Usually my wallpapers I’ve posted for Wallpaper Wednesday have been completely computer rendered graphics, but today I wanted to drop in a few photographs (mildly touched up in Photoshop) that I got at stock.xchng, a photograph sharing website. You have to be a member, but the amount of material there is amazing and of superior [...]
At times during my recent perusal of our nation’s so-called Southwest I would let my eyes wander past the scantily clad showgirls to the dusty horizon. I couldn’t help but wonder why, of all places, they picked a desert to build Las Vegas? Yeah… yeah… I hear you mumbling something about Las Vegas literally meaning [...]
One of my favorite movies is The Red Violin [wiki, imdb]. It’s an exquisitely told tale of a haunting and perfect violin with a mysterious quality that enchants various possessors over centuries and continents to eventually end up in the hands of Samuel “Snakes on a Plane” Jackson in modern day Montréal. Wonderfully told… this [...]
With all this talk of fantasy and Lord of the Rings and Narnia I got to thinking that I do, indeed, like my fantasy wallpapers. Coming to mind immediately are some gems by Ryan Bliss of Digital Blasphemy. These were from his Avalon series he did using a pretty cool castle rendering. As always, if [...]
If you want to sit down and curl up with some light reading I recommend Stephen Hawking‘s acclaimed book An Illustrated Brief History of Time. No, really… this is a great read for anyone wanting to understand the unspeakable complexity and immenseness of our universe. The book is written for laymen (whatever) but some of [...]
And why not? You had to see it coming. Just five short days after the first official Flash Friday comes the first official Wallpaper Wednesday. And because I’m a pushover for these things it’ll usually be a two-fer. Both of these beauties are by Rob Randtoul from Plasma Design. The one on the left is [...]
Well here’s another wallpaper post where you get two… I guess I’m feeling particularly generous (as if I made these myself). The one on the left is Flame by Rob Randtoul. The one on the right is Alien Paradise by Inga Nielsen. As a side point, I get all sorts of emails about various parts [...]
The Hundred Monkey Theory gig tonight at Grace Fellowship Church went very well! I have a DVD of the whole evening and will be preparing some clips for digestion by the general populace, so stay tuned. As for me, I’m tired but I’ll leave you with a cool guitar wallpaper from Musician’s Friend. The guitar [...]
Especially for you resolution sickos… here’s a couple of 1600×1200 wallpapers. On the right is On the Golden Pond by Rob Randtoul. On the left is Caustic Reticulation by Joe Price. As a matter of note, the wallpaper Indigo I had posted before (Lazy Saturday) is also 1600×1200. As always, if you enjoyed the wallpapers [...]
Okay, the Hundred Monkey Theory gig at Grace Fellowship Church for their coffeehouse (that was canceled January 6) is back on for February 3! In case you’re lookin’ for me, I’m the one on electric guitar. Here’s an interesting wallpaper I came across on Musician’s Friend… and, yes, this is actually a real guitar… the [...]
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
