so, i'm in the process of moving. it's been about 6 years, and i've gone from being 24 to almost 30. a lot has changed. things that were once shiny and new are now obsolete and broken. i find myself pulling boxes out of the closet, and throwing away 90% of what's in them. printouts from when i used to have a job (i work for myself now), drivers ed stuff (i ride a bike now), an endless stream of old PC parts (i use a macbook now). hundreds of CD-Rs (who needs a cd when you can download anything in a couple minutes?), college papers (i graduated 10 years ago), letters from old girlfriends (they're long gone)... it's good. less stuff to pack, right? i'll neve…

Okay this is the hypothetical situation: Uploading has been proven to be possible and it's free. For the sake of having a fairly straightforward discussion, there are no concerns about the people/company who run the simulation. Let's say the world is a utopia in terms of politics, money and power. The only possibility here is to permanently upload into a virtual world not into a humanoid robot or some kind of immortal avatar that acts in the physical world. The graphics are almost indistinguishable from "reality" and there is almost unlimited potential to create new virtual environments. The main world within the simulation is a shared space for everyo…

"The Eel" (2004) by Dominic Hailstone
by Guest ansgaria- 5 replies

I stumbled upon this lad, Dominic Hailstone, who apparently did the creature effects for the 'Come to Daddy' video (I assume it's the tall, screaming one) "The Eel" http://vimeo.com/2089565 Be sure to watch it through to the end. This had me making strange faces even more than "Rubber Johnny" did back when I first saw it. It's so unbelievably nightmarish. And done with 300 bucks. Shit. Good night.

The bracketology begins! First thing, I've altered the nomenclature of the tournament to be in-line with last year's tournament (last year's tournament was called "2011 Most IDM Tournament"). I apologize to all the fans for departing from tradition. This tournament is just one of a great annual tradition. There are some interesting line-ups this year. Right off the bat, we start with a match-up between past favourite Ulillillia and this year's top seed Abandoned cities. Experience versus rookie momentum: who will win? I'm also very curious to see who will win in the match-up between Not being able to explain yourself verbally and Social anxiety. I should also …

I don't understand women. i just don't. I've been together with this girl now for almost 2 months and now all of a sudden she says that it's too soon for a new relationship, that she hasn't gotten over her ex, and that I'm too paranoid over her, which i maybe am, but shes a bit older than me too ( I'm 17, she's almost 21) so it's only natural to be a little afraid what she's doing behind my back, especially since she cheated on her ex, first with this other guy, and then with me, but i mean wtf man we've been going on for almost 2 months and now all of a sudden she thinks it's too soon.. well FUCK THAT SHIT ! Well, atleast i got more time for making music now, Ev…

i'm really beginning to loathe my job as an art director/creative director/designer. everyone tries to do my job and tell me what to do but only after I have created something from my head. then they descend like a pack of vultures so they can say what they want done even though they haven't a creative bone in their body. they have to lift their leg on the project to justify their meaningless jobs. I'm lost as to what to do. find a new studio? change careers in my late 30s? I keep going through the same thing.

Atlatls and Spears

I'm going to either make a bone spear or atlatl and attempt to kill large local game.. I have came very close to deer while sprinting through the forest so I don't think it will take me very long to kill one at range. Some deer bolt quick but not all of them do, some folly or choose a dangerous path. I'm pretty sure I would feel obligated after my first kill to try every part of the animal worth eating, offal, organ, the works.. I've never ate much offal and have no idea what it tastes like. Is the stuff actually good or does it take some good cooking to bring to flavor? If it tastes like shit i'll give up on killing and continue eating local market meat. Deer meat …

I want to stress "cool". Not just by what they did, but by who they are, image wise. IE: Mother Theresa doesn't count. You get it. I nominate Lou Reed for first place... and Sid Vicious in 2nd place...
