Interview with Dan Marker-Moore The Time Slice Maven

I want to time travel. This is a known fact. But in case you thought I was lacking proof, I give you this, and this, some of this, and this. Need more? But this? I actually thing these photos from Dan Marker-Moore are more time travel street cred than all the previous links combined. You wanna know why? I'm idiot, of course you want to know why, I mean, that was possibly the greatest build up to an intro ever.

John Oliver on Surveillance and Snowden

Whether you are into Snowden or not... or whether you are into Oliver or not, the two together are unforgettable. Literally the first question of the entire interview was - "Do you miss hot pockets?!?" Sweetness and light I tell you. Sweetness and light.

Ruth Bible Experiment

And Ruth's faith is rewarded a million fold. Not only is Ruth's faith rewarded for Naomi, but also for herself and how she is remembered throughout History. In Judges we talked about how King David's line came through a prostitute. And this week we see how David and Jesus' line go through a gentile's line.

Reddit April Fool’s Day Button Still Going

Personally I believe that the button is someones brilliant Doctoral Thesis in the making. The paper will inevitably be titled, "On the Social Ramifications of Arbitrary Delimiters as Experienced by Reddit and the Button." Guaranteed.

An Interview With Sculptor Ellen Jewett

The representational elements, the animals, plants and objects, manifest in the same fashion. I start to make a horse only to discover it wants to be a goat, and its legs become a sea shell. I find it easy to tap into imaginative flow states and the imagery finds itself.

The Bible Experiment Judges

My problems with Judges begin and end with a character named Jephtah. His story begins promisingly enough, in that he is the son of a prostitute. But eventually Jephtah's half brothers kicked him out of the family. And once out of the clan, Jephtah becomes something of a brawler, and becomes a leader of the leaderless, and the family-less.

Short Film Friday Protype Movie Gear

Holy crap - there are some really amazing movie developers hiding under rocks and in desperate need of attention! This little movie is so rich with back story and latent ideas that I don't even know where to start. This movie was obviously pulled together by some really fantastic special effects mavens.

Robin Hood iPhone App Game Changer

So what's the upshot? The upshot is that I have pulled all the nickles and dimes out of the couch that I could find in order to get the app funded with a reasonable starting position. The money is routing now and I expect to be trading in the next day or two. I'm sure I'll be complaining about my losses soon enough!

The Bible Experiment Joshua

The Bible Experiment Joshua - Last year I did a whole series of posts on the best books of the month. I had a theory that a chain of posts might actually create a synergistic reading effect and increase SEO, and also help focus my posts. Oh wow was I wrong. At the end of that year the readership was so blooming bad I quit doing the reviews, (but not before one of the authors I reviewed that month gave me the awww "buck up wally" speech. Its awesome.) and decided that I would pick an even less interesting topic and commit until I had finished the entirety of the series. And that was to read every book of the Bible and to write 1000 words about it. An Atheist had started doing it and it was actually a pretty interesting read. And I figured, heck, if an Atheist can do it, why can't I? Shouldn't I be able to?

Alternate Interstellar Movie Theories and Explanations

Oh I know there are weaknesses in this theory. But when you point them out, my answer is invariably going to be, explain to me your theory, and how it has fewer gaping holes in it than mine? Hahah. No, seriously, I've been struggling with this damn movie since I first walked out of the theater. Normally I crank a movie review the night after I see it. But this one wasn't like that at all. I struggled and struggled and struggled with it until I decided my first thought in the movie theater was all that was left.

THPPPPT Because You Are RICH THATS WHY

Now that your mind is blown... give.  Might I suggest a sponsorship with a fantastic organization like Compassion International? My family and I sponsor 4... and wish we could sponsor more.  And with Compassion, you could even go and visit your sponsored child if you wanted.  Talk about a change of perspective.  It will blow your mind to see where some of these kids live.

Parallax is Now Live And On Sale

I think that game development is so much more accessible now than it used to be. This presents a lot more opportunities for developers, but that is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Because anybody can make a game, there is a lot more competition, and thus it is a lot harder to get noticed.

An Interview With Painter Genius Adam Vinson

Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that because most of my “backgounds” are conceptions. It’s my way of taking a break from the regimen of tight painting. Many of those backgrounds are applied with palette knife, scraped and reapplied. Usually a few layers deep. I work off instinct and my mind rather than what is in front of me.
