Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak was far and away one of my favorite books of all time. What’s better than that is the pairing of the story with one of my favorite directors, Spike Jonze. His visual style always had a nice blend of curiosity and imagination. This movie looks like [...]

 March 19, 2009 | category: technology Sweet. Just found out about this program that allows you to paint with the Nintendo DS. It’s called “Colors!” The results are pretty neat, with paint sketches like this. You can visit the site and download it here. A big thanks to the developers who put this project together. You’ll need to have [...] March 19, 2009 | category: animal kingdom A Golden Eagle displays creative hunting strategy, preying on goats much larger than itself by throwing them off a cliff face. I knew eagles could fly with a lot of weight, but was surprised when it carried an entire goat in mid-air in this documentary. The strength of its talons and payload capacity seem [...] March 14, 2009 | category: my work Doodling is something that’s occupied my time since…forever. I’ve got an envelope stuffed with hundreds of characters from phone calls, daydreaming, and other random times of the day. Before the stack gets too big, I’m going to start posting more of these doodles every week on my blog.

To see a higher [...] Ogden Nash said it best in this brief and humorous poem: The Chipmunk My friends all know that I am shy, But the chipmunk is twice and shy and I. He moves with flickering indecision Like stripes across the television. He’s like the shadow of a cloud, Or Emily Dickinson read aloud. Doesn’t [...] I’m really excited to see The Watchmen this weekend. It’s one of my favorite comic series by far, delving deep into the social and moral underpinnings of a world inhabited by heroes. In many ways it set the bar of character development and comic book writing for generations to come. Although I am a [...] March 4, 2009 | category: science A case of mutation with the surprise side effect of enhanced perception. Could you imagine an army of ninjas with this ability? They’d be unstoppable. Doctors have studied Nong Youhui’s amazing eyesight since his dad took him to the hospital in Dahua, southern China, concerned over his bright blue eyes. Medical tests conducted [...] |
