Optical Confusions

May 25, 2010

Pretty sure this was not the intended effect, but if you stare at this for too long it starts moving. Kind of awesome.  (via gbh.tv) (not that I’m affiliated with this thing whatsoever, but in the interest of being a kind person, you can click on the poster to RSVP)

Umm.

This happened while I was searching amazon for new coathangers to purchase. Disturbing.

The Pool-less Parties

July 14, 2009

It’s officially summer in NYC, and I know because the Pool Parties are back in action. Only this year, they’re not actually at a pool, since McCarren Pool has closed to be restored to it’s former glory as – you guessed it – a pool. Last year, this Sunday ritual was the absolute highlight of [...]

The Great Irony –

June 14, 2009

Banksy’s latest work: An ‘exhibit’ at the City Museum and Art Gallery in Bristol, England. Watch the video. Sit through the BBC presenter’s rather watered-down explanation of the exhibit, talking about Banksy’s infamous ‘chicken nugget‘ installation as a ‘sort of…statement about fast food’. The real gem is at the end (about 1:53), when you find [...]

X

May 31, 2009

Rather Perplexting

May 15, 2009

Please pardon my appearance while I change.

May 14, 2009

I’ve decided to once more revive the idea of putting some type of commentary on the internet. I’m even so serious I put up a ‘blog’ link on my website navbar. Take that! I’m kinda in the process of designing a theme and whatnot, but in the meantime, I thought I’d get things set up [...]

Australia

March 6, 2009

It’s been a few weeks due to a recent visit to Australia and the following Jetlag. Also busy with a billion new projects since I got back – and finishing off some from before I left. Photos and updates from the trip to oz coming. I promise.

Hawaii.

January 26, 2009

I always knew how vast America was. It’s large, densely populated (of course relative to Australia, everything is). But a daytime flight to Hawaii certainly made me more aware of that fact. The flight path for NY > HI takes its course coast to coast, and the older, veteran NY’er with whom I struck up [...]
