Blogs of Interest: Boing Boing

I randomly stumbled across this blog from a science news website. I feel as tho I should have been exposed to something as awesome as this sooner. Much much sooner. It’s a got a fucking fractal teddy-bear! How cute is that?! Possibly even cuter than this. Cuteness levels are approaching critical mass here people.

In other news, I finished up Charlotte’s Inner Monologue today. Very pleased with the music for it, I’ll post it up once I’m done polishing it (everything needs a good polish). I still need to fiddle around with the key it’s in so it flows well from After Dinner with Cam right before it. Which reminds me, I recently stumbled upon GarageBand and I’ve gotta say, it’s an incredibly useful program that I wish was available on PC. But since it’s not, my next big purchase evidently is gonna be a Mac Mini. The left hemisphere of my brain salivates in sweet, untangible, anticipation.

Blogs of Interest: AnnaTheRed’s Bento Factory

Today I was directed to, quite possibly, the coolest thing I have ever seen. It’s a blog (naturally) called AnnaTheRed’s bento factory and it’s about, well, just look.

Katamari Damacy Bento

She MAKES this stuff.... HERSELF!

I would pay good money for a meal this gastronomically creative. Art should penetrate everything like a burly inmate, enriching our lives with culture and insight. Also; IT LOOKS DELICIOUS.

She’s got bento boxes with scenes from Super Smash Brothers, Wall-E, Spirited Away and lots more. Totally cool stuff. I might have to attempt this with sushi sometime….

Luigi and Toad Futo Maki anyone?
