Kinda like this??? (Start about 1:13)

Now I feel doubly inadequate. . .I probably couldn't get a nice render like that, and I probably wouldn't be able to solve the puzzle either.

ah. . .yes. . .well of course. . .I guess I didn't see the zipper.

funny . . .by I can't help thinking of the casting call for that commercial. . . or others like these.

DIRECTOR: Welcome MIss. .. .we're looking for someone to be our ugly, hideous fat girl that everyone laughs at the end of this advert. we'd think you'd be perfect. You don't mind dumping all of your sense of self-respect and personal esteem for a few quid and a blip on your resume? Just a few hours work really, but you'll go viral and laughed at forever.

Whaddya say?

from my office this morning. . . just another day in January in my little town.

The guy in the blue suit...

That's me.

I wear it as a snuggy sack at night too.

Great image. . .I think however you forgot the crutches. that would just finish it off for me.

Can't say much

At least now we really know what a bear does in the woods.

This is like the technology in the movie MINORITY REPORT (except with out the guitar picks that Tom Cruise wears on his fingers) Pretty cool but I think my wife would have me locked up if she saw me sitting in front of my computer waving my fingers around like I'm conducting my own little imaginary orchestra.

However. . .any technology that gives us freer passage to better Angry Birds play has got to be a good thing.

I think all this discussion can be put to bed right here: at least it does it for me.

If you want to bypass how the Golden Ratio worked in Music, and go right to architecture and art scroll to about 7:08

All truth can be found in cartoons.

A study of non-golden-ratio architecture and art would be interesting. What other typical rules exist and are followed? What cultures tend to not adhere to that ratio? I'm sure I could probably go google that and find existing studies

Well of course the Japanese used a unit called the Ken which was their kind of a bay system. I think it had something to do with the tatami mats they slept on or some such other. Either that or it was based on the Ken Doll--because he is like a god in ancient Japanese culture.

Ironically .. .he is Perfectly proportioned to the GOlden Section. Very Vetruvian if you ask me

I didn't read it.

I happen to like the Golden Section. We didn't always get along. . .didn't always agree. .. but hey . .that's life. We've been friends for a long time and I refuse to just throw him over because some literati now decides he is passe. We've had a lot of fun times together.

Call me a bitter clinger.

I dunno. .. .did the cat go thru a rigorous background check?

And by the way. . I love that this mouse actually has a real genuine Tom and Jerry cartoon-style mouse hole. I'm a bit disappointed though that the photoshopper didn't put a little door on it with a doorbell or knocker.

I sent my son the above review and he sent this back to me. . .how Gen Y'ers describe Les Miserables to each other. . .

Awesome. . .Rory would be so proud.

She left out the great performance by Bellatrix. . .

**A British guide was leading a group of American tourists through Runnymede.

"It was here,” he announced, “that Magna Carta was sealed.”

“When?” asked one of the tourists.

“1215,” said the guide.

“Dammit,” said the tourist, glancing at his watch. “We missed it by a half an hour.”**

I have sent this to all my Elec Eng friends under the subject line:"EE's are Geniuses"

They now hate me.

very nice. The Real Restoration Hardware should look as nice.

D

So I will go ahead and answer my own question. . .

Pretty Darn worth it. and I stink at this. . .so in the hands of you wizards---pure magic.
