I am a Channel Sales Manager at Webtrends. I am 30, happily married + living in Portland, Oregon. I don't have many reasons for keeping this blog. I tend to talk about emerging web culture + how ridiculous the media is but the majority of this site consists of stuff that makes me smile. find archives here

I am dedicated to shedding the fear of all the things included in the system of control. Know that I will always post, so please come back or subscribe to my rss feed. Feel free to leave a comment + not be an asshole. Relax, none of this means a thing.
If you want to contact me, leave a comment + I may or may not get back to you. It is what it is. Oh yeah, I am not a copywriter so please excuse mispellsings.

the latest find is a left foot

Posted: June 17, 2008

the latest find is a left foot, whereas the other four were right feet. this story is pretty bizarre. however my favorite part is where the officials say they are not discounting the possibility that the feet may somehow be linked. um, yeah doi. this could be a publicity stunt by nike. we joked at [...]

joshua hoffine // childhood fears

Posted: June 8, 2008

this is best explained by the copy on his site: i stage my photo shoots like small movies, with sets, costumes, elaborate props, fog machines and special effects make-up. i use hotlights rather than strobes, because they give me better fog effects as well as a warmer color shift. my images are not photoshop collages.

turd break in the sky

Posted: June 2, 2008

10% of me thinks this is really cool – the other 90% screams nerdy! so, these dudes came up with the idea of dangling people above various settings so they can eat dinner. so you can enjoy the sensation of floating while stuffing your face and getting drunk. for some reason though all i can [...]

i had to post this pic. this guy looks like he is every kids person’s worst nightmare. he kinda has guilty written all over his face… and neck. i was going to link to the story but then i quickly realized it is not worth linking to. yuck. i added the arrows for dramatic effect. [...]

two pretty much scientific slow motion films

Posted: March 16, 2008
