Streaming video player no worky

Recently I've tried to watch some video online and run into this same lie each time. There is nothing being installed and nothing ever starts playing automatically.

So I did a little research and found out that the Move Media Player is responsible for all these sites I'm trying to use. I thought, "I can probably visit their site and download the update I need." The answer is yes I can, just like everywhere else. This is hilarious...

Printing Druksel Style

Did some Druksel printing at work last week. Basically you cut some shapes out of thin-ish cardboard, ink one side, press and lift. We used some wood type as well. I made some destruction. You can too.

The Name's Taken

Google has informed me that there are some dudes that think they are me. Sorry, but I had the name first. Go by your middle name or something. So to my several fans (and many many commenters), allow me to clarify:

I don't play guitar in black and white...

And I'm not a Rollercade athlete from Calgary...

One Ring...

I don't know why it happens so often, or why it's always just the one ring, but at BK it just does.

The Bands Visit

We watched this film the other night. There's some nice touching storytelling (me pretending to know how to talk to about movies now), but I was laughing out loud over and over throughout the onslaught of awkward silences involving these guys in blue band uniforms. And the scene at the roller rink is priceless (albeit not featuring the uniforms). Almost Napoleon Dynamite-ish.

I don't know if I can recommend the movie to everyone because I think a lot of people will watch it and be like, "why don't these guys talk more? I'm bored" but the story and the humor definitely landed for me.

Great Bite...Me

"Picture dis! We sell 'em a tin full of mints but we save money cuz 20% of it has already been 'eaten', see! Not only that, but picture dis! We also save on every mint cuz each one has got a bite out of it, see! And here's the kicker...we calls it..."

Thank You Rick Rubin

Metallica just dropped a new album and it's fantastic. I've been a fan for many years and pretty much dig whatever they do despite many metal snobs turning their noses up at the last 20 years of what they've done cuz they didn't make Master of Puppets 5 times in a row. Then there was the whole Napster thing that turned people off too, but I could care less about lazy/cheap cyberdorks whining about not getting whatever digital media they want handed to them for free at the expense of those who make a living creating it. Anyways, this time around Metallica hired Rick Rubin to produce the album and he really took them to where they needed to go. I'm incapable of giving a real musical analysis cuz I don't really know anything about the science of making music, but I will say that this album is heavy and very fast and despite having a death theme it avoids being dark and dismal like so many heavy rock albums out there. I might have cut a guitar solo or two cuz sometimes I tire of the meedly meedly meedly meedly meeeeeee action, but whatevs.

Aaaand, I think the album cover design is pretty awesome.
