Well, due to my employer sucking ass, we're moving Arts & Crafts Night to the FIRST and THIRD Tuesday nights of the month, since I now have to work all evening the second Tuesday of every month when Microsoft releases all their security patches. Microsoft can suck it. "But I thought you worked in UNIX security?" you ask? Yea... well... I don't ( Read more... )

Friday night I went out to Zubar to see Fred Everything. I got my dance on and the beatz were very good. I'll definitely have to see this cat spin again next time he comes to town. After Zubar closed down I made my way over to an afterparty which was located in a living area inside a silk and interiors store. Very interesting atmosphere for an ( Read more... )

Dawn turned me onto a website called Deviant Art. This site is basically a community of artists that critique each other's art. It provides a really nice user profile area with an art gallery, forums, etc. After some browsing, I've decided to begin to move my gallery from my personal site to this site to make use of their awesome tools. You can ( Read more... )

This guy has come up with some interesting techniques for creating art with computer and software glitches. Here's a blog gallery entry of some art created by using corrupt game ROMs loaded into a game console emulator. Normally I think I'd probably brush this type of stuff off, but after recently visiting the modern art museum, some of this ( Read more... )

After a wonderfully cool evening drive home with the top down on the car and a brisk walk around the block, Arts & Crafts Night began. I finished my sock puppet, took pictures of a few pieces of art for my art webpage, framed one painting that I finished during last Arts & Crafts Night, and worked on a painting that I've been working on for about ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the new modern art museum in Fort Worth, The Modern, in their relatively new building. The building has some great architecture and is lined on the back by a large mirroring pool. I usually don't understand a lot of modern art, but there were quite a few pieces there that I really enjoyed, such as Tatsuo ( Read more... )

Well, even though there were a grand total of 3 people that showed up, our first Arts & Crafts night was a great success. I had started on one project only to discover that the exacto knife I have is not quite sharp enough for what I needed it to do and I had no extra blades for it. So then I moved on to a painting, which I forgot I was so close ( Read more... )

We got back into town Friday night to an awaiting Zonk. Zonk and I played quite a bit of Gunbound this weekend due to him bringing his computer into town with him. Alissa also came to town but spent most of the weekend with her Family.

Saturday I played Magic with Zonk & MSJ, floated in the pool a bit, cooked up some burgers on the grill, then ( Read more... )

It's long, but it's an excellent read... I highly suggest that anyone interested in movies, music, art, copyright, and/or technology go read this.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the ( Read more... )
