Airport Food

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Thursday I got the pleasure of connecting in Midway airport. No biggie as I didn’t have to go through security again (ahem. fuck you ohare). While hanging out in my terminal i got the burning desire to eat. No really, my throat burns if I don’t have food for too long. The selection was slim pickins, but I had the good fortune of eating at

~Oak Street Beach Cafe~
nomnomnom

Holy shit french fries. The fries were made right then and there, and the burger was on a Kaiser roll. The burger itself sort of blew, but everything else rocked. The extra mile? THE RIGHT CONDIMENTS:

Heinz!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been away from the internet a few days.

“Crazy Artist Guy Combines Michael Vick And Another Horse”

from deadspin

Painter Steven Chandler is not a fan of horse racing. This piece is not his first with Michael Vick. He made one last year in response to Barbaro’s death. Last time he donated the money from the sale of his work to charity. This time? “I have an adopted parrot and a bunch of stray cats to feed.” He’s pissed about horse racing being legal and feels it’s just as bad as dogfighting. You can bid on the painting on ebay. Help feed his bird!

Cubs fans just want to see them win one. AARP interviewed a couple of hundred-year-old folks that have been waiting for the Commissioner’s Trophy to come to Wrigley. Tough noogies, guys. This dude looks more than tired.

he just wants a win okay

they’re probably sick of that damn Journey song the White Sox took, too. Noticed on deadspin.

Clay Shirky at the Web 2.0 Expo

Monday, May 12th, 2008

on the next wave of the internet, and where we go from here:

part one:

part two:

Shirky likens Gilligan’s Island and sitcoms to gin. he defends games that suck the user in like WoW, believing “it’s better to do something than nothing!” one of the more exciting ideas about the future of the internet: people that are born into the culture of the internet and computers. they don’t know what it was like in the before times. who knows what they will come up with in the next decade.

he mentions Vasco Furtado, a professor in Brazil who started a wikipage for crime watching. people log in and report assaults and what-have-yous with digital pushpins on a Google map. it isn’t only Brazil that’s on this map. Google does have the world rolled out for you, why not put the pins all over the place? Hopefully this will only produce good things. Wikicrimes.

a big thank you to jessica mullen who directed our class to this particular lecture.

go see it.

jesus fucking christ. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

click to see the giant resolution trailer

i may be a bit of a sucker for men in armor, but i really was not a fan of Robert Downey Jr. no more bashing from me, for i have seen Iron Man. what the fuck, man?!

i'm in your cave building your suits

i’m glad it wasn’t made until now, when Transformers can be done without the cheese factor. the technology to get those fine details that really make a piece work well! the way the final suit connected, the little voice-command doodles in his lab, the 3-D computer modeling with his hands: it was a visual explosion of beauty, craft, and art. special bonus happy fun time for me was watching the evolution of Tony Stark’s body as the story went its course. he definitely got more ripped later in the movie.

if i were Pepper Potts i would be ALL about getting my own suit and up in Stark’s business. by business i mean pants, and by up in i mean him out of them.

the music is a little ehhh. Jeff Bridges - hair = lulz.

PS: indiana jones may 22nd.
