google thyself

Like all good people, I googled myself. You never know what you'll get. This is from google images. I should probably google myself more often...

Try it yourself for full results. (i know it's vain, but what's a blog if not e-vanity?)

Of course this has to do with a photographer with my name, but it's still a little surreal...and sexy.

Want a Blue Man For Less Green?

My brother and his wife got Monday off so they decided to make a trip to Vegas. We went to see the
Blue Man Group; first time I've ever seen that, second time for them. It's a great show, and I'm always amazed that they can pull off 2 shows every night. I read that Spamalot is coming to the Wynn here in Las Vegas, and will be here for the next 10 years. I can't wait to see it! I don't think it ever made it's way to Atlanta, otherwise I would have caught it there.

Oh, and here's a picture of one Michael regarding one 'Blue Man'.

The sad truth is I rarely get my butt to the drawing desk, instead choosing to recreate with a book or with World of Warcraft and a movie. I hope to get my ink in gear and try to work on improving myself beyond a 5th grade drawing level.

At work on my Linux laptop I am iTunes impaired, however I like to use this super-simple tool to pull down my favorite NPR and various other podcasts: bashpodder. All command-line and super easy to configure. NPR Podcast list.

missin' the fishin'

If there's one thing I do miss out here, it's the fish. You can't just stop off on the way back from work to drop a line in, and Caesar's Palace doesn't take kindly to trolling the fountains. This picture here's as close as I get to fishing these days.

Think I'll start my own fish hatchery in the tub...

Also, I found this great video of a large touch-screen being used as a digital work surface:

Chief Runs with Scissors

Well, back to the same'ol. How you doin? Seen any good movies lately? Which is your favorite Baldwin brother? My favorite is the one with no nipples.

White people smell like lemons and Pledge

I'm hanging out at the World Market Center today. Fun stuff. Huge furniture convention; Biggest one in the country I think. Three huge permanent tents and a 10 story building full of furniture. I haven't seen this many sofas since the Great Sofa Glut of '63 (not to be confused with the Fondue Explosion of '78). Dangerous place, I saw a chased lounge looking pretty ragged. hyuk!
