…which one is different, do you know? Can you tell me which thing is not like the others? And I’ll tell you if it is so. You know it’s only a matter of hours before the op-ed cartoons start, featuring Cronkite, Armstrong and MJ together on the Moon. Only one of them doesn’t deserve to be lionized. You […]

Okay, Okay.
I’ll stop whining. Like hell I will. 107 degrees — and stormy. Can you begin to imagine the kind of humidity that means?
Monotony, thy name be desert weather
Sure, it’s consistent — but I mean, come on. It’s weather like this that makes you feel a day lasts an entire month. What the forecast doesn’t show, of course, is the steady 20-mile-per-hour wind that blows in constantly from the west-southwest and feels about as comfortable as standing beside an open kiln for 16 hours at a time. […]
TabletDraw: Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Always, always always, my preferred mode for illustration is pencil and paper, with inking. Of course in our ultra-modern age, that doesn’t always work; Illustrator has taught many to expect very clean, slick graphics that are more or less entirely vector-based. There’s nothing wrong with the look per se; certainly I can work in that format […]
Yes. YES! Respect the n’t!
Nice to know I’m not the only one with a peeve or two. Via The Warehouse.
Braindrizzle with depth
Or the illusion thereof. Click to enlarge. Stare through the monitor until the dots line up.* That is all for now. ==== * This is not one of those cross-eyed images; it’s parallel.
Tour d’oh France
The Beeb has a day in pictures feature, which included this little gem: David Zabriskie got lost, which isn’t the problem — but look who’s sponsoring him. Oops.
Big sky what now?
Montana ain’t got nothin’ on this. As part of an ongoing project to capture images of local … captivations, I’ve recently spent some time roughly north of where I am now, but not by much. I think we’ll start with this one. That vast expanse of blue is what you might call “copy space”. The sky was really cooperating […]
On shrimp, and the lack of cuteness therein
So the latest round of interesting tasks included creating some cute cartoony mascots for the swim lesson age divisions — from infant through about 13 years old. The idea was to create something fun and light, with each age division having its own mascot. The youngest was pollywogs, and the oldest was originally going to be […]
Sunsets
We got ‘em. I actually took this one back in December, but what the heck.
Boy, sometimes things just work
One of our better known physicians is also incredibly busy, and commensurately difficult to nail down for a phởtograph. I went into cahoots with our cath lab supervisor and was able to grab him for about 90 seconds. Shot 12 frames. The best of the lot is below the fold.
Just another reason not to go anywhere near Utah
Early in the era of talkies, a man named Al Jolson put on blackface and issued what is regarded by many today as one of the most shameful performances in American cinema through The Jazz Singer. Possibly the only way for him to be more obnoxious would be to affect a Rochester accent, eat watermelon and fried […]
