, can be found in an elsewhere you already know about. What you might not have caught was this, Barnaby’s blog post affirming that he is not, in fact, dead at all. Go check it ...

Arababky has the scoop.

What do you think, sirs?

From Godzilla vs. Megalon. Pretty damn ridiculous.

Special thanks to Cheryl Colan for the drawing of the Doc!

What’s really going on outside the borders of the kangaroo crossing sign? I submit that, up from the depths, 30 stories high, breathing fire, his head in the sky, GOJIRA has his eye on some tasty, tasty marsupial. Special thanks to Cheryl Colan for proposing this assignment. I really like it. Process: I searched for ...

Here’s a picture of a stuffed Tux, sitting on a piece of sheet metal I had lying around and “Colors>Colorify…”‘d in GIMP to green.

This one was a simple one, since I’m packing up to move to a new place here in the next few days. The assignment was to take an ordinary, everyday object and manipulate the colors. I did this one in one step on the GIMP: Colors>Posterize. I think I picked 5 or 6 colors. Enjoy:

What do you think, sirs?

Everyone’s been doing this one, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon.  

Because peanut butter is clearly superior to jelly. More thoughts if you click through to the Flickr page.

  This one’s not as clear. Makes me long for a real camera.

Here’s where I, your humble host, tell you what’s what:

This was originally a comment on the previous post: Okay, here’s the plan: partially based on feedback, partially based on nostalgia for the personality cult aesthetic I stumbled onto with my video “For a Better Tomorrow,” I will be switching back to the old one. I had thought by using Fu Manchu that I would ...

I’ve chosen as my new avatar Dr. Fu Manchu, the most evil man the world has ever known. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. And if you haven’t seen the old movies, you might recognize that ugly mug as Christopher Lee.

Someone please tell me I’m holding these right. That’s how I eat with them and it works for me, but if I’ve just embarrassed myself in front of everyone, at least tell me.

Dr. Oblivion, this bag of gold is heavy. And it’s got holes in it. No matter. Limitations are to be surmounted.

Water in two forms. Because it’s hot outside.

Today’s videos were very much about using digital technology to assist in the education of this upcoming generation (and subsequents) – and by “assist in” I mean “drive”; and by “education” I don’t mean the job training that lots of kids come to college for, but actual, no-shit betterment. That is to say, these guys, ...

My roommate smoking a cigarette. You smokers know how hot that is.

It’s like this because MPEG Streamclip isn’t working under WINE and Linux is an inferior operating system.

Not that I think I’ll ever need it, but:     Cool.

We’re officially up and running. Officially.
