Logan Hill’s New Identity System
Saturday, July 18th, 2009
Logan Hill’s New Identity System from logan hill on Vimeo.
My good friend, Logan Hill is one of those guys you just know is going to do well as an artist. I’ve always enjoyed his work, especially over the last few years, but this video nears the top of my list of favorite work to date. [...]
12 Gorgeous Vimeo Videos for Design Inspiration
Sunday, July 12th, 2009
I’d seen a few of these before, but there are some real gems that were new to me.
How to Detect BS
Saturday, July 4th, 2009
How to Detect BS (a short essay). Fantastic techniques to destroy the myths that are crafted by others and ourselves. Read it. Memorize it.
ToneMatrix
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
ToneMatrix from aM laboratory is the coolest thing ever. Have your speakers or headphones on.
Bad Paintings of Barack Obama
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009
Enjoy.
And no, this blog’s not dead yet. I’ve just been incredibly busy. That’s changing pretty soon. BBS.
Television Simulator
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
This is too cool. I’d never really considered that emulators can only go so far in re-creating our experience of playing video games in the (in my case) early 80s on big tube CRT televisions.
I wasn’t actually much of an Atari kid. We got Intellivision instead, which was supposed to be “intelligent television”, whatever that [...]
8 Months via iPhone
Saturday, March 14th, 2009
Catch it while it’s hot… (because I just KNOW youtube will remove my video once it’s evil music scanbots realize that I didn’t record myself playing the harmonica for the music on this video):
Little Caesar’s Commercial
Friday, February 27th, 2009
This is a great one from my childhood. I can still hear Jordan Grey reciting the lines from this.
First Audio Post
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
I’ve really enjoyed this short movement from a piece by Darius Milhaud: Musette (3rd movement) from Divertissement en Trois Parties
Unreal Driving
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
Claude Lelouch – C’etait Un Rendezvous
Hit full screen, throw on some headphones, and watch this thing from beginning to end. Unbelievable driving. And unless I’m mistaken, red light means stop, right? Via Horses Think:
[This] film [was] made by Claude Lelouch in 1976 and filmed in a single 9 minute take. “Paris At Dawn On Crack”
Chicago Named Forbes’ Third Most Miserable City
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
From Chicagoist, I was just informed that this city we call home is the worst. Well, 3rd worst. And I can personally attest to 3 of the points they make. It’s a nice place to visit, but…
I Climb a Tree
Monday, February 9th, 2009
I made this video awhile back and never did anything with it. It’s stupid, so don’t watch it. (There’s a better quality version on Vimeo.)
Machadaynu
Thursday, February 5th, 2009
I always have to credit Logan for introducing me to this a few years ago. Be prepared to have this stuck in your head for awhile. Thanks, Logan. Thogan.
The Photographic Dictionary
Thursday, February 5th, 2009
Man, I don’t know where to begin. I’m just gonna’ link it here so I can go back and look through all this stuff.
Zombies Attack Austin
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009
Thanks to my friend Logan, I just found out about the kind of story I would’ve loved to see when I lived in Austin.
I like how they talk about how the hacking of the signs is a very serious matter. No, it isn’t.
Adobe UI Gripes
Thursday, January 29th, 2009
Adobe UI Gripes attacks Adobe for terrible user interface design problems in its software, using terrible language the whole way (so, NSFW? I don’t work in an office, so I really don’t know what constitutes that designation except for the obvious). If you use Photoshop or any Adobe app, you’ll probably enjoy it.
My personal favorite [...]
Stains on The Soup
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
I love The Soup, and I especially love Staines, the dog.
UPDATE: Apparently they took the clip off the E! web site, but it can now be found on YouTube (though it can’t be embedded on this site).
Lawsuit for Photographing Private Property
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
Just read about the interesting outcome in a recent lawsuit against photographer Benjamin Ham who shot on private property, and the foundation that sued him. Worth a read if you’re a photographer. It won’t be interesting if you’re not.
Beard Shaving
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
Here’s the video of me shaving my beard off tonight, timelapse style!
Effington
Monday, January 26th, 2009
I should be recommending the whole album—it’s good and all—but I find myself listening to this ONE track over and over and over again. I tend to do that with certain Ben Folds songs. (NSFW, I guess, btw).
I really wish there was a better (audio quality) recording on YouTube. Unfortunately, they’re all live performances recorded [...]
Band Dorkitudinessismally
Monday, January 26th, 2009
My friend Laurie, from high school, recently asked me through facebook for a recording of our wind ensemble from 1999. Being the ultimate band nerd, I had the recording. It was just a matter of finding it. Anyway, considering there’s no one out there to sue me for posting it, I thought I’d make it [...]
Street with a View
Monday, January 26th, 2009
Street with a View is a collaboration between the folks at Google (Maps) Street View.
On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team and residents of Pittsburgh’s Northside to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Neighbors, and other participants from around the city, staged [...]
Liquid Light Blog
Sunday, January 25th, 2009
My buddy Kyle Petersen, from grad school, started a blog called Liquid Light awhile back. I only recently found it. It’s always good to see your friends/colleagues doing well, and it’s clear that Kyle is making the most of his teaching opportunities out in Utah.
Star Wars Retold

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.
