My friend gave me this little lego artist. It’s pretty awesome, and helps me work sometimes:
This Easter the movie The Vinyl Frontier will be playing at NWFF. Artists and the director will be there to answer questions. I can’t watch it due to plans, but you might be able to (may want to call in advance to make sure you’re getting in).
I’ve got some pent up photos. Let’s clean out the backlog to make way for the new. Some of these I may have posted before.
People who are familiar with me know that patronizing explanations and overproduction annoy me.
The style of writing in which the author excessively contorts history into a relatable story annoys me (I’m looking at you, every newsperson/columnist turned author!), laugh tracks annoy me (“this is the part that’s funny!”), and on the TV show Fringe Peter Bishop’s little explanatory asides annoy me. Radiolab’s overproduction and patronization in particular annoys me, which is a shame because it’s a good show otherwise.
In this very very good animation, we are dragged by Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich into the assumption that we’d expect a person to walk straight if they were blindfolded.
Just enjoy the animation, god damn it! I’m sure they mean well.
