Approximately 85 minutes ago I found out that "Koyaanisqatsi" is available to watch on Google video. It's possibly my favourite film (I'm such a stoner hippy, me). If you've nothing better to do, why not go watch it? Okay, the compressed format might hinder you fully appreciating the cinematography, but you'll get the gist. I like the shot of the pilot, and the scenes in the sausage factory best.

Not recommended if you have a fatal aversion to minimalist orchestral music and/or time-lapse photography.

If you want to know what the hell I'm on about, go here first. 

The Milk and Cheese piece for Ben's Charity Auction is now up on e-bay.

Please consider tossing it a bid if you're into it, or consider bidding on one of the other pieces if you're of a mind. The money will benefit a good cause. I'll be shipping the M&C piece directly to the winner, so if they want, I will gladly personalize it for them. And maybe toss in a few extras, to boot.

Bidding starts at a measly buck for everything.

Milk and Cheese/World's Funnest pin-up for the Ben's Charity Art Auction organized by Thomas Denton through his Say it Backwards website. From what I understand, this is going up for auction tomorrow with a second wave of offerings. If I hear otherwise, I'll let folks know.

UPDATE 5/10: The M&C piece is now up for auction, you can see the listing HERE.

There's a number of drawings up for auction at the moment, this first wave goes up in about twelve hours from the time I type this. Here's a link to the auction for the Transmetropolitan page by Darick Robertson. 

Also, the Hulk piece I posted a few weeks ago will be auctioned off soon as part of Korry Smith's fundraising effort for The American Cancer Society. That benefit's been held back while Mr. Smith recovers from leg surgery, as soon as it goes ahead I'll post the information on it.



 

Three cheers, everyone, for the return of blacklisting. Tailgunner Joe would be proud. 

Note that one can be put on this new database for alleged (and therefore unproven) misconduct. And while the legal safeguards of DPA might apply, no one is informed when they're put on it - you can't demand alteration of a record you don't know exists. A bloke from the company who provide this system sez: "Theft in the workplace hurts staff as much as employers because it puts everyone under suspicion", which is interesting when you remember that anyone "under suspicion" can go on to the database. Maybe we're all supposed to spy on our colleagues and report their pencil-stealing and websurfing-instead-of-work activities to save our own necks? It's reminiscent of [Godwin deleted]

The class war continues apace (although I suppose it's not really a war if only one side fight, while the other side do nothing).
