So I got this really good book a while ago, from a suggestion of this piece of pastry I know, Muffin. It’s a really good, inspirational book. It combines the basic foundations of drawing with general artistic brainstorming and free-thinking. I would say it’s more suited to people who haven’t really ever flexed their creative parts of their brain, but if you feel a bit dried out and have done that stuff at one point, it’s really a nice refreshing take.
Lots of random inspiration, slappin you around and stuff, getting you to quit with the procrastination and develop some good habits if you’ve let bad ones develop.
One of the suggestions it had was something called an electron fast. I believe he adapted it from another person or concept or something. The point of his electron fast is to remove yourself from anything that would take your attention. TV, Movies, but also things like books, etc. Once you’ve done this you’ll be able to appreciate how all of these things steal your time away and distract you and make you think about being places and doing things other then where you are and what you need to do.
I think I have a good grasp of these things, but it made me think. I’m going away to New Mexico Once I set foot on the southwest soil, I’m going on an electron fast of my own. No computatores, no internetting, and then as little other ‘technology’ as possible. I have a few books I want to read, and a book/journalything or two to write in.
I have been so damn busy at work and at home with freelance crap, I just need a damn break.

Music is never without context. Digital music context isn’t nearly as good as it could be. Context is where the opportunity is and therefore where the innovation will be. The next five years is gonna be fun. I think we’re finally going to see some innovation in digital media.
An awesome historic look of the progression of MP3 and ‘MP3 culture’.
This week was crazytime. We talk about randomness, this week. We had a healthy tangent about communication. The evolution of the forms of chatting, like voice chat, text chat, as well as the evolution of tangents. We beacon the world for real bloodsports, because the news week sucked. Also, we don’t care about E for All Expo. Not one bit~ What a weird show.

Evilzug is like the George Costanza of the internets in that they both did something great at least 100 years ago but have since failed to produce any lulz whatsoever in anything they do. Evilzug has slowly descended over the years from the creator of one of the greatest flash videos ever made before that medium was taken over by furfags and otaku basement dwellers to actually creating and working for neopets, which is the internets equivalent of lounge singing.
Holy cow. Stung a bit at first, but it’s all basically true. I WAS FAMOUS ON THE INTERNET AT ONE POINT. If there was an internet convention, I’d be sitting with the equivalent of the old pro wrestlers at conventions who haven’t worked in 10 years and selling my autographs for 20$. I’m flattered that someone has been keeping track of me for as long as this has been, probably 8 or so years now?
Feel free to add and enhance ^_^
