Lately, I’ve been reveling in the number of amazingly appropriate typos present on the world wide interwebs.
Here is a classic example:

Sci-Fi Invasion Trilogy
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009
So, Jason, Rick and I wrote a Sci-Fi trilogy for the PRF Songwriting challenge.
Yes, we were ambitious. The theme was inspiring (sci-fi) and there was fresh snow impeding travel.
It’s little rough around the edges… but not bad for a few hours work.

It’s called Invasion Trilogy.

I LOVE ILLUSTRATION
Friday, February 20th, 2009
So being a full time freelancer, I’m looking at ways of diversifying my income – especially supplementing my large project based paychecks with smaller more frequent paychecks – the trickling stream method, if you will.
So, one of my strategies to create passive income is through the sale of stock illustrations and flash files. There are number of sites that specialize in this sort of submission / payment method. They get paid. You get paid. Clients get high quality work for affordable prices. Everybody wins. Two excellent examples that I plan to participate on are:
www.flashden.net
www.istockphotos.com
Here is my first submission. It only took me a few hours and was so much fun to work on.
I LOVE ILLUSTRATION.
I love it so much, I’m going to actively seek out more illustration jobs. It’s such a lovable combination of arty, imaginative and potentially lucrative.
Watch out illustration world, here I come.

Giant SQUID cake!
Friday, February 20th, 2009
Have you ever wanted to know how to make a giant squid cake?! ME, TOO!
Thankfully, a marvelously clever woman (Beth Johnson) has posted instructions on how to do just that. My life is a little more complete now.
I give it two YUM YUUUUMs! (Gremlins reference – the food equivalent to two thumbs up.)

The Scorpion Queen and the Centipede King
Sunday, February 15th, 2009
In honor of Valentine’s Day I want to bring your attention to the most awesome couple I’ve encountered in years. Meet the Scorpion Queen and the Centipede King:
Kanchana Ketkaew, 36, who set a world record in 2002 for spending 32 days in a glass cage with 3,400 scorpions, wed 29-year-old Bunthawee Siengwong — who set a Thai record for enduring 28 days with 1,000 centipedes. They married on Valentine’s Day 2006.
LOVE AT FIRST BITE: They met on a snake farm while both were trying to beat world records for cohabitation with deadly insects. I didn’t really believe in true love before… but now I think I may.

F my life
Friday, February 13th, 2009
Having a bad day? You’re not alone.
Check out:
After I read this entry, I was sold:
“Today, as I was getting dressed after having sex with a guy
I like, he told me I looked better with my clothes on. FML”
Even if you’re not having a bad day, this site will still make you feel warm and bubbly inside. They should advertise www.fmylife.com as instant perspective.
POINT PROVEN: It can always gets worse. Count your blessings.
Site discovery thanks to the lovely and talented IZZY NIES.

Flash and the iPhone- lovers at last???
Monday, February 9th, 2009
Okay, so that’s a bit of an exaggeration. They are nowhere near lovers… but, at least, it seems they are beginning to flirt a bit.
As a flash designer and animator, I have been pulling for adobe and apple to put aside their differences and learn how to play well together for A LONG, LONG TIME. It seems as though the peace process has finally begun…
