Skrillex posted just released the video for “First Of The Year (Equinox)” (Director Tony Truand) last week on Youtube and it already has over two million views. The Equinox video release is in preparation for the kickoff of The Mothership tour, in support of the Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites EP release. I really like [...]
The Robotics Society, which is the non-profit parent of RoboGames, formerly ROBOlympics, is competing for a $25,000 grant to teach underprivileged kids hands on robotics. The grant is through the Pepsi Refresh project, which Pepsi is using as a sort of community stimulus program to give away millions of dollars to fund ideas that they [...]
One of the things I love about Los Angeles is that people take weirdo art seriously here. Tim Burton has a major exhibit running all summer at LACMA, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art. I don’t always feel good about some of the themes in his movie work, but I always adore his aesthetic [...]
Boing Boing‘s mission is to be a directory of wonderful things and they certainly have some wonderful things posted today. The site currently hosts photos from the Austrian World Bodypainting festival, lensed by a photographed named Heinz-Peter Bader. These images do the best thing such pictures can do, at least in my view, and make [...]
Well, it is May 22, 2011 now, so it appears the zombie apocalypse I was counting on has failed to materialize. I’m going to have to get some work done and do laundry after all. Glad I didn’t do anything too embarrassing at that end of the world party. I love California and California could [...]

The fabulous Lina Lecaro just did an in-depth LA Weekly feature on long-running industrial club Das Bunker. It is interesting to read the history of Rev John and Franck’s regular Das Bunker shindig. Maybe something about Que Sera in Long Beach is good for old skool clubs, as Das Bunker started there and Release the [...]
It has been a really really really good news week. First of all, the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, or DADT, was repealed. For those of you who have been living in a cave, because you hate our way of life, DADT was a Clinton-era piece of legislation. DADT was designed to make it [...]
True to my word, I went to the BOOM Holiday Party at Meltdown Comics yesterday. Luminaries in attendance included writer Kim Krizan, artist Lawrence Snelly and Dave Ehrlich from Chronicle Books. Forrest Black and I spent much of the evening chatting with them about cooking. Larry, Dave, Forrest, and I are all nouveau homemakers, so [...]
If you are in Los Angeles and looking for something to do tonight (or just interested in stalking me), I plan to be at the BOOM Comics holiday party at Meltdown Comics this evening. Beforehand, I am going to learn to make red velvet cake because it is Forrest Black’s birthday. Red velvet cake has [...]
