Several weeks ago, NASA crashed a satellite into the moon. In the process, they found water, several white buckets full. I think we can all sleep easier now knowing that once we completely deplete our own planet of water (any year now according to Al Gore), us resource gluttons can simply hop into Richard Branson’s White Knight Two and get some cherry sno-cones on the moon.
Relax, I wouldn’t post it if someone was decapitated. Plus, only here can you view all three angles at the same time! I found it interesting that Angle 1 revealed a fairly bustling station, while Angle 3 made it appear that nobody was really around really.
Plus, let’s hear it from the local news how this woman came to pass out in the face of certain doom:

Now that you know where I’ll be Saturday night, November 14, it’s time you found out what it’s going to take to be watching the fight as well. If you’re a boxing fan, I don’t need to convince you in the least; if you’re not a fan yet, there is no better way into the sport than with this fight. See you there!
Thanks, Marco!

I have to admit, I’m a little too young to have much insight into the cultural relevance of Will Wegman in his younger days, but happened upon some strange films he made in the 70’s and 80’s which may have renewed my respect for the Anne Geddes of the dog world. Check them out…
In my line of work I spend a lot of time searching on stock sites for imagery. I use this mostly as a tool to express concepts to clients, hoping to find useful, relevant imagery for my presentations. But as some of you may know, for every one good image on a stock site, you must sift through dozens of inappropriate, and sometimes downright baffling other images. In this section I will share some of my findings.
Okay, first up I needed to find some imagery of people holding food, and I needed there to be cheese on the dishes they were holding. Sounds simple enough. I didn’t have tons of faith I would find many images like this (and I was right) but I had a sneaking suspicion I’d come across a couple questionable finds. I was right. Here you go…
Not sure I need many words for the above image, but suffice to say, it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
Typical, the woman wants the man’s attention, but the man only has eyes for his M&M cheese pizza.
This is a literal example of someone holding cheese. I can only assume this guy is checking the ripeness of his cheese wheel, but man, it’s a strange image nonetheless. I was tempted to use it just for effect.
Got this spam mail the other day. The subject was “Happy Teachers Day”. Apparently on Teachers Day, I can get Viagra and Cialis for cheap, which is great to know. And I guess it’s customary to also recite strange, abstract poetry on Teacher’s Day as well, though I’m only theorizing.
For some reason this email didn’t make it into my Junk folder. Personally, I think it was because of how awesome it was. I almost went online to buy some Cialis just to support the makers of this spam.
This is probably one of the best breakdowns of VFX in a film or TV show I’ve seen yet. Now I need to see a breakdown of the breakdown, which is quite a production unto itself.
Seriously, it says it right on the tag! And is the logo suposed to resemble the PRADA logo? I can’t tell any more.

The train was packed, but this woman (who was not transient in the least) seemed to have little regard for the other passengers. You’ll notice a man standing in the corner of frame.
Some people are just too nice to say anything, myself included. Still, it was worth snapping the shot, if for no other reason than to share this little piece of humanity with you.
You never know what you’ll find on a bathroom train. Both of these signs were in the same bathroom, in fact. The two signs in the first image seem at odds with one another, while in the second image, I felt like that sign ought to practice what it’s preaching.
Saw this parked out in front of my workplace today. WTF? Was hoping to get a George Jetson autograph, but there were only a few teamsters loitering the vicinity.
For those of you unfamiliar with the movie business, “background” refers to extras on a shoot. And yes, that is a dark hallway leading seemingly nowhere.
Some people call this the drunkest guy ever captured on video, but I wonder if there’s something mystical at play here. The way I see it, this man is completely sober, but someone has hexed him with having an eternal hill to climb, no matter where he goes, no matter how flat the ground beneath his feet.
You be the judge, and thanks for the reco Elz!
P.S. The surveillance video freezes a couple times, no need to adjust your screens, just wait it out.
In a surprising twist of fate (long-time readers/haters will know what I mean), Digital Kitchen have been ripped off.
I will show you a series of images (how Freudian of me), and they will alternate between original still-frames from Digital Kitchen’s Dexter title sequence, and a series by the Getty Images photographer A. Carmichael.
It is worth noting that the Dexter title sequence was completed in the middle of 2006, while A. Carmichael (according to a correspondence with Getty directly) had uploaded their series only a few months ago. It is also worth nothing that I was able to get the director of the Dexter title sequence to pinky swear that he indeed does not own a time machine and therefore could not have travelled to the future to glean the images you will find on Getty.
As always, this is my opinion of course (see the tagline of my blog!), but I will be very interested to see what you viewers think.
Enjoy!
