What is going on?!?!?! →
I’m all for equal pay for equal work, but during the DNC speeches the proclamation just felt disingenuous - it brought me out of whatever incredibly tenuous grip their rhetoric had on my attention and made me acknowledge the ways in which they were merely pandering to the platform.

I know I’ve been mostly reblogging lately and I apologize - it’s the result of a general malaise and my iMac being repaired (they’re replacing the hard drive, optical drive, logic board, keyboard and iSight - yikes).
I haven’t really designed anything in a while due to the computer overheating to 160 degrees whenever I tried to run Photoshop, but the first item on the...

I stumbled upon this short article when I realized it had been laying dormant in my Instapaper queue for some time. I enjoyed it very much.

I don’t know why, but there’s just something unsettleing about this video to me. I think it’s cause it’s shot all Cloverfield style. That, and how well done the shots of the Death Star are.

I’m seriously impressed by the 3-D character design and cel shading here - a lot of the original Flash cartoon drawings seemed pretty difficult to dimensionalize, but they even got Homestar’s mouth right - and the video is basically a facsimile of the 2-D cartoon’s style.

I read this story in an anthology this a.m. and I can’t get it out of my head. Totally random recommendation, but if you have a few moments to spare, it’s greater than great.
