The Crash Kings

NOT SURE IF YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THIS BAND, BUT IF YOU DON'T... YOU'RE WELCOME. WHEN I LISTENED TO THESE GUYS ON THE RADIO I COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL VERY REMINISCENT TO HOW I FELT THE SAME WAY WITH WOLFMOTHER. GREAT FUNKY TUNES AND YOU CAN LISTEN TO A COUPLE OF TUNES HERE.

SVA Portraits

I'M TAKING DREAMWEAVER CLASSES ON WEDNESDAYS AT THE WEST 21ST BUILDING AND DISPLAYED ON THE WALL WERE SELF PORTRAITS MAKE FROM DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. SOME WERE EXTREMELY INTERESTING.


THIS ARTIST USED TAPE AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE ACRYLIC PAINT. I APPRECIATE THE POP ART QUALITY THE BACKGROUND AND SHADES PRODUCE.

THIS ARTIST CLEVERLY USED AN INK STAMP TO OUTLINE HIS FACE. THE SHADING AND TEXTURE IS FANTASTIC.

Apple iTablet

THE APPLE ITABLET COMES OUT TODAY. A REVOLUTIONARY PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY OR ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY? REASONS WHY THIS MIGHT BE AWESOME:

1. THIS THING IS 3G CONNECTED, SO IF YOU HAVE A WEBCAM (OR IF IT HAS ONE ALREADY INSTALLED) IMAGINE TELEPHONE CALLS A LA JETSONS.
2. MAGAZINES LIVE ON?
3. CAN REPLACE MANY HOME PERIPHERALS.

WE'LL FIND OUT LATER TODAY, 1PM EXACTLY.
