Data Recovery Article
Losing your data from your computer can be a big pain, but I read an article on data recovery, and it explained the types of data recovery options out there. Hard drives fail all the time, and there are quite a few warning signs that should be watched. If you have an older computer this is particularly important. Don’t lose your precious and valuable files!

”There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory… Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea — God Bless! [sic] Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

Google Street Road Trip Footage
A lot of people have asked me how I created that background footage of Google Street View whizzing by in this most recent College Humor cartoon. The answer is simple: Hundreds and hundreds of Google Street screenshots. You’re probably wondering if that took a long time. Yes it did… and yet somehow I gathered even more “footage” than I ended up using. So instead of letting it go to waste, I made this fun little music video. Take us away, Chuck… -
Ernest Alexander Journal: The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and…

“A latticed warehouse door at Corby House on Curtain Road in London provides the ideal setting for lenticular graffiti, and by far the best use of it (so far) was this rabbit by ROA [one of the Geyser of Awesome’s favourite street artists]. From one angle, you can see a fairly realistic rendering of a furry rabbit, and from the other you get a black silhouette with the rabbit’s veins and arteries showing in bright red.”

Last summer my bestie and I took a road trip to CO to see the Avett Brothers in concert in Boulder and Red Rocks. It was one of the most awesome and beautiful trips I’ve ever taken. While in Denver we thought we might get a tattoo commemorate the trip, but not knowing any local artists, and not having a whole lot of extra time to do the tattoos we put it off til later.
This last January we finally made our appointment. Mel D of Inkjunkies in Tulsa, OK has done work on both of us before, and he is always great. She got a birdcage on her arm (to match the lyrics in Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise), and I got this bit of lyrics from Laundry Room.
Also, yes, tattoos on your feet fucking hurt.

”… I was at the gym when the [Palin] news broke, hence the late post. And, of course, the news was juxtaposed by the untimely death of Steve Jobs. Leonard Cohen once said of America that it was “the cradle of the best and the worst”. Today, we lost one of the very best in American history, a reticent genius and entrepreneur, an inspiration for countless of us who has changed the very fabric of our lives. And we also saw the end of the road for one of the very worst: a nasty, callow, delusional, vicious know-nothing, brewed in resentment, and whose accomplishments could fit on a postage stamp. It’s a fitting comparison: achievement versus resentment, creativity versus narcissism, hope versus fear. I know which one will get the bigger headlines tomorrow. And there is some comfort in knowing it will pain her.
