According to The Universal Record Database, I now a hold the world record for "Most Imaginary Telephone Conversations Had Using Non-Telephones In 30 Seconds".
Brooklyn, New York's Adam Varga had four imaginary telephone conversations using non-telephones in 30 seconds, a new world record. Varga used a woman's shoe, scissors, a mug and an iron to achieve the feat.
Last night Biana & I watched a lightning cloud pass underneath the moon against an otherwise blue sky from our Brooklyn rooftop. We shot a little video of the phenomenon. It wasn't no double rainbow... but still.
Crunch crunch crunch crunch. I've quietly launched a music analytics side project called Boomscope. Here's a little video overview. What do you think?
I just got back from an impromptu trip to New Orleans with Biana. You can check out all the pics here.
Highlights of our trip included The Pharmacy Museum, a 5-story tree house built by artists using salvaged materials from Katrina, riding the St. Charles Streetcar, checking out some old cemeteries, and trying Absinthe.
I learned 3 amazing new facts while watching Pee-Wee's Christmas Special (1988!) with Biana the other night.
1. Mrs. Renee... and the claymation dinosaur family are Jewish.
Chag Sameach.
2. Magic Johnson and Magic Screen (the character that Pee-Wee jumps into when he plays connect the dots) are cousins.
Also, according to Wikipedia, Magic Screen is a girl.
3. Somewhere is a prop closet in Hollywood is the most amazing snowsuit I've ever seen. I want!
I went hunting for the 1586 in Brooklyn this morning after discovering the In Numerical Order group on Flickr. I found it a block away from my apartment.
The 1585 was a white stencil spray painted on a red background. The 1584 was part of a phone number on a poster. And, the 1583 was a few billiard balls lined up in a row.
We had a recurring segment on Dailysonic (my old podcast) called 30-Second Life Stories. I used to walk around NYC with a mic in hand, asking total strangers to tell me their stories.
I contributed a little idea to The Photojojo Book and got a copy in the mail last week. The book comes out today. It's great. Everyone who flips through it agrees. Congrats to Amit for putting together an awesome book about doing photography.
Saturday night I headed to Brooklyn Fireproof East with Biana. We had a quiet glass of wine while moped gangs from all over the United States drank PBR and lit urinals on fire. The best bits of 1990s era hiphop played in the background. This webpage has something to do with what we witnessed, but I think I need to have a moped to truly understand.
On Sunday we headed to Govorner's Island and bicycled around with Biana's friend Jon. The real action was in the water. Swimmers from around the world were competing in a 10 kilometer swim around the island. After the race, the swimmers got the river scum hosed off of their bodies. There was a guy with a kite there taking aerial photographs. Check his photos out.
