Growing brain cells

This is what the book says: an infant needs to sleep so that she can grow new brain cells. And what about papa? Well, I’m getting by, joyfully, but with little time to focus on work, thus my long absence from the blog. The good news is that my daughter was born healthy and strong. [...]

Dear peeps

Deer peeps, due to the impending arrival of my baby daughter, I may be offline for a few weeks. Never fear, I shall be back!

Eco-Logical Art:
Tossed into landfills by the ton weekly, this heavy, ink impregnated material is an environmental nightmare. But ECO-LA takes the indestructible nature of the advertising vinyl and turns it into an asset. In fact the art can even hang on an exterior wall. To date his Off The Wall 1 and 2 indoor/outdoor art [...]

I took these three photos on the same street within a block in Rome. I like how the poster became street art itself.

Turns out I’ve had a sex change. I answered the survey questions and it appears my personality is closest to…

Japanese Situationsism?

This is a deadly serious rant with comical undertones. If Guy Debord were Japanese, I think he would have made this video. I don’t know how well irony works as a communication tool in Japanese culture, but I get it. Ha, ha!

There are just too many darned good visual punchiness in these four little minutes to possibly digest in a lifetime.

Image from the Al-Thawra MySpace page
One of the most interesting things to happen to punk is that it has mutated from a national scene of troubled and rebellious youth to a bunch of little niches that are particular to certain communities. So it is interesting to see what is perhaps inevitable in such a climate, [...]

Education with a twist

Is it art, a public service announcement, or a publicity stunt? Hmmm… You be the judge.
Capla Kesting Fine Art:
“Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth” featuring “The Paris Hilton
Autopsy” offers a cadaveric nude Paris Hilton, laid out with twisted body
and opened abdominal cavity on a coroner’s table, while her cell phone
remains in her grip. The ‘unglamorous’ [...]

A new video from Robert Greenwald (Out Foxed, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price, and Iraq for Sale). Check out the project’s Web site here. He’s offering a competition to change the infamous “Mission Accomplished” banner that was erected behind Bush during is USS Lincoln speech. Some examples so far:
· You love me now, [...]

I used to love his rants in the New York Press before the paper was bought by a bunch of amateurs. Now that Matt Taibbi has found a home for his caustic voice in Rolling Stone, America is better for it. If there is anyone writing now that has the kind of pitch of Hunter [...]

Best band name ever

Elton Junk

One things I miss about the good ol’ days of modernity is the massive output of manifestos that artists and activists churned out to contest the prevailing ideas of their world. With names like Futurists, Surrealists, and Bauhaus, people seemed to care a lot about having clear and strong opinions. With the advent of the [...]

Finally some cogent thought on the truth of war: it’s weird. Face it, why do we do such idiotic, insane things such as conducting modern technological warfare? I’m not trying to be flip. If aliens were to observe modern humans, they’d wonder if we were in some strange kind of rat maze experiment run by [...]
