1) Technology can be pretty inspiring, for example we now have the means to make little mechanical bird beaks, robotic dolphin flippers, artificial human limbs, cars that get over 45 miles per gallon, fancy computer iPhones, yet for all these wonderful achievements we have yet to figure out how to actually properly get humans in and out of an airplane. There is something about an airplane that makes people forget what they are doing, where they are going, and what happened to their bag. I'm working on some sketches of the world's first auto-ejecting plane seats for folks that take to long or possibly a giant robot police type deal complete with a tazer with signs posted, "If you take to long to get off the plane... THE TERRORISTS WIN!"
2) Alison tricked me into playing her Nintendo DS, which she loves dearly. Now I can't say for certain, but I believe heavy doses of old school Metallica (Ride the Lightning) at high volume or perhaps when she explains the directions midway through the game has an adverse effect on the results of this so called "Big Brain Academy." I failed miserably, well actually I got a D but according the little animated expert my brain is only half the size of a normal human being. Which now that I type that, hmm, sounds about right. Ohh, I also played "Flash Focus" and evidently I have the eyesight of a 40 year old, which is awesome considering I'm only 31.
More to come...
