Time for your vegetables again. Here’s some of the fun stuff that’s flitted across my desk in the last few weeks.
Crazy Silly Creative Things
To start off with our garnish, you could do no better than watching this 3 minute video about what Welshmen really do with sheep. Don’t worry, it’s work safe–but you won’t be while watchign it. This is seriously, amazingly cool.
Johnny Carson presents The Great Flydini, an utterly silly and borderline obscene magic act that will leave you in stitches. Don’t let obscene put you off — it’s work safe.

Well, I’m back. Voice functioning, body seems to be healthy again finally.
Here’s what this means for you all, my loyal readers:
I’m going to fix and drop Episode 13 of Antithesis tomorrow, probably late, assuming the congestion clears.
I’ll start blogging again, with reports from SteamCon and some other interesting updates, later this week.
The feedback episode will record Wed and drop on Thurs or Fri, after which I’ll slide back into my regular production schedule.
I have a backlog of other blog posts to write, particularly more from the Steampunk Education series and the Entitlement Mentality series. Those I’ll be hammering out between commissioned articles (which I now have a backlog of).
Soon, very soon, a calender will be available for purchase featuring my fine art photography. There will be two versions available – one worksafe and one definitely not.
So, if the Creeks don’t rise, I’m now back in circulation. Thank you all for your well wishes.

What if somewhere in the universe there was a room, and in that room was a creature, surrounded by screens and dials and controls. In his room, he sees all, knows all, manages all. He directs the thoughts and actions of every being in the cosmos. Would such a creature be God? And what would it be like to be that being, spending your days and nights watching the screens and managing the affairs of all beings from a control room?
