General NewsWhat a tragic weekend, and confusing too. You probably heard about the death of Jeff Goldblum, and then that it was only a rumor, but the man himself has these words to day to assure us all.

General NewsIt's mostly about things other than the movie.

And we were standing on the back patio, waiting for [Obama]. And he came through the house, saw me and immediately put his hand up in the Vulcan gesture. He said, "They told me you were here."

PhotographyI have a friend. I met him on the internet. He inspired me to take photography more seriously and improve it as a craft. My skill and improvement owes a big debt to his help.

Right now he's in a contest. The rules are pretty simple. Your submit a dream photography assignment. People vote on it. The top 20 assignments will go before a panel of judges as finalists, and the judges will pick the winner.

All he wants is to get his assignment before that panel. The rest is in their hands. Up to that point, he needs your help. He's 21 votes away from being in the top 20. He's been in the top 20 for the entire contest until today. There's just over 24 hours until voting ends and he's 3% of his total votes out of the running. Every vote will make a difference. You will make a difference.

You have to register to vote. But don't worry. They don't send you spam. It's just to keep voting under control and ballots from being stuffed. It takes 5 minutes. 5 minutes and you can make a difference.

Go here, read up on his dream, and please vote:

I don't think you know what bread is...

ThoughtsOn some advice on ingredient substitutions, and whether something should be substituted 1:1, I just read: "Yep....same...or more...or less....doesn't really matter...bread is not an exact science."

If anyone ever gives you bread advice like the above, stop listening to them and find another source. Top bread chefs will measure out ingredients by weight because volume measurements can't be trusted. It's true you can fudge the numbers quite a bit for some ingredients, but even the slightest alteration will result in a different tasting bread. Because baking bread is an exact science.

General NewsDon't ever change, SF. Or rather, keep on changing constantly.

General NewsSomewhere between 3 and 4 years ago, I put up an app counting down days until Bush left office.

With 1 day left, I'm thrilled to be able to take it down.

ThoughtsThe first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be one-of-a-kind for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- No clue what it's going to be. It may be a drawing. It may be a short story or a poem. It may be a comic. It may be a song. It might be a video or photo. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. You can try to influence me with your comment, but it may or may not have any effect.

The catch? There is no catch. Although if you want to spread the love in your own journal, feel free.

DrawingDrawing is like falling off a bike.

If you don't throw yourself into it, it's liable to look embarassing.

Superbowl Prediction

Fiction and PoetryI don't often talk about sports, but I feel so confident with my prediction for the team that will win the Superbowl that I can't help it.

The Philadelphia Phillies are going to take it.

Fresh from the World Series, with victory still on their lips, they'll parachute down from the Goodyear Blimp, and armed with bats, commence beating down all the players on the field, referees, and anyone else who tries to stop them. Then, they'll scoop of their rewards, trophies, rings, cheerleaders, A-list celebrities, as a helicopter lands on the 30 yard line to load them up for an escape.

Thus, it will ensure that it's not only the most memorable Superbowl in the history of football, but also the best victory by any team since Marathon.

Also, the subsequent air to air combat probably will not be televised, but will make a great movie.
