Garfield Minus Garfield

So I was recently showed these great comics that made me laugh quite a bit. Which is really something because I never actually liked the original comics. They were always bland for me, but shined in this new light it appears that John is absolutely insane and much better! So certain people have decided to make the best of their photoshop skills to erase Garfield from the comics leaving just John! I'm including 3 strips here and a link to a website where there are a lot more is here: http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/. Also read about them here: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/garfield_minus_garfield_from_web_sensation_to_book.php.Enjoy hahaha.

How To Keep An Idiot Busy

I definitely have an affinity for these fun little flash "things" that people make whether they are games or puzzles or whatever. This one is a fun one, you may have seen certain things like it before. It reminds me of I think it is a Simpsons episode where Homer tries to vote for one candidate and the machine won't let him..? Anyway, enjoy it for a few seconds! There is a screenshot below and the link is here: http://www.pagetutor.com/idiot/idiot.html

Classy Collage!

This is a collage that I made for my Digital Photography Class. The theme the collage had to represent was "Class", as in rich, cool, and smooth. Hence the Rolls Royce, the cigars, the dressy clothing and the five different night clubs I used for the background! It's kind of small because another part of this project was that it had to be the size of a postcard. It can also be viewed here on my Picasa account: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/r8PkgaDJ9QBrjx1-dsTC0w?feat=directlink Enjoy!

Dots

Well this is the first game I have ever posted on my blog here and it will certainly not be the last. I am sure that most people have played dots before. Dots is an extremely fun game where two players pit their eyesight and and wits against each other in order to take more boxes. A player takes a box by filling in the last line needed to complete the box (square). To win you must place lines in order to not let your opponent complete a box but to force them to set you up to complete one. Once you complete a box it becomes your color and is your point. This process continues until the entire board is filled in. Beware, many times a chain reaction of box filling is sparked and the tide of the game will turn with a single wrong move. The link to play Dots is here: http://www.athey-educational.co.uk/games/game5/game5.htm. There is an image of my winning game against the computer. I am the color red. It's not hard if you're careful. Have fun!

Spam Email

I just received this message from a friend whose account of some sort has obviously compromised. I think it's great, I love getting advertisements from companies based in countries across the Pacific ocean. Read it and weep at the clever grammar!

"Dear friend,
How are you recently?
I bought a laptop from a website: www.mlsoo.com last week. I
have got the product. Its quality is very good and the price is
competitive. They also sell phones, TV, psp, motor and so on. By the
way, they import product from Korea and sell new and original
products. They have good reputation and have many good feedbacks. If
you need these products, look at this website will be a clever choice.
I am sure you will get many surprise and benefits.
Greetings!
a--i"


I'm not really sure what the last line means but that's not important!

Freeman's Mind

If you have any interest in video games then this will definitely interest you. Even if you don't this web series is most certainly hilarious. Freeman's mind is a screen capture of the entire game of Half Life. The entire time Ross Scott the maker of this series is providing you with comedic dialogue as if he were in the place of the main character of the video game. It is very very very funny. Just watch episode one below and see what you think. Even if it doesn't tickle your fancy, stick with it through episode two considering Dr. Freeman is stuck in the tram the entirety of episode one. His website is www.accursedfarms.com but you can watch every single episode on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/show/freemansmind?s=1

Victory Dance

I kind of sort of wish that I was this good at ping pong. And I wish I could dance like that. Anyway it's a short video that entails a man who bests his opponent in a gane of png pong, or does he? The man then shows him who the boss is with his skills. Here you go everybody! Enjoy!

Dock Photo

As the writer of this blog I reserve the right to go off topic and I am doing just that. What I am posting here is a picture, actually multiple pictures that I edited. Now this may look like one photo but this picture right here is actually a combination of seventeen different photos! If you look closely you can see that the dock is larger at the bottom and it thins out drastically toward the end. This is because I set up the tripod with my camera facing almost directly down on photo number one of seventeen and gradually took pictures tilting the tripod slowly more upward with each photo. By the time I got to photo seventeen I was looking at an upward angle taking pictures of the sky. I then edited these photos together in photoshop and made one gigantic photo. I hope you enjoy it! A large version you can zoom in on can be found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vF7ZDuIhOiE_5NyCD-EC1w?feat=directlink PLEASE CLICK ON IT AND VIEW IT FULLY :)

Mouse Painting

So there is this really cool website where all you do is make this abstract paintings with your mouse. The style you use to paint is the dripping, pouring and throwing of paint onto the canvas. It's based off of and dedicated to an artist name Jackson Pollock who painted in the earlier half or the twentieth century. You can read more about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock Anyway this is a crazy fun thing to play around with for a little while so the link to paint is here: http://www.jacksonpollock.org/ Just click on the picture in the middle of the screen to start painting with your mouse then click to change your color, a random color will be selected for you. The slower you move your mouse the heavier or thicker the paint goes on the canvas and the faster you move your mouse the lighter or thinner the paint goes on. There is an example of one I did rather quickly below but I'm sure if you took your time you could make something really extra spectacular!

Figure It Out

This is a picture from Flickr by: lost-in-stereo. It is a sort of perspective view by someone that we all know. Just read this and even if you don't understand it the first time through, you will think it's very funny once you do! It may be a just little hard to read at this size so you'll need to click on it to enlarge it.
