The Snuggly Wasn't Enough

Now there's the Peekaru

The Snuggly costs $15 and covered you and your neighborhood. The Peekaru costs $80 and you can still see body parts. Where's the bargain in that?

As you know, Monet painted stuff over and over again experimenting with different times of the day and seasons of the year. He was trying to capture how light and color interact.

This video lines up several of these paintings. It is pretty impressive.

THE ORIGINAL Scary 'Mary Poppins' Recut Trailer

I got to hang out in the Tech Room during the performance last night. The Tech Room is a Very Interesting Place, meaning that people of the "tech" persuasion chat about all sorts of potentially interesting things, many of which involve words like "blah," "blah" camera "blah," and "blah, blah, No Way!" I'm sure other words are used in the course of these conversations, but I'm having to translate from geek to human and it can be a bit challenging. Thank you for your patience.

Anyway, the REAL reason I love sitting in the tech room (besides learning the language) is that you also hear about very interesting websites.

Hence this post.

I hope you find it as hysterically creepy as I did.

I couldn't paste any pictures here for you, but no matter. The name just about says it all:

It's My Little Pony Pop Art Sculptures.

The artist used real My Little Pony toys and then added stuff to make icons of today's pop culture.

Click on the first square and then use your arrow keys to shuffle through the pictures. You won't be disappointed.

I couldn't stop myself from going through the entire list...twice.

I'm not mic-ing (I'm not sure how to properly represent the verb "to mic" as present tense...)

I'm Not Bored, But I'm Here

Easter Passion practice has started for the tech crew. I have been sucked into, I mean had the opportunity to help put microphones on the performers before the show starts and then help take them off after they finish. I have been brought in to assist the girls because apparently it is better to have a girl grabbing up through a costume of a girl than having a non-girl do it (even if the non-girl is WAY better at it and actually knows what it is doing).

So, I arrive around 5pm and hang out in the intriguing geekdom of mic-land. Once all the girlies are wired, I run ("running" here is an utter misnomer) upstairs to clean up the tech break room and get it ready for dinner. (They wisely feed the cameramen and spotlight operators after the show because they don't want sleepy technical people using very expensive equipment.)

At the 3/4 point I run back downstairs to help take the mics off the girls. When done, back upstairs I go to eat and help clean the break room.

But right in the middle...Right here where I am now...nothing's happening. The water jugs are filled, the food isn't here yet. The actors are singing and if there is a mic problem, it's beyond my ability to fix it...so I'm joyfullyexempt.

It'll be during these times each that you will be getting a lot of pointless things from me because...well, number on,e I have a moment dedicated to this activity...but more importantly...have you ever had the opportunity to hang out with geeks? They are a veritable fountain, a cornucopia as it were, of trivial information, ridiculous websites, and strange videos. And I'm sitting, at this moment, at their epicenter.

God is Good!

His name is Ugly Bat Boy, of course.

But, according to the article, he's really a sweetheart. The article then goes on to say, "The impression from clients that come in is he's not real because he just sits so still, and when he does move, he scares them, but they think he's mesmerizing...He has the run of the place and all the attention he can handle."

Let's recap: Sits perfectly still, scares people and/or mesmerizes them. Smells of sulfer. Of course he has the run of the place...why would anyone try to get in the way of a cat that has obviously been sent from Hades?
