“The artist doesn’t have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don’t have the time to read reviews.”

-William Faulkner

I caught the YouTube video of the Space X – Falcon 1 spacecraft. The first privately developed spacecraft to orbit the Earth. I ripped the video to a quicktime, and edited it in Adobe After Effects. I took a cue from Pink Floyd’s Echoes to give it that ethereal feel, I can’t get enough of that song. If you notice, the choir sings their ghostly tune just as the rocket booster is heating up. It just so happened to line up that way. Enjoy.

The Basque are a Northern-Spain / Southern-France region of peoples who consider themselves neither Spaniards nor French. I randomly came upon a numbering system used by millers.

I was immediately fascinated by the graphical / visual nature of the numbering system. It all seems fairly logical, and easy to ‘add up’ – so to speak. A cool idea would be to make a concert poster with the number information displayed this way with a ‘legend’ or ‘key’ on the corner of the poster / invitation.

Being that I used to work for G4tv and Attack of the Show, I get a ton of 14 year old fans of G4 adding me on MySpace.

I got tired of ignoring them or sending them tersely worded MySpace messages about how it’s not in my personal MySpace policy to add people I don’t know…so I just started adding them instead. My how times have changed, This is my latest random IM’er.
