I Don't Like the Looks of This


I Don't Like the Looks of This, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

These just showed up at Oakland City Center 12th St BART. I don't think they're cameras. First, the aperture isn't transparent (to visible light, anyway), unless that white film is a protective cover that they just haven't removed yet. And I find the huge cable with the High Voltage warning to be overkill for something with a passive recording function. They're aimed at entrances to the station. I think that this thing is there to emit rather than absorb radiation.

What's the frequency, Kenneth? (where Kenneth=SONY)

I think that some of this writing is by the guy who constantly tagged my drop-art prayerwheel in Oakland years ago. Hi, you mad misogynist antisemitic fuck! Good to see you.

Time to Die, but Now With Dancing Penguins!

...but not any more. Somebody put dancing penguins all around it! Awww. Really cheers up the grim little sentiment, no?

Time to Die


Time to Die, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

Somebody wrote "Time to Die" on the wall of the stairwell at work months ago. It's begun to get to me, seeing this every day on my way into the office.
