Oh. My. God.

I believe that every time ennui zero sends me photos I feel the nitric oxide flowing and I have a near overdose of cGMP. I think that’s healthy though, right? I’m not the only one, I’m sure! Anyway, this is I think her third feature on ModBlog — here’s number one and number two. Yes, I’m a fan, and a predictable one at that… ok, make fun of me all you want.

Other than that, I’m considering working on a WordPress2 rework for this blog since I’ve been doing that over on my kit car and home-built vehicle blog, but first I’d have to write an IAM interface to it.

ModBlog or MAKE magazine?

I’ve been debating the extent to which I want to post “how-to” information to the BME encyclopedia. For example, what is my liability if I explain to you in detail that with a little dry ice and a willing arm, you can guarantee yourself looking like my German friend here? How about if I explain how to do it with a minimum level of pain. I have such poor judgment, I’m seriously considering putting out a guide.

The truth is a virus! Information wants to be free!

Roller Girl Tattoo

I’m from a farm in Canada and maybe I’m out of touch, but when I see this tattoo, all I can imagine is the client going to the artist and saying,

"Yeah... I'm looking for a tattoo of an angel. Do you mind if she's nude and in rollerskates? Oh, and make her look like she really needs to pee. And can you make it look like a little UFO is going to land on her head? Thanks."
