To Type, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth...

Phomemo printer drivers for Linux CUPS Comfortable Shoes Studios experiments with hand-tinting thermal photo prints: HA! Here’s a fun idea that I bet Joe will enjoy:

I’ve been having a great deal of fun and utility from the silly little toy thermal camera that Gregory sent me this past year – it’s really amazing to be able to make illustrative and artsy photographs with Polaroid ease and negligible cost which I can paste into letters or a notebook or simply present […]

I’ve mentioned the films of Peter Greenaway here on occasion, but I don’t get much response on that topic, which is a shame because I’d really like people to experience his films. Greenaway is one of those filmmakers who pretty much never gets mentioned in “best of” lists of films, even ones focused on obscure […]

I’ve been on a bit of a Jim Jarmusch kick lately, powered by some lucky DVD finds at thrifts (you can find near *anything* at thrift store DVD shelves these days, if you’re willing to dig past the many copies of the “Harry Potter” films and the always-present “Inception”), so when I came across this […]

Ehh, I’m not so sure the world needs more Chaos Magic right now, and I’m a Chaos Mage. Kinda already pretty badly unbalanced, if you want my opinion. Currently in the Eyeholes: Heh, this movie always makes me feel better about the swirling maelstrom around me. At least my decapitated friends aren’t biting my butt! […]

Just done bein’ in the eyeholes, and now rattlin’ around the squishy bits: Currently in the eyeholes: Another one Joe would prolly dig.. “I really enjoyed forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people […]

Currently in the eyeholes: The thing that struck me about this film is that if you like the first few minutes of it, you’re gonna like the rest. Well, that and the curiously Japanese tendency to do full frontal censorship by just drawing Barbie Doll anatomy rather than tastefully positioned debris or something. Just strikes […]

Currently in the eyeholes: Funny, as I skim the news today, I recall this quote from Lew Harper in this movie: “The bottom is loaded with nice people – all that rises is cream and bastards…” -Harper

Currently in the Eyeholes. I found another DVD of this film while thrifting with Correspondent Gregory last month, and passed it to him, as I thought he’d really dig it. If he does dig it, then I’d also recommend “Koyaanisqatsi”, “Powaqqatsi”, and “Naqoyqatsi” as films in a similar vein, though this one surprised me by […]

Way back in 1987, when the Salt River still had water in it most of the time. About 10 years ago, that started being so rare that the city ran a temporary road through the bottom of the riverbed to reduce traffic on the overstressed bridge. Well, it’s still there and being used. Do I […]

Well, at least I’ve got a letter from Correspondent Daniel B. to answer. Episode 15 for him! (:

I built the Omega XL Tape Pals box some weeks ago in anticipation of starting a second Tape Pals 3-Way Cassette Letter, and We’ve finally got our Third Agent. Inside the Box! Some new concepts to this particular box; Agent Logs have moved to the J-Card sheet, which left an empty container where the Log […]
