Steampunk in the New York Times

May 8, 2008 7:29am

I am amazed the more I delve into it just how far ahead of my time I was. The question remains, is it too late to cash in on it? If it's in the Times, probably not.

Steampunk in the New York Times

May 8, 2008 5:49am

you know what's strange, is I was doing this type of artwork about 12 years ago, and had no idea that "steampunk" even existed. Any good suggestions as to the best place to show/sell my artwork?

Return of the Moon-Nazis in Creative Commons-licensed film from Star Wreck creators

May 6, 2008 11:30am

Experiment: 96% of passers-by ignore famous artist's street painting

April 23, 2008 10:28am

What an awesome name...."Choon" !!

and to me this just further reinforces my belief that EVERYTHING is relative. e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Funny to see the woman from Christies blathering on with pseudo-intellectual artspeak nonsense.

NYPD cop: videoing me breaking the law is a terrorist act

April 23, 2008 7:59am

Ok, let's just suppose that that woman really is a cop. Suppose an actual crime happened right there on the corner in front of her, a mugging say. Are we supposed to believe that this "cop" is going to be able to chase and catch anyone?

'Net bullies target Chinese student participants in pro-Tibet protests

April 16, 2008 8:50am

One of the drawbacks to nuking the bejesus out of the Chinese mainland is the prevailing winds are gonna blow those glowing clouds eastward across the Pacific, right back over the good ole U.S. of A.
Can anyone think of another reason why we shouldn't nuke 'em from orbit?

Wow indeed.......anyone else struck by the words of the dying about "wanting to have one more chance" or " and now I can really, really live" and juxtaposing those with the fact of here we sit, typing our only life away with meaningless comments on boingboing?

Pilot shoots hole in cockpit - trust is not transitive

March 27, 2008 8:56am

Not always safe to think that pilots are the smartest peas in the pod. I knew a guy who had been flying for a major US carrier for 12 years and actually thought that Thailand was where the people spoke Taiwanese. True story.

""The improvement is real but fragile and limited. Here’s what it amounts to: We’ve cut our casualty rates to the unacceptable levels that plagued us back in 2005, and we still don’t have any exit plan for years to come — all for a bill that is accumulating at the rate of almost $5,000 every second!""

Rudy Rucker versus the Singularity

March 4, 2008 9:01am

I got yer "singularity" right here.....

I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one, that my body might, but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in nature, daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we?” (1864, Maine Woods , "Ktaadn," 664)

Fantastic!! A few years back I spent way too many hours poring over images from one of the Mars orbiters for what became known as "seeps"....what looked for all the world like liquid water flowing up and out of the martian surface....dark streaks cascading for thousands of mile across Mars....found some unbelievable things, but damned if I can find them now.
