my arms feel heavy
off to a good start
Watch David Gallo shows jaw-dropping footage of amazing sea creatures, including a color-shifting cuttlefish, a perfectly camouflaged octopus, and a Times Square’s worth of neon light displays from fish who live in the blackest depths of the ocean. more amazing animal videos and intelligent people talking about them…sometimes I think I went into the wrong field. I never watch a video about...
Watch …Klein discusses crows creating and using tools, using human fishing gear, using cars to open nuts, and much more. Okay, so Klein demonstrates that crows are smart. But what can we do with this information? Watch his ten-minute talk to learn how Klein used Skinnerian training to create a “Crow Vending Machine” in which crows exchange lost coins for peanuts.

Insects/Spiders - a set on Flickr →
Probably one of the most terrifyingly beautiful photo sets I’ve seen. I never thought I would say that about pictures of insects — which there seems to be an awful lot of on flickr — but the colors and detail are pretty incredible. The set description says ‘most were taken with a macro bellows’ … I’m not sure what that means but I think it translates to ‘I was able to take...
Jack and I are making a bucket list… more details to come.

Sara and I just had a solid phone conversation: Here are the minutes before I forget: Random stand up … 2 drink minimum Swankles, solid, grapple, gremlin (gralemon?)

Watchwhateverlolawants: There are certain parts of this standup that have stuck with me for years. “Have you ever been having sex with someone and you just want to punch them in the face?” Also, the: “Ford Ranger Fear of Intimacy Cab” When you don’t want to bring it indoors because it’s too weird. Or When you can’t go to his house and he doesn’t want to go to yours. (overit:toomuchawesome) you...

New MP3 Revolutionizes Way You Listen to Music →
Korean computer engineers are introducing a new digital music format that has a six-channel audio equalizer and separate controls on the sound volume for each musical instrument, such as guitar, drum, base and voice. The new format, which has a file extension format of MT9 and a commercial title of “Music 2.0″, is poised to replace the popular MP3 file format as the de-facto standard of the...
we ain't in Kansas anymore...
It is fan-fucking-tastic out there today. I just got back from a bike ride in Highland park, which has been my sanctuary as of late (fo reals). Apart from the whole being a park thing the area is incredibly nice. However, as with any neighborhood I guess there are good parts and there are bad parts. Never has this been more true than in Highland park. For example, one minute I’m...
Do You Like the new Jason Mraz CD? →
jeremywatt: I’m still waiting to fall in love with the new Jason Mraz CD - We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. There’s a few obvious songs that I’m enjoying, but I’m not in that ‘play it front to back’ mode as of yet. I like it but I would have to agree. I feel like it is very top heavy — I think the first 6-7 tracks are good but I’m not feeling the rest of the CD. Was it...
Eagle Eye Trailer
Shia is everywhere! I’m pretty sure that the $126 million that Indiana Jones brought in over the Memorial Day weekend ensures he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon —- and I am OKAY with that. I just saw a teaser trailer for a new movie called Eagle Eye which IMDB has labeled as post-production. Set for release September 26th. looks intense!
review: send a bullet
Send a Bullet is a documentary-style film about the corruption and class warfare in Sao Paulo, Brazil —a place where kidnapping is rampant, even the extremely wealthy don’t feel safe, and corrupt politicians embezzle untold amounts of money from reform initiatives (SADUM). With a population of over 20 million it is virtually impossible to police. Crime hasn’t only been...
Paranoid Park isn’t doing it for me. I don’t think it’s bad, and i’ll probably go back and finish it at some point, but it just isn’t what I was in the mood for tonight. Switching gears: next up Send a Bullet
It’s been a Dave Matthew and Death Cab kind of day for me… I can dig it.
