Loyalty

peaceinvisible — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:04:10 +0000

I’m from the Bay Area, and this weekend the Giants are coming to play that team that everyone in LA has to like just because.

Well, I’m not really a big sports guy, but I do stay loyal to two clubs that I grew up with from my homeland:

the San Jose Sharks and the San Francisco Giants.

I’ll be wearing the home game hat this weekend while Lincecum shuts down the Dodgers.

The Parka

This reminds me of something Timur Bekmambetov would do.

It’s creepy, crisp, and hilarious all in one nicely shot psychological exercise.

The lighting is key on this. Check out how the space is utilized in the shots.

Magic

Matthew Bennett does it

It is a dilemma…

But on a more serious note.

Colin Hill’s recent works are well done.

Ricky Tuna Barcelona

Well, we knew it was too late for him. He’s officially that stereotypical semi-curious American tourist in France/Spain. Leave it to members of the Knox to carry out such wonderful shows for worldly audiences…

FIRST RAIN ’08

peaceinvisible — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:22:16 +0000

I was beginning to think that there was no such thing as nature in this place.

Reminds me of Ghostbusters when the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man is about to take over the world.

YAR! Pirate Day!

peaceinvisible — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:13:54 +0000

International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) is a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy), of Corvallis, Oregon, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.[1] For example, an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with “Hello,” but with “Ahoy, me hearty!” The holiday, and its observance, springs from a romanticized view of the Golden Age of Piracy.

Examples of Pirate Sayings:

Seamen in the days of sail spoke a language so full of technical jargon as to be nearly incomprehensible to a landsman. For example, few could follow these instructions:

Lift the skin up, and put into the bunt the slack of the clews (not too taut), the leech and foot-rope, and body of the sail; being careful not to let it get forward under or hang down abaft. Then haul your bunt well up on the yard, smoothing the skin and bringing it down well abaft, and make fast the bunt gasket round the mast, and the jigger, if there be one, to the tie.
—Richard Henry Dana, Jr., The Seaman’s Manual (1844)

These phrases date back to the 17th century:

If the ship go before the wind, or as they term it, betwixt two sheets, then he who conds uses these terms to him at the helm: Starboard, larboard, the helm amidships… If the ship go by a wind, or a quarter winds, they say aloof, or keep your loof, or fall not off, wear no more, keep her to, touch the wind, have a care of the lee-latch. all these do imply the same in a manner, are to bid him at the helm to keep her near the wind.
—former pirate Sir Henry Mainwaring (see Harland (1984) p.177)

From Lt. Robert Maynard’s report of Blackbeard at the Battle of Ocracoke:

He styl’d us ‘young puppies’ and shouted ‘May the Devil take my soul if I ever gives quarter or asks it of ye!’

“Damn ye, yellow-bellied sapsuckers, I’m a better man than all of ye milksops put together” – Blackbeard

The only written records recovered from the Adventure after Blackbeard’s death ran as follows.

Such a day, rum all out- Our company somewhat sober- A damned confusion amongst us !- Rogues a-plotting – Great talk of separation- so I looked sharp for a prize- Such a day found one with a great deal of liquor on board, so kept the company hot, damned hot, then things went well again.

Jono’s Burning Man

peaceinvisible — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:03:33 +0000

My brother, Jono, went to Burning Man last week and took some great photos. They constructed a giant teeter-totter on wheels to help the hippies flip a little easier during the down time in the dustbowl. Enjoy.

You can see the rest of the great photos in full screen at Jono’s Flickr.
