I am completely amazed and speechless about this video. I’ve seen animals painting abstract objects, but this is a literal image, clear and recognizable. This shows real thinking, creative intelligence, and ability to express a narrative about a situation visually. Art is so awesome….this elephant is able to demonstrate to people what it likes! [...]

 March 29, 2008 | category: paranormal You’ve got to wonder when things like this happen if there is a definitive threshold between the body’s ability to house a life force or not, or if re-animation technology is more than the myth of a George Romero film. This also raises interesting questions about what is lost or gained in every case of a person “dying” and “coming back”. The crazy thing is if we figured out some way of channeling the energy into a different vessel or infrastructure. This would be one way of working towards prolonging the life cycle indefinitely. Perhaps this would be the foundation towards the birth of sentient AI. The difference in thinking is that it wouldn’t be the technology that births awareness, rather awareness harnessed to a new stasis of existence that spawns the technology. ….If it came to that we would not longer function as humans, as our brand of interaction with reality is a large factor in who we are as a species.
continue reading man declared brain dead, alive and well today March 28, 2008 | category: television I like watching gameshows that test a person’s ability to NOT get owned. You would be right in assuming my levels of happiness to limit break after being introduced to the show Ninja Warrior and Women Ninja Warrior which is featured in the US and UK. Both shows are re-dubbed ports of the original Sasuke (men’s) and Kunoichi (women’s) competitions. I’ve never seen anyone faceplant mid-air into an upright column because they timed their trampoline jump wrong. In this competition (Kunoichi 2007) you will see it three times, the third being the most dynamic of all. You can click the “Read More” link at the end of this post to watch all five parts. Part one of five is below. Here’s an update for the show I’m in. It is going to be in Manila Philippines this year, with a launch party in San Francisco. Read below for more details Royal Elastics and the newly formed creative team, HUSHXHUSH, in association with Pablo Gallery in Cubao, Quezon City (Metro Manila,) presents Heavy Hitterz: [...] 2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B’ak’tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world [...] March 25, 2008 | category: my work Tonight I’m working on two things: animation development and painting. Here’s my first pass on the Mommas Boy painting I posted a sketch of earlier. Now it’s time to work on some animation stuff. On a side note, my eye was bothering me today and I got a headache. Ugh, you know the kind [...] A group of friends and I have been talking about the economy for years. One thing that we agree on is being prepared for long-term situations, especially those of us that are married, have families, or responsible for other family members. What is ironic is finding this piece of animation today after reading a [...] March 23, 2008 | category: personal I don’t think I ever grew out of my delight for chocolate chip cookies. There are conflicting stories about the origin of the chocolate chip cookie and the acquisition of the recipe by Nestlé. The commonality between the two stories is that the chocolate chip cookie was accidentally developed by Ruth Wakefield in 1933. [...] A couple days ago I spotted this weird green creature outside the front door on my way to throw out the garbage. At first I thought it was a grasshopper, but after a quick inspection knew that it was something else entirely. One of the most interesting features was the shape of its head, [...] March 21, 2008 | category: my work My friend Alex likes two things: cyclops and face paint….and animation too. Hahaha. Not at the same time, because that would be funny. It would be pretty cool to see cyclops with face paint. I don’t like they’ll ever write that into the comics though. Here he is in real life commenting on himself. [...] March 20, 2008 | category: paranormal This was an interesting photo…. Do you know the runic alphabet? Perhaps you can decipher what the writing says. My mom took this photo about 20 years ago, deep in some woods, back by an old abandoned railroad track. When it was first taken, everyone who saw it spent all day trying to [...] Tibetan monks, nuns and other Tibetan supporters stage a candlelight vigil by walking around the Swyambhunath Stupa in Katmandu. The march was another display of solidarity with Tibetans in Tibet, and occurred shortly after the protest on Monday. The unrest has created shock waves in another volatile region on China’s periphery, shaking up [...] |
