The above billboard, which compared Obama to Lenin and Hilter, was paid for by the Iowa Tea Party. While Tea Party officials did, after considerable pressure, take the billboard down, they didn’t go so far as to condemn the message, only saying that it felt like a “waste of money.” Having spent five years living [...]

Rotter and Friends and Nightwood
July 19, 2010 – 12:07 pm
Rotter and Friends, the side project of Jess Rotter of Kemado Records, and Nightwood, my lovely neighbors who take unwanted furniture and wood and make it beautiful, have recently teamed up to collaborate on a home line, available through the Rotter and Friends website.

Turning Sand Into a Solid
July 19, 2010 – 10:01 am
Our friend Magnus Larsson gave a talk about a project he’s been working on to use bacteria to turn sand into a solid mass. It’s a crazy and interesting concept, and I just love hearing peoples’ most out there ideas. You have to figure all big ideas sound really out there, until they’re realized. His [...]

July 16, 2010 – 2:01 pm

Today’s Mail
July 14, 2010 – 7:14 pm
I generally hate it when the post office leaves those sticky “we tried to deliver it, but you weren’t here” notes on my door (I don’t actually believe they ever ring the bell to see if anyone is home. I think they just see it wont fit through the mail slot and leave), but today [...]

Big Bang Big Boom
July 13, 2010 – 3:15 pm
After his very impressive stop-motion film “Muto“ and after releasing several teasers over the last weeks and months, everybody’s favorite Italian Blu is back with his new film “Big Bang Big Boom.” This time he takes on the theory of evolution and shows you where life might have come from, what steps it has gone [...]
Papergirl
July 12, 2010 – 2:40 pm
Unlike a paperboy, a papergirl does not follow the same route. She goes where ever she wants, never takes the same road twice, talks to strangers and doesn’t even collect money at the end of the month. She is the kind of girl all the boys, and girls for that matter, want to hang out [...]
