Lately I’ve been watching some German TV shows to keep up my language skills. My favorite so far is “Heute-Show” from the ZDF channel, which has the same premise as the Daily Show – political news review. Sadly, Heute-Show is only once a week, but the great commentary on the country’s politicians is very entertaining [...]

I went to see Harry Potter 7 part 1 last night, which I was excited about even though I knew it would not be all that awesome. I was rather disappointed that despite being promised by my coworkers that there would be lots of people dressed up, I only saw a handful of people with [...]

As anyone who pays attention to Star Trek culture knows, one of the most important debates ever is which captain is the best. So here are my views on this matter. Also I am expanding it to “people in charge of space vessels on TV” since Nate always complains when the people I like are [...]
I have been watching the Daily Show (because I’m more interested in spending my news-reading time on German news than American news, and it is a good reminder that I need to not take things so seriously) and variations of the Dove “Manthem” commercial have been shown frequently. Abe and I were talking about how the [...]
Now that ImagineRIT is over, I have time again to update my blog about these sorts of things. I spent most of Friday rendering nice designs for the kiosk (we had to cut down the graphics for the live version, and the projectors mutilated the video quality) and working on info posters for the room. [...]

This is a purely art piece I’ve been wanting to do for several years now, so I’m [...]

And people talk about research, sketching lots of alternative solutions, comping… nope. It works like this. :P And this is a nice video. Interesting and meditative, and kind of pretty. Black Lake from David OReilly on Vimeo.
Fox’s treatment of Joss Whedon is continuing to astound their audience, I think. Or at least greatly disappoint his fans. Dollhouse has evidently been cancelled after a month off the air. Upon its return on Dec. 5, Fox is now hurrying through all their episodes, apparently showing two each Friday night until mid January. Apparently [...]

I’ve recently noticed that I’m receiving the benefit of the door holding effect here at RIT, which I find amusing. A certain amount of the time, it has actually been extended ridiculously far beyond the 2-foot range, into the 15-20 foot range. No cars here have changed to the other side of the street to [...]
