Omegle #1: Substance
Stranger: hmm, strange place indeed
You: It is
Stranger: just look at the ceiling...
Stranger: oh my god it's dripping some substance
Stranger: what IS that?
You: WOW
You: it is glowing...
Stranger: now that you mention it, it is!
You: spooky
Stranger: but what could it be?
Stranger: spooky? that's an adjective, not a noun!
Stranger: or is it a new substance called Spooky?
You: It is, haven't you heard?
Stranger: Ah ha! now I remember, this stuff is used to_________
You: turn turtles into mutants
Stranger: Egad! just look at those turtles over there!
You: They seem to be teenage and ninja!
Stranger: those are no ordinary turtles, they somehow have been taught the art of___________ by a ____________ for some reason!
You: cooking
You: iPhone app
Stranger: and they're completely technologically savvy!
You: it is marvelous
Stranger: I must document this
Stranger: what is it they're cooking?
Stranger: my sense of smell has been abused by decades of cocain
You: they are cooking puttanesca sauce
Stranger: But for what dish? this is truly perplexing.
Stranger: and Why are they doing it?
Stranger: mutants don't need food for sustenance
Stranger: so it has to be for some other, more sinister cause
You: that is nonsense, of course they need food
Stranger: nonsense, all they eat is pizza, which is degrading peasants fare
Stranger: hardly considered "food"
You: It is tasty
Stranger: *peasant's
Stranger: nonetheless, why are they doing it?
You: Because they can
Stranger: well, mystery solved
Stranger: The End
You: Credits roll
Stranger: job well done
Stranger: a nice impromptu story

Old software never dies (I hope)
I’m known for easily growing attachments to inanimate objects, collecting and cherishing (usually, useless) things with the loyalty of an old dog. I believe that tendency has extended into the realm of software. I have two examples of programs that were released at the very beginning of the millennium, and I still use them everyday. ACDSee 32 2.42 (2000)
This is what I use to browse...

Don't Ask About The Blue/Green Screen.
It is the year 2010 and I can’t believe I’m still hearing the same thing. I can’t believe journalist still ask actors about the blue/green screen. I can’t believe the actors still have the exact same response as they had more than 10 years ago. This is what usually happens: A journalist/entertainment person/hip blogger will briefly interview a movie star in a press junket...

WatchI had this blog abandoned. But I will be posting some things I’ve come across that I really like. This one is a new song by Portishead. Such an excellent band.

Canabalt
How many meters can you run before hitting a wall and tumbling to your death? I often ask myself that when I’m looking out the window (as most people surely do). But It wasn’t until I played Canabalt that I could tell for sure.
You start running, whether you want to or not you can’t stop running, all you can do is jump and keep running, that’s it. But oh boy, there is so...

There was blood
It is quite hot here in Buenos Aires, despite the fact that is still winter (technically). I would like to go into that, but I only brought it up because it means mosquitoes are back. Today I killed two of them, with my technique of clapping them to death. The second one I splatted was full of blood and I was reminded of an issue I used to ponder about a lot. Where does that blood come from?...
Brad Bird's wisdom →
“I said, “Give us the black sheep. I want artists who are frustrated. I want the ones who have another way of doing things that nobody’s listening to. Give us all the guys who are probably headed out the door.” A lot of them were malcontents because they saw different ways of doing things, but there was little opportunity to try them, since the established way was working very, very...

Yet another beginning
My first blog was actually in english. It wasn’t really a blog but more of a status update of the (at the time) upcoming The Dig Museum (that was all during 2004). Then during 2006, once the site was up and running I created my Journal so I could continue “blogging” and then kept doing it for a year or so. It was all beautifully hand-designed and every single post was hand-made...
