This is rad – finally a little motorbike of the future that is not as lawn-mower-esque as the Segueway. ++++ Too bad it is not actually in production yet (or maybe ever) though.

Whoa!! i never knew this existed: Latino-Jewish Hiphop

Well well, long time no blog. Here are some diversions for ya=

Why talk, when your pants can say everything for you? The days of semaphore being something just for those landing planes or piloting ships are over. $$$

And here are some images I found interesting out there on the West Coast &&&
(BTW= officially, I would like to rename what used to be known as the East Coast to the Atlantic West Coast, so stick it in yer socks, Californians, who, after electing Rambozo, have shamed the West Coast name)

This will give you some idea of the scope of the fires out in the LA/San Diego area today – watching the news last night, its just horrific. Everything seems to be on fire. There is even thinned out smoke and occasional bits of ash drifting over Santa Monica and Culver City.

Was looking up Hilti Shot Pins and came across this page.. crazy caver rock exploding advice? Here is a tidbit:

“Also, remember that if you ARE there, or maybe your head’s in the bucket, your vis will fall instantly to zero when the rock dust blasts from the hole. Underwater cave shaving is not to be taken lightly. Cave diving is the most dangerous sports pursuit possible and setting off explosions next to your head at the end of a 500m sump is like Neil Armstrong taking up nude tiger sucking.. with his head in a bucket.”

Went to see this show at Peres Projects this weekend. Rocks. Hope to have photos up bythis weekend. Look at these for now though. peres projects | Various Artists : HOVERING

“It’s strange that fire moves in this and has eyes. Oh no, the fire’s coming. It’s going to eat you. Are these barrels alive, too? Everything’s alive. And Donkey Kong’s mouth is made of pluses. Look: Plus, plus, plus, minus. They’re trying to teach you math by brainwashing you.”

Kids play and comment on the video games we grew up on. Hilarious, and old feeling making, especially as this is my 29th birthday. Read the part about the ET game, I just almost spit coffee on my computer…Kids Play
