Heading back East tomorrow and, as is my usual style, I’ve left all packing and preparations to the last possible moments. I guess I’ll have to worry about my pleasure craft license once I get there. (Updated as items are completed)
Before Leaving:
find passport
do laundry
suitcase: clothing
suitcase: gather camera + all extras (to sell on eBay)
suitcase: City […]
Apparently Japan is a land of lovely and unique manhole covers, who woulda thunk it? Have a look for yourself at the Manholes of Japan gallery or the Manhole Flickr Group.

The iXi Bike looks to be an innovative mode of transportation designed with the casual city rider in mind. Boasting a light frame with collapsible handle bars + pedals for the space conscience apartment dweller, the iXi makes the most of it’s own available space by stowing a tire repair kit in the seat […]
The prototype smart goggles which have been making the rounds on the gadget blogs really tickle my future-love bone. Created by Welsh design student Katie Williams, the goggles use a compass at the back of the headstrap to count the number of laps swum, displaying this data along with time elapsed inside the lens. […]
I’ve spent the last half hour upgrading my WordPress install and have added the LivePress for 1.5.1 plugin, which says all is in order. This post is a test to see if the plugin actually will synch my posts made in WordPress with my LiveJournal.
The act of breathing has been enough to get most people to break a sweat over the past few days, summer heat rolling in. Thankfully there is a break today, it’s a bit cooler even though they sun’s out. I wouldn’t mind some rain, maybe give the East a bit of a break from […]
I’m a vimeo member now, uploaded my first lame video clip today. I took it last month when we went to the Vancouver Aquarium and it features a couple of beluga whales doing their thing. The last seven seconds feature my inability to realize that I’m still recording, but that’s life. I’d like to […]
At five A.M. there’s nothing to do but put Fried Neck Bones and Some Home Fries (Dan the Automator Remix) on repeat and dream about digging shallow graves for my enemies, beetles and moths swarming the headlights of a junker while last disrespects are given. I don’t care about being caught or D.N.A. evidence, not […]
Why, yes, it is a Space Invaders magazine rack. Of course the Italian maker, Luka, can’t come out and say that.

Still Monday here in Vancouver, but despite that fact I am currently (quite legally) downloading the new Gorillaz album, Demon Days, from iTunes Canada while it likely won’t hit the streets here until Wednesday due to the long weekend. I’ve been a music hound this month, chomping at the bit of every release date, hoping […]
Fate smiled upon me, the Pasted Paper group unveiled itself after long being hidden under the various other graffiti and street art groups. At this time it’s photo pool holds over 300 photos of paste-ups, paper art affixed to buildings and other urban surfaces (usually) using homemade wheatpaste, which is an art form I’d […]
Bloody gorgeous. Japanese customizers constantly amaze me, this CyGirl “battle suit” by Gamisan being my latest find.
Originally, I had wanted to dip my toes into the pool of Bret Easton Ellis novels by starting with a work I hadn’t seen transformed into film, but upon reading some samples on Amazon it seemed best to start with something I know I like, The Rules of Attraction, to ease me into his rambling, […]
I’ve been thinking, about the pull of energies. I’ve just got to trust my gut instead of a mind full of disease. So I’ll listen, keep my ears open to the subtleties of the internal compass. That way I’ll know when the magnetic fields, the interferences of others, are trying to throw off my perception. […]

It’s been a while since I’ve seen some rogue taxidermy, but it hasn’t lost it’s charm! Over on the craftster.org forums the pink porker rug has caused quite a stir, which I’m hoping will inspire hipsters to spawn their own version of the Urban Beast Project. It’s something I’d like to try my hand […]
