Here are some pretty pictures of our picturesque honeymoon vacation to Kauai, Hawaii. Taken with a Yashica-A medium format camera. (Insert Jurassic Park theme music here.)






Whatchu guys workin on? I know you’re workin on SUMTHIN.

I’m going to be a good teacher.

One of the fun things I’ve learned in teacher school is that kids, particularly very young kids, are suuuuuper stupid. CHECK IT OUT.

BONUS: The last part will teach you how to totally cheat little kids out of gram crackers.

Baseball Cards!?!?

Today while pet-sitting at my parent’s house, I decided to look through my books of favorite baseball cards. I don’t think I had opened up the box they were in since the turn of the Millennium. To wet your appetite, here’s an awesome Pepsi contest gameboard I had stashed inside there from the late 90’s. I think the idea was to collect bottle caps with words on them, and when you had built the phrase, you won the prize. Due to the pop-culture theme, the phrases had a shelf life shorter than the Pepsi (burn!).

Baseball cards after the break… I’ve picked out some of my favorites. You can see the rest in Picasa.

Level 5 + Studio Ghibli = Nerdsplosion!

“Ni no Kuni” is Studio Ghibli’s first attempt at a video game along side the wonderful development studio Level 5 (Professor Layton series), and it is going to be released on the Nintendo DS and PS3. There will be hand animated cutscenes, and a soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi, who composed almost all the soundtracks for Miyazaki’s films. They haven’t announced a US release, but they have to … right? Where is John Lassiter!?

Lip Dub – Video Killed the Radio Star

Found this little gem while looking through old stuff on my computer. Figured we never made it into a lip dub, so I promptly fixed that!

Lunchtime!

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

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.)

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.
