And it also wants to make Dr. Oz into "Droz."
Symmetrical? Sure. But I have to wonder what this says about my mind.

Dr. Oid
When I see an ad for the Droid phone, my mind wants to make it into "Dr. Oid."
And it also wants to make Dr. Oz into "Droz."
Symmetrical? Sure. But I have to wonder what this says about my mind.

Sketch for New Soapdish
Silicone. As realized, not so great.
Not what I was hoping for, but it has some interesting dynamical geometry:

Lint
Why don't you ever see a garment the color of dryer lint? That bluish grey, or the purply color? I guess they're averages, not real colors.

I don't really understand how I got nearly right-angle trails on this shot. It was a 6-second exposure, and after a five-count, I tipped the tripod to the left, pivoting on two of the feet.

Song
I don't wanna go to work

all Aristotelian

forget it
you bet
don wanna go
wanna go to
go to wo-oo-ork,
not me

5-3/4"
I bought this big jar of pickles today. When I got it home, I wanted to put it in the fridge.
I wonder if it'll fit in the door. How deep is the door? I have no idea. It seems like that would be a worthwhile thing to know.
I thought about it. Why haven't I ever measured that?
Because, in my mind, the fridge is a 'keeping things cold' environment. It's not a 'getting measured' environment.
I've overcome that. Now I know.
All I've got to do now is measure everything that I could ever possibly want to put in the door of the fridge.
Then I'll be all set.

Nux Vomica

Nux Vomica is a natural source of Brucine

Well, sure, if you say so.
But I don't see how they're anything like equivalent technologies.

"Damn, the network's down again.
Could you be an angel and preheat the oven to 350 degrees?"
"I've never liked this show. Where's that shovel?"

HAPPINESS
by Adam Green
2008
Congratulations, Adam!
I don't know about you, but I see more than a casual similarity between Adam's piece, originally from 2008, and the current image from Safeway's SAVE campaign.
In the Safeway ad, the letters are made up of post-its with marked down prices rather than potato chips, but visually they're nearly indistinguishable. Same font and everything. I'm just sayin'.
Adam wrote:
I did notice this ad campaign. I believe the original happiness preceded this campaign by about a year... it was however inspired by a trip to Safeway at three in the morning.
I'm impressed by the evenhanded sangfroid of his response.
