Okay . . . because “Transformers: The Movie” is coming out in less than a week and geeks everywhere are getting worked-up about it (myself included), I thought I’d post something of a confession: here are some sketches from my (delinquent + geek) graffiti/spraypainting days in the late 80’s. I did a Tranformers “Unicron” piece beneath a bridge, and here’s a sketch I did of the Transformers logo in Japanese. Remember: it was the late 80’s and I was young and both graffiti and geekdom were still oldskool.

If you have the time, visit Safari West – an African animal preserve on the outskirts of the Napa Valley in California. My wife and I recently spent a night there; there’s nothing quite like waking up to the squawking of ring-tailed lemurs. The video will explain it all:

“I feel a great disturbance . . . as if a million geeks cried out in ecstasy and then were suddenly silenced.”

Location: the Apple Store, Downtown Palo Alto (University Ave.), CA. (”The Heart Wallet of Silicon Valley”)
Time: 6hrs 11 mins to iPhrenzy.
Local Mood: Perhaps the largest collection of geeks without Star Wars or Renaissance Faire costumes on (and Shatner isn’t at a table signing stuff).
Am I Buying An iPhone?: Hell no. I prefer $600 in groceries. I just duct-taped my iPod to my cellphone and it’s pretty much the same thing.

I wish more journalists would be like Mika Brzezinski, but one must wonder if she’ll be able to keep her job after this (even though it certainly is admirable):

Are you just over snowboarding? Are moto-x and vert skateboarding too tame for you?

If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then I’ve found the next sport for you…EXTREME IRONING.

“Extreme Ironing is the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt.”

– ExtremeIroning.com

And according to its wikipedia page, Extreme Ironing has taken place on the mountainside of a difficult climb, in forest, in a canoe, while skiing or snowboarding, on top of large bronze statues, in the middle of a street, while parachuting, and even underwater. Enjoy!

Enter the wonderful world of Google mashups, this is an oldie but a goodie. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

Enter points on the map where you want to go, zoom in and be as detailed as you want.  It calculates the distance and allows you to save and send the link.

Distance form door step to mail box? Done that 0.0151 miles to be exact (I will be driving next time)

From one side of golden Gate to the other? The uses are endless! Runners, walkers, bored geeks who don’t want to go outside!
