New and much-needed purchase made today. Donny’s brother turned us on to a great deal on an All-in-One printer/scanner/fax machine. It’s one of those deals wherein you turn in your old printer and get $50 off a new printer. The printer in question is highly rated and normally out of my price-range, but as we were badly in need of a printer and scanner that actually works AND it was on sale at $40 off the regular price, we ended up saving close to $100 on it. Very exciting. And now I can get back to doing what I do best. Creating things. Of course, I had to test the scanner, first. Did so by scanning in the cover of a book my mom gave me when we were in Houston for Christmas. Some day I want to scan the entire thing and upload it somewhere. Printed in 1931, it’s a total kick…




Cook book or sex manual, you decide…

The other day I was… well… I hesitate to use the word “bored,” because normally it’s just not a part of my vocabulary, but because I did something about it, I guess it’s okay to say so. I was bored for about ten seconds, until I pulled a Ray Bradbury, by looking around my office to see what would catch my imagination. The eye settled on one of my favorite Harryhausen figures, then I remembered that I still had an unopened box of “Horrified B-Movie Victims” that my son bought me for my last birthday. Pulling them all together and grabbing my camera, I went out to find a good place to stage some fun. This is just one of the resulting images. I’m now using it as a desktop background…

I love that the “horrified” figures have that cartoony
Robot Chicken look to them. Classic…

And, finally, the WTF? Image of the week. Once again, an ad, this time taken from AdsOfTheWorld.com. It is, according to the website, a toilet tissue promotion meant to communicate that Silk Soft is 100% recycled. Stickers were placed on standard toilet tissue dispensers on selected public toilets around Copenhagen. No word on how well the promotion worked, but it does raise an interesting question: why would this make anybody think that recycled toilet paper is a good idea? I’m just curious, but I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when people are faced with this marketing nightmare…

Apparently shit happens in Copenhagen, too…
