BLEACH
spray paint / oil / acrylic on canvas
While reading the book by Richard Dawkins The God Delusion, I noticed he mentions the theory of people's perception of color could be akin to, say, the vast difference of snowflakes. For instance, my perception of the color red could be your perception of the color green, or vice versa. Or orange to you could be pink to me, etc. There are universal terms for colors, yet no two perceptions of contrast, brightness, hue and so on are identical. I find this to be a fascinating line of thought because this very same principle could influence one's opinion of an artists work. If an artist takes color combination into consideration when planning and executing a piece, his perception of those colors may seem harmonious; but an observer may find that same combination cantankerous, in a sense.

Why-isms

This blog is dedicated to all those every day questions that we ask ourselves. Like, "Why is the floor as low as I can go?"
BLACK DYNAMITE!
This is the best thing I've seen all year!
African-American action legend Black Dynamite goes after 'The Man' for killing his brother Jimmy, for pumping heroin into local orphanages and for flooding the ghetto with hopped-up malt liquor.
Black Dynamite, starring Michael Jai White, is a spoof of blaxploitation films of the 1970s. Its premiere was at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where Sony Worldwide Acquisitions picked it up for distribution.[1][2] A release date of October 16, 2009 has been announced on the film's official Twitter feed.[3]
On August 25, 2009, it was announced that Apparition, a new distributor
headed by Bill Pohlad and Bob Berney, would handle the film's domestic
release.
Black Dynamite was directed by Scott Sanders and co-written by White, Sanders, and Byron Minns, who also co-starred. The film has been discussed with approval on numerous movie-related websites.

This video proves that if an anthropomorphic deity humans like to call "God" exists, then he's a weirdo:
On an unrelated note, queso fuckin' RULES. About as much as light houses. Anyway, I'm gonna go make some phone calls and write some e-mails because, quite frankly, I'm kind of a big deal. ;p

From Scientific American:
THE ORIGIN OF COMPUTING
By Martin Campbell-Kelly
Key Concepts
- The first “computers” were people—individuals and teams who would tediously compute sums by hand to fill in artillery tables.
- Inspired by the work of a computing team in revolutionary France, Charles Babbage, a British mathematician, created the first mechanical device that could organize calculations.
- The first modern computers arrived in the 1950s, as researchers created machines that could use the result of their calculations to alter their operating instructions.
In the standard story, the computer’s evolution has been brisk and short. It starts with the giant machines warehoused in World War II–era laboratories. Microchips shrink them onto desktops, Moore’s Law predicts how powerful they will become, and Microsoft capitalizes on the software. Eventually small, inexpensive devices appear that can trade stocks and beam video around the world. That is one way to approach the history of computing—the history of solid-state electronics in the past 60 years.
But computing existed long before the transistor. Ancient astronomers developed ways to predict the motion of the heavenly bodies. The Greeks deduced the shape and size of Earth. Taxes were summed; distances mapped. Always, though, computing was a human pursuit. It was arithmetic, a skill like reading or writing that helped a person make sense of the world.
