Now, I realize that making fun of the mentally ill is probably not the classiest thing to do. I mean I do it… without remorse. The thing is, that maybe, maybe you should be a little more careful when you are broadcasting your show to a smallish city of about a million people with a good chance that someone out there listening lives within a few blocks of the mental case you are mocking. All this said, The Stalker Tapes that Josh Holliday, from X 92.9, is broadcasting on the radio at 5:10 every day, and posting on his blog are effing hillarious.
Or so I thought, until I heard today’s… which hasn’t been posted yet. That one put the fear in me. This thing had a surprise scary ending that put any horror movie to shame. I don’t know how soon it will get posted, but until then, go ahead and listen to the archives.
Call 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
UPDATE: I’ve just been listening to them in sequence and off the radio they seem less believable. I guess it’s probably a gimmick. Still entertaining though.

This photo made it to Explore on Flickr, which is pretty cool I think. Go on and click on the photo so I can get more views and maybe keep it in there for a bit longer. 
Here is a link to see my “Flickr DNA” on the Big Huge Labs website, which tells me if my photos are in Explore.
Also, I have a set that keeps track of my most “interesting” photos according to some sort of algorithm. Read the rest of this entry »
I wish I had the balls to send out Some E Cards. So many of them are fitting for my life right now. Actually, some are more suitted for me to receive. Ouch.

From the Brooklyn Museum Website:
This scene depicts the area known as Yamashita (“Below the Mountain”) in Ueno Park. The abstract band of pink and yellow represents the famous cherry blossoms of Kan’eiji Temple (“The Mountain”). The small shrine hidden in the woods is Gōjō Tenjin, and the adjacent restaurant is Iseya, which advertises a rice dish blended with pickled shiso, a minty herb. The procession of parasol-covered women in the lower left corner may be a group of ladies-in-waiting. Stopping to gaze at them is a group of commoners, somewhat awkwardly diminished in size.
They have a great thing there, where you can zoom in on the print to see the detail. Give it a shot. I just noticed as I published this blog entry, the prints are the same aspect ratio as modern cameras. I guess 2:3 is pretty common, but it’s still kind of neat.
Ueno park and the shopping district near it is one of my favourite places in Tokyo. When anyone came out for a visit, or I got new room-mates it was the first place I took them. All were suitably impressed. I have some photos of Ueno on Flickr.

I got paid today and that means I have my pro status back at Flickr. That means you can go and see old gems like this one.
The Musalman is possibly the last handwritten newspaper in the world. Four professional calligraphers spend three hours on each page every single day to put out this daily paper.
I love stuff like this. I just bought a book on hand lettering. I probably won’t do too much with it, but I figure even just reading about it is good for my design sensibility.
