Thoughts

There are very few places left in or around Los Angeles where you can get a drink in a skull mug that's been set on fire.

Angry Birds Total Destruction

All levels of Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio, & Angry Birds Seasons passed with 3 stars. All golden eggs & golden fruit acquired. Total destruction with the dragon on all levels. That's why the ladies love me.

Sing For Your Health!

I made a Webquest for my EDSP 430 course at Cal State Los Angeles (Information and Technologies In The Classroom). It gives a 5th grade class with access to the internet the task of creating their own karaoke songs to educate their classmates on important health issues. CLICK HERE or the image below to see how it's done!

Japanese cover to Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

I ordered this one before last Christmas and it finally arrived yesterday. Is this the first video game to feature Dr. Strange on the FRONT cover*? Answer: Yes it is.

He's on the back cover too!

* See comments for this post provided by Ptor of Sanctum Sanctorum Comix for earlier video game BACK COVER appearances of Dr. Strange.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This is the 7th Valentine's I've spent with my wife Jessica Blair. I love you baby!

Dr. Strange Production Art from the Animated Movie

A nice piece of production art from the 2007 Lion's Gate feature-length cartoon I got recently on eBay that features Baron Mordo, Strange, Wong, and The Ancient One. You can see it in color here!

Into The Zone: The Cacophony Society Movie - PREMIERE

This past Saturday I went down to Santa Ana (about an hour South of Los Angeles) to the Yost Theater for the benefit preview of Jon Alloway's documentary on the Cacophony Society, "Into The Zone".

The movie took about 15 years to make, and it's a fantastic labor of love. An incredibly inspiring and fascinating look at the chaos created by The Cacophony Society, the group who not only inspired Fight Club's Project Mayhem, but were the instigators behind SantaCon, Burning Man, Punk Rock Circuses, and Bike Rodeos. This movie will perpetuate that insanity for a whole new generation.

I'm in the film in a few scenes. You can see me at the Cacophony event we had for the Hale Bopp suicide ufo cult and briefly during Potty Con performing the "Caca Cabana".

There's also video of the clown orgy, which up until this weekend I only thought was a myth. (I wasn't there for that one.)

Here's some pix I originally took in 3D at the event, so most people in the photos are trying to "do something 3Dish"...

BACK!

A big thanks this Superbowl Sunday to my new web hosting service, WINWINHOST.COM. They have kicked some ass getting my site up and running again. A big commercial plug on this site for them today!

More website traffic woes

I'm working hard to get things up and running on the website by the end of the weekend to deal with the greatly increased site traffic. Thanks to everyone for visiting and if some pages don't load for you this weekend, try again on Monday.

My entire website is being bombarded with traffic today

Most pages get a 503 error or are only partially loading.

Can someone please tell me where all these people are coming from?

ADDENDUM: This You Tube posting seems to be the culprit!
