I had all but forgotten about the work I had done for this video on behalf of Bernal Media's "Robots Can Dance" project. I created the clipart and backgrounds for this motion comic experiment - it's painful to look at some of it, as the work is several years old at this point (I keep thinking about how much better I could do this were I to undertake it today, and it always hurts to compare old work...

There is a new Wasted Words podcast: Show 37 - Party Man Bach and Jameel Bach . In it, Tony " mrkevincostner " Zaret is very, very drunk; shekb , stephenl and I discuss things; and our "Ask the Bartender" bartender somehow steals a joke from manningkrull . Truly, a whirlwind affair.

The latest Wasted Words Podcast went up last night, and largely thanks to the hard-drinking efforts of guest commentator Tony Zaret (by accounts, he'd had a six hour headstart on the rest of the crew), it's one for the ages. Also, in the Ask The Bartender segment, Baltimore's own Deke Zbinski steals a joke from Livejournal's own manningkrull . Like Billy Red Lyons used to say, don'tcha...

My new favorite person is  manning krull  . Back before I headed over to France,  calamityjon   introduced us (on the internet) on accounta Manning lives in Paris and probably had a tip or two for a tourist. He was, in fact, so very helpful and friendly and forthcoming with ideas, Frenchy phrases, and places to visit that I was sad to learn he'd be out of the country while I was there...

Чрезвычайно крутой пиксельартист manningkrull только что закончил Toxic Sonic Zombie Massacre - платформер с элементами beat 'em up. Не так давно Manning Krull перебрался во Францию, так что игра отображает его опыт жизни в стране галлов. Длится действо пять минут. Понравится готам, но явно не только им. Управление: стрелки, [Z], [X], [пробел]. http://www.manningkrull.com/games/toxicsonic/...

Hello all! I'm back from France. I'm afraid that I didn't post to LJ or Twitter or anything nearly as much as I thought I would. But that's fine by me. I've posted almost 200 pics on my flickr page . (I'll add some more when I've got some down-time. I shot about 1500 photos. Be glad that I exeercised such restraint!) The "France" collection is here. Morgan and Claudia introduced...

Last night I saw fluidbeauty and Trish's cool house, saw schtune and corrigami and met Lily (cutest baby ever! Don't tell the other babies!), and had a long, wine-fueled, wonderfully delicious dinner with manningkrull . We closed the place out! Um, it was only like 10:40 though. Ben and Corri and Manning and Lily and I briefly discussed Nicolas Cage, and I mentioned...

It has been pointed out to me that the Dutch Snuffie bunny singing to its carrot that I linked to before is in fact German . It's not like the Dutch don't have enough on their conscience though. Someone has also done an English version of Schnappi das Kleine Krokodil . With ukelele. (Thanks, Graeme. I think.) On another note, manningkrull wrote that French New Wave band Indochine have...

It is a mystery package from France! It only seems to be a mystery. Then it seems to be a box of Lipton tea. Then it seems to be just what it really is; a kind gift from manningkrull . It is Fleur de Sel de Guerande, some of the finest French sea salt. It tastes delicately of the sea! Honestly, I have a many different varieties of sea salt now. Two different Hawaiian sea salts and I...
