It’s gold, Jerry! Gold!
Posted by Chris | Filed under Ramblings, Technology
This morning, I was playing around with The Director’s Bureau Idea Generator app for the iPhone. It randomly draws three words from three spinning wheels in hopes of fostering some creativity. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Any one of these ideas could skyrocket me to fame, fortune, and glory:
- Pre-fab breeding toy
- Fair-trade glitter exhibit
- DIY torture furniture
- Secret invisible ponzi scheme
- Bite-sized hallucinatory book
- Erotic candy parade
- Luxurious nuclear hotel
- Healing foam machine
- Oversized chocolate car
- Jewel-encrusted modular website
- Festive murderous opera
- Wicker vibrating decoration
- Automatic mechanized prayer

Not-so manic Mondays
Posted by Chris | Filed under Ramblings
I think Mondays are one of the best things about being a freelancer/sole proprietor. The commute to the office is 12 feet down the hall and aside from an overly affectionate cat, there’s little to no traffic. I also enjoy easing into the day with 20 minutes of personal emails, RSS feeds, Twitter/Facebook updates, Popurls recommended articles and WTF photos, and YouTube videos of Nickelback being pelted by rocks in Portugal.
I do, however, miss 10:15am, 12:30pm, and 2:30pm table hockey tourneys with the boys at RGM. Any freelancers out there wanna come by and play some mid-afternoon road hockey in front of the “Clean Slate Campus?”

The world’s only pink Bottlenose dolphin which was discovered in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA, has become such an attraction that conservationists have warned tourists to leave it alone. More here…
Disqus made my day!

I just discovered that Disqus (the new commenting system) has a feature that allows importing of previous comments! They seem to be back now, which is great. Disqus is pretty cool and features like Facebook Connect are really interesting…
Brilliant TVO Shows of the 70s and 80s
Posted by Chris | Filed under Misc Web Stuff, Ramblings
Just yesterday, I was walking down the street working on my head-bobbing exercises from The Body Works, when just over the fence in the land of chalk drawings (two blocks away from The Secret Railroad), I tracked down a stellar site with pics and videos from all of those awesome and highly fromagian educational shows of the 70s and 80s.
All of my math skills came from a dude in a kangaroo suit. The Little Prince instilled an interest in other cultures. My love for the outdoors most certainly came from Fables of the Green Forest. A creepy hobo clown taught me all I needed to know about French. VisionOn formed the foundation for my current creative pursuits. And on Sunday nights, a wimpy, sobbing bear showed me the perils of being in touch with my feelings.
Check it out here…
BTW: Am I the only one still freaked out by Duneedon?

Installed a new commenting system on the site. Only after I set it up did I clue into the fact that the old comments would be removed. Sorry.
