Man, living at home is such a drag. Now your mom threw away your best porno mag. Bust it!

I found this tonight care of Land Of Tuh! It is definately NSFW. Vintage smut but I love the type faces in most of it and the stories are a riot.





















Our single greatest flaw is our innate desire to leave a mark on society

Stopped at the Crow Bar tonight. The bathrooms here always change. For the most part it is just crappy tags but on occasion there is a treat.

"I think this whole thing is a good one"

Battle Ax Tooth makes "Awesome Choices" and Poo Pile agrees

Uh?

Battle Ax Tooth emotes "Nobody puts wicked drunk guy in the corner"

Notice the fine lines? I bet he loves his big fat penis too


I have saved this for a few nights due to the fact I hadn't a reason to post about graffiti. Well the ol' Crow helped me tonight. These cats Jürg Lehni and Uli Franke built this machine to paint graffiti. The Machine named 'Hektor' rides on cabals like the mechanism that makes an etch-a-sketch work. (You know you took yours apart.)


Hektor being set up.

Hektor starts to paint.

Check out the whole video here.

Below are some of the samples and test painting done by Hektor. Pretty cool.

The fourth dimension is orthogonal to the other three spatial dimensions

JT and I speculated about a digital camera's ability to make double exposure pictures. While sitting at Stumptown on Sunday I experimented a little bit and the results although unpollished are kind of neat. I think with a little more experimenting and an apparatus to cover the lens of the camera a little better one could make some really cool pictures. What do you think?

My second attempt at double exposure. Not bad. I didn't move the camera that much because I wanted to be safe. If I had better timing I could have made the second exposure as long and less ghostly. Oh well not bad for experimentation.

First exposure the front counter second exposure me. The blurred lights are a third exposure due to the fact I could not see whether the shutter had closed. I like that though and could be incorporated into some really neat shots.

Front counter and facial exposures about the same length and again the blurred light third exposure. My timing is way off and perhaps I could shorten the length of shutter speed.

Last picture. My face is the first exposure this time making me less ghostly then a second with my thumb in it then the third blurred light exposure. I guess my signature foul up. I will continue to try this method out and share more results as the come.

I will also try to determine a way to close the lens manually a little better. Perhaps with some heavy paper board or other opaque object.

Another discussion we had was about the red pictures I take by placing my finger over the flash. I figure if I use other colored gels I could do some funky things as well. I am sure these are not new ideas but this is what ameture photography is about right?

Another cola picture. Not as good as the first shot but with a little PSing I could lighten it up. It was in a red plastic cup and we were sitting in a dark pizza shop so...

Reflections in a cup of Stumptown coffee. It's full of stars.

Another shot at the pizza place. This kind of looks like the Willamette Weeks Food Finder.

Whatcha gonna do when the well runs dry?

Nos and I went for a walk in SW on Sunday but I got so caught up in the post about the farm I forgot about these shots.

We spent about an hour so we were okay


What a great view of Mt Hood

I guess I am fascinated by close-ups of weird pods and berries

You see!

Investigators with a wealth of expertise in diverse disciplines gathered at the New York Academy of Sciences for an update

Back in October I had this post with pictures of a train siding covered on both sides of the track by graffiti. One of the pieces I posted was by an artist named Thesis. Well Nosmot hipped me to a flickr stream he found tonight containing another picture down in San Francisco. Courtesy of loupiote.

He suggested I do a flickr search to see what came up and walla! the results.

Three more pictures of Thesis goodness via otherthings'. Check out the rest of his pics. Quite a few awesome pictures of graffiti.

This Is All I Ask (Beautiful Girls Walk A Little Slower)

Went for a quick walk tonight because I had seen a Nerd going to work last week. Here's a little of what I saw.

I took a few shots of the berries hanging in front of the house. There just wasn't enough light to get a good picture so I shot with a flash. They looked a lot cooler then this, each berry with a drip of water on it. I really didn't like the flash so I tried the old finger over the flash trick and kinda like the results. If I were a little more adept at PhotoShop I may have made them look even better. Oh well.

The two red shots with the finger over the flash. Kinda neat.

A cool USPS sticker by ELBO. This is the first piece I have seen by ELBO. I love the guys expression.

Yup, another beloved Nerd on the fence behind the old Kinky's Korner Klean on SE 37th and Belmont

On the way home I stopped at my friend Darin's house for a beer and a little T.V. watching. Got to sit and snuggle with the kids as well. How can you resist a face like Annie's?

Before I slipped out I popped into one of the coolest Dude Bathrooms ever. Jolly Roger shower curtain.

Dia De Los Muertos motif tile in the shower.

Dinosaur toilet seat lid...wha?!

Are You A Rock & Roll Savant?

I have been racking my brain all night trying to finish this damn quiz. There are 54 total and I have 40 so far. See how many you can get. So I don't spoil it I have blacked out the answers in the sample picture above.

Here are the 14 covers I haven't quite figured out yet. 7 of them I recognize but haven't put the names to yet.

A quick update, I have come up with four more correct answers. So I only have 10 un-aswered ones and I think I know two bands but can't place the albums.

While I am at it I thought we should all revisit Battle of the Bands via Youtube.com
