a gentlemen’s duel

Here’s another brilliant animated short from Blur Studio called A Gentlemen’s Duel. You might remember the fanastic Rockfish I posted about ages ago. Trust me on this one. It starts off kind of shitty even though the animation is great, but then it takes a turn for the fantastic. Well work your downloading time.

A gentlemen's […]

budapesht

That’s how they say it. “Budapesht” even though hey spell it “pest”. Budapest. I snuck away to there last weekend for 5 days for a good friend’s wedding. A few people from Dubai were able to make it for the wedding and a few days of R&R. I took 1077 photos in 5 days. I […]

concoction

Instant coffee. Non-dairy creamer. Artificial sweetener.
I feel like I am going to turn into Mr. Hyde if I drink this bubbling concoction. But I am going to drink it, if just to avoid going all the way downstairs and dealing with the moron convention behind the counter of the canteen.
Horrible but caffeinated.

freelance photography

I’m not really a good photographer at all. Digital cameras offer me what they offer nearly every other hobbyist on the web - quality through quantity. My shot-to-halfway-decent-photo-ratio is about 10%, which means that for every 100 photos on Flickr, I have taken 1000. I have 1,308 photos on Flickr right now. That’s 130,800 photos […]

9/11 aftermath aftermath

Fuck you John. You are an ignorant piece of shit. If there ever is another 9/11 I hope your wife and children are at ground zero.

Right on Jon. Keep on telling it like it is. You’ve changed politics forever with your honesty and wit. But there is still a long way to go.

A rare gem of an article on the cover of Emirates Today this morning: SUPERDAAD!
A one-legged father-of-78 is preparing for his next two marriages as he closes in on his target of having 100 children by 2015. UAE national Daad Mohammed Murad Abdul Rahman, 60, has already had 15 brides, though he divorces wives to […]

rice paddy art

This is an old one that’s been sitting in my drafts for a few weeks. In case you missed it the first time around, there is a town in Japan famous for the works of art farmers create in their rice fields by mixing purple leafed rice in with their green leafed rice. These enormous […]

Finally, western culture has completely infiltrated the Arab world. We’ve won. Or lost. I’m not sure. Tik Tik Taktaka will confuse you too.

Seriously.

beautiful destruction

Martin Klimas creates the most beautiful photographs by destroying the most delicate and beautiful things. I am inspired by this work. Using really high shutter speeds, good lighting, and I assume a rapid fire trigger finger, he captures the moment as the ceramics burst apart. The one below is my favorite, but there are a […]

20% of Americans can’t find the US on a world map

20% of Americans can’t find the US on a world map and Miss South Carolina knows why.

“uh…the Iraq…”
Here’s what she should have said,
A fifth of Americans can’t find the US on a map because they are just like me: superficial, shallow, sheltered, religious, uninterested, uninteresting, and dumb. Our education system in shambles. We waste money […]

black lotus

I have been a fan of Andrew Bell’s Creatures in my Head for years now. I just love him imagination, illustration style, and sense of humor. I own his ‘Now You’ve Done It‘ book, and I recently jumped at the opportunity to buy a limited edition skateboard deck he just created.
This BLACK LOTUS Skateboard Deck […]
