The coldest winter I ever spent

Advice for life as seen in the breakfast room of the West Western hotel in Dallas Oregon. This sign hangs over a crock pot full of breakfast gravy. Brent and I, while travelling for earthmine, noticed that this sign had a secret special significance.
Gravy is not
replenished
once depleted.
It is served as a
first come first
served basis.
Caution: Gravy
is hot!
This is somewhat obligatory.
Ok, I know I haven’t posted anything of my own creation on the blog in a while… but this makes me so happy!

I went to New York a week ago and saw this poster in Baggage Claim at JFK.
Umm, if the bag made it this far, what do you think the odds are of it being a bomb?
Wow.
Maneuvers just like in the movies, only effing real.
Yes, 202 Funny Star Wars Tees. I’m such a nerd for loving these
It’s the future now. I was promised a jetpack. Where is my jetpack?
Oh, here it is! (via)
The future is looking up, isn’t it?
This is a pretty awesome video about Glenn Beck and you.
Watch it.
It will ask you to log onto Facebook. Go ahead, it’s safe, and awesome.

I reflashed the daughter board on Orb 3 and Michael Toren and I roll tested it. The moment I hit the joystick the orb took off and wouldn’t stop even when I let go of the joystick.
…
P.S. 1 – The kill switch is not easy to hit when the orb is running away from you very fast.
P.S. 2- The box shop is out of band aids. I would grab a box but it will be a few weeks before I am back.
The absolute classic space horror movie Alien was inspired by the awesomely classic and low budget Dark Star! (via)
A terrific video series for people that love children (but not in the way you think… and not that way either!)
Actually I found this in a pile of old thoughts from 2006 or so
Flying over The Great Salt Lake. I don’t think it was the lake itself… it was just north of Salt Lake City. There is this grand expanse where the lake used to be… it’s mostly blue-purple. At 35,000 feet. There are white patches that look like white caps and other faint white whiffs that look like the ripples of when looking into deep water. But how can that be? The scale is off by a factor of 1,000!
On the BART on the way to SFO at sunrise, there is a low lying area with high voltage electric lines in a swampy area. Fog was wisping about and settling in beautiful ways… playing off the sunrise-yellow morning.

Today’s magical moment:
Another Cloud Reel… by Delrious. Time lapse videos of the Bay Area. Clouds, traffic, fantastical ships.
I think this is just wonderful.
You should play it full-screen.

Here are the lyrics (via). They are worth reading.
Lyrics:
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
Footsteps of spring
the city starts adding color
The melody flowsLE LU LA LI
Through the colored lenses

Between the waves of all the different values

Whats the most important thing?
Spinning and turning on the overpass
as we overtake that season
this and that, which color is your melody?
Sometimes you could get confused

What are you thinking of now?
If we can embrace all the differences
It will shine the sky in rainbow colors
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Dont worry about it, lets just go as we are.
If we can embrace all the differences
The rain will stop, and the sky will shines in rainbow colors
Your heart that gently reflects in the puddle
is your tone, as you pass through the maze of everyday
You can see it in any color, because of your clear feeling
Let your tone shine like the rainbow
Pass through the maze of everyday
And start playing your tone
I like machine art, fire art, machine art with fire on it, discussions and actions that try to improve the world, and burritos. I really like burritos! More about me...
