Mix and Mash
Got to see many people in camping for the weekend. I attended for a day, but left without camping, because I hate camping. Though watching people try to tie down tarps in high wind that kept ripping and blowing away was somewhat entertaining.

tsiarxof dropped by to show me his latest animation and play Magic for a while.
It appears I may have to go to RI this weekend for research, and I'm not ready at all. I should call lots of people whom I don't know how to contact and set up interviews. I stay afloat only by remembering that like the infinite pingpong balls, somehow this book project will all be over by mid-next year.
Meanwhilst, it's time for some mix and mashup links:
If Stan Lee had written Watchmen -- Five sample pages, fairly entertaining for any comics buffs (you know who you are)

The Beachles -- Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" and Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" albums mashed together. Note: Less an artful mashup, more an interesting audio comparison of the way each pair of songs from the albums fit together.
Italics just made me realize...( Read more... )
