i am in love.
i picked up the photograys (400) set yesterday and i have a cute little owl sitting on my desk now.
pixelblocks™ have only been around for a year, but their online retailers seem to be sold out of most or all of their sets! more versatile than legos and more structurally sound as well (i could drop this owl and it probably wouldn’t come apart), plus translucent!
did they read any of the actual post before writing all of those comments?? don’t they realize that this guy just went to see the show?? what idiotic chaos. i was going to leave a comment that said something like “DON’T YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THIS IS JUST A GUY AND NOT MAURY HIMSELF??” but then i got scared that they would start spamming my blog too.
thanks to mike at poofle for the link.
an anti-bush ad is scheduled to be shown across the united states this weekend. go here to see all the winners and finalists.
fark: does it taste like tuna or chicken?
here in the outer office we’re used to all sorts of weird noises coming from the ceiling and the furnace/ac unit which is perched right outside our door. we’re used to the screeching noise like a car peeling out that usually accompanies the roar of the blower coming to life, pushing air through the 2 foot wide pipes that hang over our heads. we’re even used to the banging from the workman crawling around in the access space above the women’s bathroom (right next door).
but today.
today there was no screech just a sudden accelerating rush of air that sounds sort of like when you sit with your head pressed against a furnace or maybe you sit under a waterfall. louder. and louder.
and then kate noticed it. the smell. the burning carpet chemical toxic smell that even as i sit here is getting stronger.
ew.
i love tetris
so i promised some sort of trip update and…it’s not going to happen. at least not in the multimedia-photo-and-laser-show sort of way i had hoped. later i’ll maybe post some pics of the most beautiful sunset ever and me in a big goofy yellow cowboy hat and me schmoozing with a giant stuffed stoned bear and eric being engulfed by the earth’s vagina…but for now i’ll just say that new mexico was awesome and i think you all should go there. beautiful!
addendum: as we were flying out of the albuquerque airport (a day late since our flight to denver was cancelled…but they put us up in a great hotel room and a free dinner!) i could see an archaeological dig down in the valley! it was so cool!
links du jour:
you know, i was going to change this entry and replace the pdf with a gif…but you know what? if your browser can’t display embedded pdfs, then maybe you should get safari. i know some of you out there are already crawling all over all of the osX dock rip-offs for windows. stop denying it and just buy a mac already.
