Twenty Six Years Later...I had to be like Indiana Jones to find & dig up this 1999 blog page I created. Looking back it's amazing that it still exists, but is true proof that (seemingly) nothing ever is gone from the interent. And now, in 2026, Google owns the world, robots are taking over, a mad man rules the USA like a tyrant, and I' still have a voice that the world needs to hear. Hoping to actually get something out there while I'm still above ground. HERE WE COME!

Haunted Splendor of Mr. Frost's Film

Beyond surreal and totally artistic this astounding time-lapse short film produced by Jeff Frost is captivating in its zooming portrayal of the haunted world we inhabit.

Like some fully formed ghost in a rainbow colored robe its sweeping juxtapositions of the heavens and the stark landscape captures the very essence and hypnotic beauty of the unseen world that is right in front of us and yet we don’t even notice.

Dimensional paintings of optical illusions created in abandoned houses only adds to the effect of creating a mirage woven of saturated light and frightening contrasts.

Mr. Frost's freaky sci-fi vibe is partly inspired by actual space science...one of his paintings draws its inspiration from a NASA diagram of evidence of The Big Bang of universal creation. 

 His soundtrack also includes sound clips recorded by the spacecraft Voyager 1.

Certainly try to watch this in full screen and Max HiDef to

 fully experience the films amazing visual nuances.

Forget the damn cat videos and rock bands. 

This is where social networks like YouTube really come alive and have some real artistic value. My advice? Watch this!

Having spend over a decade living in the West Indies I've always been fascinated by the saturated Caribbean light and the charming tropical beauty & elegance of colonial decay.

Cuba is near the pinnacle of this sort of thing, and here are some cool shots from there...

Space Science as a Cinematic Thrillier

This short documentary is a novel and groundbreaking approach to the often tedious genre of space science from the documentary makers at NASA, who've really put an exciting spin on the subject in a creative style that we've never seen them use before. 

Their work here turns the exacting nuances of design & industrial engineering as applied to the creation and problem solving of landing an exploration vehicle on the surface of Mars into an exciting roller coaster ride that is pure cinematic drama. 

As a piece of film making I think it's done brilliantly, is more than noteworthy, and is certainly well deserving of a few minutes of your time...

Thought This Might Get Your Attention! Jamming in some cool pix to bump up the thumbnail file count to compensate for no thumbnails when I post videos. Capische?

Super Funky Vedic Tinged Dubstep Duo Rocks the Floor! 

These two Indian cats really put a clever twist on their ultra creative dance routine, mixing up the best notes from east & west in a thoroughly modern expression of physical art & social protest/commentary.

You can't help but be amused & amazed at how much wit they cram into these short and highly energetic videos. 

Namaste Y'all !!!

Twitter Feed Now In Effect!?

Trying to get with it & suck less every day, I'm experimenting with TwitterFeed. This simple post is so I can follow what happens when I post here, where it shows up. Here we go!

Absolutely brilliant execution on this Wizard of Oz 
Mashup Media Dancetrack Remix really sets new standards of excellence in the world of digital cool.

Pogo, AKA Nick Bertke, is the genius behind a bunch of similar Mad Remixes. This one is a contest entry by a gal named Jen that was done in response to a Mellow Brick Road contest Pogo put on. 

It wasn't the winner, but I think it's beyond perfect, 
and hope you'll dig it as well.

As spooky and really upsetting as the digital world is
 (thanks to the ultra creepy mafias that governments are made of)
 it's clever trends in modern digital art like this 
that makes it all seemingly worth the total loss of 
all of our individual rights & privacy....

Adventures In Spicy Chocolate Chili Sauce

Honestly, the one and only thing that I truly missed while living the expat life in various and sundry paradises around Asia was Mexican Food. 

If you have ever known the almighty taco, the eternal enchilada, and the ever radiant chile relleno than you will fully understand what I’m talking about. 

Here in Southern California we are blessed with perpetual sunshine, the blue Pacific, and a rich abundance of Comidas Mexicanas. 

Those of us in the esoteric inner circles of aficionados of this cuisine know that MOLE SAUCE is the holy grail of Mexican food. Done well its rich spicy chocolate chili flavor is like some kind of orgasm of exotic gourmet ecstasy. 

If you are willing to make the effort to drive into the dark heart of the most unglamorous part of LA then you will be rewarded with a treasure worthy of the journey. I hope you don’t beat me there and steal my favorite table, and if you do, the guacamole is on you…
