Preproduction_Crisis

Some of you have been subjected to the prototype of Causality_Crisis.
Having learned from your trials, criticisms, and reactions I've begun to craft the followup.
Here are some images for you:

Chevron Lives Again!

Spent most of the day dodging real work and messing around with the projector instead.
This has yielded positive results... in the sense that it is now working, not in the sense that I've dedicated an entire day to an obsolete medium.

Promaster 521 TL & Kodak Chevron 8

Went to Goodwill yesterday.
Made the purchase of an 8mm film camera and projector, neither of which work.
Now to try to fix them.

Google is...

Lately I've obsessed myself with attempts at getting a better hold on what the Internet is thinking.
One of the more amusing attempts came from a google screenshot someone showed me displaying the search results for the phrase "Chinese people are..."

Taking it a step further I made my own collection of screenshots from google involving the intimate and unprincipled relationships of human dichotomy.

Three of my favorites so far:
Men are like waffles women are like spaghetti
Young people are no longer interested in buying newspapers or magazines in print format...
Fat people are harder to kidnap


Men are...


Women are...


Old people are...


Young people are...


Atheists are...


Religious people are...


Black people are...


Chinese people are...


Hispanic people are...


Japanese people are...


Jewish people are...


White people are...


Immigrants are...


Myspace is...


Facebook is...


Twitter is...


Fat people are...

What a challenge, these blues!

For those of you who enjoy film, jazz, folklore, animation, culture, and tales that transcend time and space -even if the one's telling it can't exactly get all the elements straight- I urge you to check out the charming animated feature, Sita Sings the Blues (by Nina Paley), if you have not already.

Self;Aware

Do you remember when you became self aware?

I understand most people ask this question with, "What is your earliest memory?"

Perhaps they're different questions.

Laplace's Demon

Sometimes when I make a purchase I’ll try to follow the event backward, figure out what lead up to it, what advertisements I was I exposed to, when did I first hear about the product, what sparked my initial interest?
Advertising agencies know a great deal about us, which is what makes it so bloody amusing whenever someone will boldly state how, “Advertising has no effect on me.”
Well, they have a demographic for you too.
Humans are hard wired to respond to various stimuli, all of which these agencies know, know you might know, and know you know they know you might know and might resist.
They study it all and they know that an ad crafted for the demographic of Special K, Yogurt, and Advanced Therapy Lotions is not supposed to work on the demographic for Energy Drinks, Maxim Magazine and 4 Fast 4 Furious.
However, if it somehow does they’ll just adapt whatever worked from that model and move on.

Is this control, or is it providing you with information you would agree with anyways?
