BBB's compendium of things

A place to store thoughts, images, finds and other things for mostly my own amusement. (If you laugh too that's fine.)

Bueller? I hope so!

Word on the street says it's merely a crappy Honda ad. I can't tell you how excited I was in hopes of a long-lost sequel. Save Ferris!

Happy Birthday Jeremy: 2012

For those that are unaware, my friends and I like to have fun. We especially enjoy fun when it involves PhotoShop and pictures of each other.

Because: PhotoShop + pictures of friends x other pictures = fun
(yes, that is a real mathematical equation)

Anyhow, videos are fun too. The above equation could probably be adapted to After Effects but I don't know how to use it very well. (Just ask Adult Swim's Tim and Eric) Videos are especially gratifying when they are super-silly with abandon and celebrate those we love. With that context firmly in hand I present my weirdest creation of 2012 (so far, it's only January)

GO! JEREMY! BIRTHDAY!

Challenge: What would you wish for now?

Here's an awesome collection of Sear Wishbooks and other catalogs that have been scanned page by page.
The catalogs run 1942-1992 with particular emphasis on the 70's and 80's.

Here's the challenge: pick a year from one of your favorite Christmases. If you could wish for any ONE item now, what would it be?

Post your one item (and a link to the catalog photo page on flickr) in the comments of wherever you happen to be reading this.

3 minute (or less) paintings you will not believe.

If the sermon painters ever worry about how much time they'll have, I'll show them this video. Wow!
