Trisha Solyn’s Reels

Here is yet another example of a case for launching first, with basic functionality, and refining later (though we haven’t gotten to the refining yet).
Cybil’s sister needed to share her film reel to get DP gigs and interviews (she’s in the graduate program at NYU). I had just moved over to a new host that […]


Kershaw E.T.

Reminiscent of this paratrooper knife I used to have (though I imagine less self-dulling). I dig knives with unique opening mechanisms, especially those where gripping the handle locks the knife open (like with a butterfly). In reality for actual outdoor jobs I prefer a straight sheath knife, and for handyman jobs the leatherman wave […]


The Rasterbator

One of the few “modern art” devices I’ve ever found that appealing is when they take a photo of a flower or something, blow it up real huge, print it out in little pieces, and mount each piece separately with an inch or two gap between them. Here’s a tool that facilitates this technique. And […]


Words I Can Easily Type With My Left Hand

My list:

I
a
you
keep
pee
pox
quip
yep
yuppie
joke

But then again I’m on a dvorak keyboard, intentionally designed to be balanced between left and right.
What we really need to play this game properly (i.e. as dorkily as possible) is a scrabble assistant program. Maybe Google Suggest will help…


MaleContraceptives.org

Not often that I encounter a website where I fully intend to read every word on every page. Here’s one.


Town won’t let unmarried parents live together

I have this theory that there is one particular war in our country’s history that we might be better off had we lost it: the civil war. I keep telling myself that we aren’t actually living in a country of “red states” and “blue states” as the media would like to simplify it, but that […]


Kolibri Art Studio

The paintings page on this site continues to garner attention, specifically the Lillian Shao. A representative from Kolibri Art Studio was the latest in a string of people, dealers and individuals, to contact me regarding Cybil’s favorite painting (my favorite is the Tomasz Rut, ’cause I’m an ass man). This representative was kind enough to […]


Cybil’s New Studio

 

A full post with pictures of the location will follow later, for now you’ll have to settle with a tricked out google map.

May 22 Update: Here’s a photo I snapped of Cybil in her new studio. It’s still a work in progress, but mostly functional.

May 31 Update: here’s a jpeg of The Sign that’s going […]


2008 Honda Fit Hybrid to get Insight engine

“Guess what happens to fit perfectly between the front wheels of a Honda Fit… the Honda Insight’s hybrid powertrain.”


gristlestick

My brother’s band’s album is out. Based on the new songs on Myspace, the production value is top notch, lyrics are much crisper than the earlier songs they posted to myspace.com/gristlestick. Oh, and everyone’s singing now. Update: they’ve got some Lyrics up on the site, and their album Flesh Tunes is available for purchase […]
