Yesterday, my neighbor Lee (who’s blind) was coming down the walkway. Our building has a front yard that’s lower than the public sidewalk, so there’s a set of stairs leading down. It had just started snowing earlier in the day, and an inch or two was already on the ground. He was heading down (slowly), …
clikclak is an amazingly well-done animation, and a touching one to boot. Rube Goldberg lovers, this is your film.
Whew, what a game! Reggie Wayne’s ball toggle in the 4th made my heart jump in my throat. Although, I guess it wouldn’t have mattered since there was a penalty for NE on roughing the passer. Still – scary moment. Crazy game, coming back after being down 21-3. Honestly? I’m not a big sports fan. …
I finally bought a copy of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? today, one of my favorite movies ever. I can’t remember when I first stumbled across the film – college sometime, possibly when I was working at the Monroe County Public Library. I always used to wonder why everyone always made a big fuss about …
After work today, Liz and I hopped in my car and headed out to Indiana (to Katie and Dan’s house), where a bunch of her family were gathering to celebrate Darryl’s birthday. After battling the regular outbound Friday traffic, we arrived after about an hour of traffic or so. On walking in, the first thing …
We had an after-work poker game today: and it was a Stein Game to boot! Allison was the last winner of the coveted Lord and Master™ stein, and put it up for grabs on tonight’s game. In addition to the buy-in ($10 each), the winner also got to keep the hefty amount of change that …
Hold on to your jaws when you watch this video. I can’t tell if I’m crying because the technology is so beautiful, or if I’m crying because it’ll be years until it makes its way into the general population. Amazing stuff from Perceptive Pixel.
This animation is hysterical! I’ve taken a screen cap of one of my favorite moments, and the look on this guy’s face is priceless. A bit of a download, but well worth the wait. Thanks to mclarkson, over at Twelvestone for the link.
Billed as TV’s frst video arcade game show, Starcade had its contestants battling each other on video game trivia, as well as actual gameplay. Originally aired in the early 1980′s, the show featured games like Zaxxon, Congo Bongo, Star Trek and Journey, to name a few. Ten full episodes are available online, for those of …
Ever since I saw it in an episode of West Wing (College Kids), I’ve been looking around for Aimee Man’s cover of James Taylor’s “Shed a Little Light.” So, it seems, have a lot of other people, with no success. What can I say? I’m a sucker for West Wing stuff. In addition to the …
These are some haunting photographs/stories of the homeless, by Tom Stone. Take some time out of your day, and look/read through these portraits. These stories will linger with you the rest of the day.
So – all that fabric Liz bought yesterday? She liked the bag mentioned on BoingBoing a few weeks back, but decided she could spend less money by making it herself. So… she took her supplies and we headed down to Frankfort (where I hung out with her family, and she worked with her mom to …
A few day back, I saw a great post on Ektopia. This is as cool as it is simple: Abstractor. I’ve seen other, similar TV-based projects on Ektopia before (Groovetube and TV-Filter), but this one is as cheap and as simple as it gets. Tonight, Liz and I decided to give it a go using …
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
