Booyor's BLOGgh!

If you want your graphic design artists to understand the deep bitterness between the Suns and Spurs, they need to check out Crucial Design.

(John Cole also has some cool Photoshop and Illustrator tutorials.)

Cue beatbox version of bass guitar and kick drum
Aharoni!
More bass and drums
Aharoni!
Oh my little pretty font
My pretty font
Oh my little pretty font
Aharoni!!

This concludes tonight’s typography nerd anecdote.

As promised

I post this one mainly for Mike. Thank you, Internet, for semi-mindless entertainment.

I present to you…Web Site Story.

For anyone who has wanted to punch Clippy in the face: What if the Matrix ran on Windows XP?

If you need to catch up on the previous comics, you can find them here.

In this one, we find out that stormtroopers do not take baths. (This is what makes them bad guys.)

Part two of Rip’s Story shows up today (for a tomorrow “before school read” for my nephew).

My guess? I think Rip’s life is about to get more complicated.

This one’s for Vern and Danjo:

I can’t help but think that Slade might need to be enlisted for some brass additions.

Rumor has it that the song was originally “Classical Gasoline” but then the title got shortened. It debuted on the Smothers Brothers Hour and then went on to have a trippy music video kaleidescoping paintings, much like Fantasia. Here’s the tab for the song.

I can remember driving around with my dad listening to this song. To be completely honest, part of my Captain Palladium soundtrack was influenced by Mason Williams (but not kaleidescopes).

Tycho asked, “Is Han -”
“He’s fine,” Leia said. “Han shot first.”
There was no more blasterfire to be heard.

I’m glad that my mind can now rest at ease. The great debate that had spewed from a certain Greedo scene and a “special” edition is resolved.

Now you can wear your nerd shirt with pride. Oh, you already did? That’s cool.

I am currently coming out of the 9-9-09 revelry (and by “revelry” read “editing a wedding video” and “living life”) and able to put up some prose that I chose.

I think my brain is still slightly broken from finishing my book. I’m very excited with the cover that @jeremypoehls did (among all the other ways that he has helped out this week). I can’t wait for the professional site to add a ‘/books’, if you know what I’m saying.

I did put up two articles on that other site today, one concerning philosophers that impacted the Constitution.

Here’s an excerpt from my science article:
To set up your hypothesis
Make an informative guess
For what you will try
To be like Bill Nye
And live a life of success.

I think that some of you may appreciate the fact that I was the alternative assignment for the Obama speech, considering my previous assertion.

Those that love irony will enjoy hearing that I presented to the students questions about setting goals, how they can contribute to society, and why they should stay in school. This should sound somewhat familiar. (I was remiss in not mentioning caution in what you post online. When you consider the precedents I’ve established, it makes sense.)

Oh, and I asked them to support me while I dangled a flashy watch on a chain in front of them.

Just kidding.

Context: This was sparked by this past week’s Faithnotes.

If
1999 Kosovo
1972 Londonberry
and
1536 Vilvoorde
are our responses…

What should His be?

We adopt new tactics
Emotional Terrorists
Conform to my will
Or we blow this unity apart

Two year-old desires matched with thirty year-old resources

We cause trouble for our family
We deserve the wind

But He is the same from
Red Sea
to
Galilee

Creatures of dust complain
Life is too slow, too quick

And yet

We are the praise of His glory?

He is not insane
He has not handed the kingdom over without purpose

Adopted children?
Chosen?
Christ is the perspective
