Hey Noen,

A friendly correction: I am nowhere near a goth but can understand how my banner skewed your brain. Here are more of my thoughts on Jeff if you care...

#2: I agree, this isn't doing much for me either--in fact I thought it was pretty crappy. But then you added Jeff Wall to the mix? Jeff Wall?! The most empty shell of an artist in the world! His stuff is void of ANYTHING except some knowledge of studio lighting and how to get an exposure. He's a catalogue photographer at best.

Is Fred and Sharon's movie production business real or performance art?

March 28, 2008 7:03pm

Okay, I just got an email from a musician I contacted who was credited on one of their videos (the tribute to students and troops). According to him:

"Fred and Sharon are not actors, they run a small baking business in Peachland and sell their breads at the local farmers markets. The movies are consistent with their characters, and they are serious about it. I do see why people would wonder though. They do make one of the greatest sandwich breads ever, and are really nice people."

Peachland is in the Kelowna/Vernon area of British Columbia.

If you watch one of Fred's videos where he makes a video comment about a farmer's market in Boulder Colorado, you can see just how sincere and earnest he is.

I'm in Vancouver and I work with a guy from Kelowna who turned me onto this who F&S stuff. He claims that they're real but to make sure, he's making some calls to his folks in Kelowna to do some detective work. We'll let you know when we've got some answers...

It's impossible to nail something that didn't exist. It's like finding a map to Santa's workshop.

Do Kids Still Play with Wooden Toys?

My son (6) saw a small wooden toy catapult and wanted it soooo bad and he loves it. He in turn bought his younger brother (1) a wooden toy car.

You should already be happy to be a Johnson. Have you heard of William S. Burroughs' "Johnson creed"?

“The Johnson family” was a turn-of-the-century expression to designate good bums and thieves. It was elaborated into a code of conduct. A Johnson honours his obligations. His word is good and he is a good man to do business with. A Johnson minds his own business. He is not a snoopy, self-righteous, trouble-making person. A Johnson will give help when help is needed. He will not stand by while someone is drowning or trapped under a burning car.

Fractal art contest winners

though I respect the "nature" of fractal art, it's too bad it's so gaudy and ugly. I think I've seen all of these posing as art hanging on Second Life walls?

Cross in Huckabee's new TV ad?

December 19, 2007 9:57am

I love what Ron Paul has to say when he's asked about this ad..."As Sinclair Lewis once said 'When Fascism comes to this country, it'll be wrapped in the flag carrying the cross..."

Loss of tourism costs USA $100B, 200K jobs, $16B in tax revenue

November 2, 2007 12:11pm

I do not enjoy going through customs into America from Canada. I guess I fit some kind of profile as I am always targeted and searched -- thankfully not strip-searched (yet). Since the War on "Terror", I have been extremely reluctant to visit America due to its slow rise to fascism. I'd love to visit more often (Seattle, Oregon, San Fran -- all great cities -- I live on the west coast) but the "welcome" I get at the border crossing / airport customs is enough to keep me from visiting and spending my money there (even though my money's worth more!). The horror stories I've been hearing from people and reading about scares me silly.

Halloween's approaching and I want to dress up EXACTLY like the internet, but I don't know where to start!? Any suggestions? And no, I DON'T want to be a series of tubes.
