Have you seen smarthistory.org? If you have any interest in art and/or history you’ll like browsing through the site. Apparently it’s supposed to be a virtual art history text book, but completely free. Definitely worth a look.

Amazing Title Credits – Enter The Void

Joel — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 19:04:27 +0000

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the title credits are awesome and like nothing I’ve seen in a film before. Apparently the majority of the rest of the film is shot in first person POV which sounds interesting…

(If the beginning gets old just skip to about a minute in.)

Kinect on Mac

Kinect on Mac, originally uploaded by artgoeshere.

I recently got a Kinect for the Xbox BUT I hooked it up to my computer instead. So far I’ve done…. nothing with it.

I Got Props

I love Picross, PicCross, Nonogram or Paint by Numbers, whatever you want to call it. I bought PixelCross on my phone maybe a month ago and really liked it but wished it had a mode without a timer for a “more relaxed” play. I left a review saying so and the dev totally added it! Not only that but it was at my suggestion and he specifically noted that!

I’m totally famous now.

(I don’t know why the picture is all squished, I did this from my phone)

Cute Boys Are Cute

Just video chattin’ with the boys the other night. They’re adorable.

(I didn’t draw those hearts in there, they just appeared.)

The Future is Amazing

Joel — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:18:48 +0000

And we’re living it right now.

Here’s why:

My Grandma on my Dad’s side is not the most computer savvy person around. Actually, neither is Grandma on Mom’s side, but that’s not the point. Grandma lives in and owns a duplex. The people downstairs moved out and now she needs to put an ad out. She called me and asked me to put something together for her that looked nice and would stand out from the other For Rent signs at the college where she was going to post it.

Of course I said “yes”.

Using iChat I initiated Screen Sharing so she could see my screen while I put it together. Then when everything was looking perfect I emailed her the PDF. THEN I initiated Screen Sharing so I could see/control her computer to help her print it. After she had printed it we had a nice video chat to catch up and so she could show me the final product.

All of this has been possible through to do for awhile with various technologies but iChat pulls them all together and makes it so easy that even Grandma can do it.

Just in case you haven’t seen this yet:

Lisa Frank’d

Joel — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:43:13 +0000

I found this cool desktop and spiffy icons and combined them to make the ultimate Lisa Frank Inspired Theme!!!

In Shambot news, I changed the auto-resize width for the medium and large sized images. Large now perfectly fits the width (580px) of this theme without breaking it and medium (290px) is half the width of large.

sometimes there are cats

Space belly rubs! Genencor will always be my hero, I dream that one day he will sweep me off my feet and take me away to the suburbs of the late 60s were he can be a retired space cat, and I, his wife space human.
