Sleek, snazzy form also has great swiping on glass face. When you first launch, a robot-y voice blurps “DROID” like a classic 80s robot that answers everything with its own name. On an unrelated note, a woven basket is probably not the best place to keep a guitar.
Seems appropriate that I was flying Virgin.
Can you dominate a species any MORE than having it serve a tray of its own dicks to you??? I guess you could put a propeller beanie on it and a t-shirt that says, “I heart farts,” but this is pretty dang close.
Actually, this is from an amazing Naturalist shop in Soho, NY called “Evolution,” which has a very cool “biology as old-timey art” vibe. I have an enormous insect collection and always drool a little bit at the flawlessness of the specimens they have there.
I don’t own any stuffed critters, just in case you were wondering.
We’ll all agree the title of this post is unnecessarily long and clunky. It doesn’t change the fact that I will be doing many sets in Los Angeles this week:
Tuesday, 10/27, 8p: Comedy Death-Ray – UCB Theatre
Wednesday, 10/28, 8p: Tom Arnold & Friends – Laugh Factory
Thursday, 10/29, 7:30p: Cinematic Titanic – Largo
Friday, 10/30, 9p: Where’s the 101? – The Landing Party
Saturday, 10/31, 5p: I will be appearing at my house dressed as Zombie Greatest American Hero handing out razor-free candy to children I don’t know
These simple, yet adorable creatures are entertaining to watch no matter what they do. I’m referring, of course, to Australians.
Heaps of thanks go out to the mindbogglingly talented Aussie known as Ghostpatrol. Seriously, check out his other stuff. He does this crazy work on the backs of shaved pencils that is RADTACULAR.

The upside is he can use Doc Oc for traction.
John Boswell, the madly brilliant sound-chemist who Auto-Tuned his way into our hearts with “A Glorious Dawn” featuring Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking, has launched the laud-worthy project “Symphony of Science” which is “designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form.” You couldn’t ask for a better goal than that.
The second track (on what I hope is an album’s worth of material) is entitled “We Are Connected” and features a returning Sagan, Richard Feynman, Neil deGrasse Tyson & Bill “50 Cent(iliter)” Nye.
I have also had the pleasure of striking up an email correspondence with Mr. Boswell, and have found him to be a top notch chap. As long as he keeps making these videos, I’ll keep posting them. It’s a much more noble use of this digital enhancement feature than some pop music assclown trying to mask his/her inability to hold a note.
While I stand and applaud this project, you may download the songs here. They are free of charge, but I highly recommend kicking in a small donation on his page to support this kind of artistic geekery.
I happened to be out the other night when the episode of Chelsea Lately I had done earlier aired. Remembering some of the things I had said on the show, I couldn’t help but snap a picture when I realized what the closed captioner would have to type.
Sorry, The Deaf!
