Zenarchery

So I agreed many months ago to record a version of Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe In Anything” for my friends Alex and Laurenn’s wedding. They wanted to have their first dance to it, but the original is way too fast and indie rawk to slow dance to.

Apparently one of designer Paul Smith’s patterns is a pixel-by-pixel copy of a Flickr image by Robert Hodgin (who wrote the Magnetosphere visualizer that is now the default visualizer in iTunes, and who has also been an immense help to me with my Processing code)!
Robert says, to be fair, that the “birds” in his images [...]

If you were to point your browser here, you might find a special (and ridiculously silly) Red State Soundsystem Halloween cover. Because I love you. And I was really bored on this late Saturday night / early Sunday morning.

Rudy Ray Moore, better known as “Dolemite”, died today. Sigh.

Said, “If you say three more I’ll be steppin on yo [...]

A couple of years ago, I read an article online about a dude who bought a tiny house in Marin County — so tiny he didn’t really have space for all of his computer gear.
So he got himself a wire bread rack, replaced the crappy plastic shelves with hardwood, and stored not only his computer [...]

If you know me IRL, you may have seen me wearing my “Pimp My Jihad” shirt I made a few years ago, with a tricked-out AK-47 on it. Well, here’s Mark II:

I’m pretty proud of this design. It was extremely complex and time-consuming to do. It’s currently up for critique at Threadless. If you like [...]

I broke down and went to UMC.
It wasn’t a salivary stone at all. Mea culpa. I was wrong.
Instead, I have been told that apparently the entire lower half of my skull consists of four severly impacted wisdom teeth. One has punctured my maxillary sinus. Another is disrupting the movement of my jawbone. And this one [...]

So I definitely have a blocked sublingual gland. I’ve been alleviating the symptoms by…well, you don’t want to know. I seem to have a salivary calculus, or stone, in my sublingual gland under my tongue. I’ve been trying to dislodge it (which is ungodly painful), but I think it’s too big. (This just happens sometimes, [...]
