Amok ado about nothing.
Monday, March 31st, 2008

Yesterday I created a chiptune version of the classic theme to the Spock V/ Kirk fight to the death. You can hear my version here. Now I’m wondering what to do with it? I originally had my interest in the music, which originally appeared on the “Amok Time” episode of Star Trek, when my friend [...]

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

The City Hall of Palo Alto was recently mosaicked with photographs of nearly 18,000 of the cities homes. According to the Palo Alto Daily News, Samuel Yates spent 6 and a half years documenting Palo Alto’s neighborhoods in order to determine Palo Alto’s dominant color.
In the pictures above you can see a close up of [...]

Epic-Fu posted this lo-fi version of the light cycle scene from one of my favorite movies, Tron. It’s amazing how much the producers were able to pull of with stop motion and some cardboard. Less is more!

Quickies
Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Tonight I gave a yo-yo presentation at Quickies, a fundraiser for 826 put on by Ideo. It was a blast to see Ideo’s killer office space in Pier 28, and to perform a twist on my normal act (tweaking it slightly to fit a tech-ier crowd). My presentation was around 9pm, and I went on [...]

St. Patty’s Day fire on 26th and Valencia
Monday, March 17th, 2008

There is a four alarm fire a few doors down from my apartment on Valencia Street (between 26th & 25th). When I was taking these photos it was hard to tell exactly how close our apartment was to the fire which was still fully raging (especially on alley side), but it looks like the SFFD [...]

Today I voluntered to help teach cartooning to kids at “Mayor Gavin Newsom’s March Gladness in the Mission” at Garfield Park. Here is the comic I finished right before Mr. Newsom came around to our both and shook hands.

Blue Bolts
Friday, March 14th, 2008

I’ve been waiting to post these special edition Blue Bolts until the shop on my new site is up, but since everyone keeps asking (and I’m not sure when the new site will be finished) I’ve posted ten Blue Bolts on my Etsy page.
You can see them here.
They are bind return only. Limit of two [...]

Gygax rap
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Here is a short song I put together regarding the passing of Gary Gygax (the co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons). I was inspired to make it when I opened my rss aggregator this morning and saw dozens of my friends writing about Mr. Gygax. As I surfed around, I kept seeing similarities in their personal [...]
