when life gives you dinosaurs, make googly eyes

close up on a dinosaur head and neck with one white person on screen left side wearing white, with red hair holding their hand up, and I think Chris Pratt behind the dinosaur, holding its head as the dinosaur lays its head down on the grass and exhales.
the dinosaur's eye has been replaced with an animated googly eye that spins as the dino's head hits the ground.

years ago I worked on JW, and was working on this shot, so I had a really good matchmove of the eye. I created and animated a googly eye, stuck it on the dino, and put it in dailies as a joke comp.
anyway, someone reminded me of that, and while I don't have the joke comp, as personal images don't leave ILM's computer system, I did have a blu-ray Jurassic World, a non-commercial copy of nuke, and some free time this evening to recreate it from scratch.

I had a history of joke comps at ILM, like when I put a giant tin toy in to the middle of the fight between transformers in the forest in Transformers 2, or when I removed the refraction AOV from all the creatures in the saloon in Rango for a shot, making them look like zombies because it turned their eyes shiny black.

One of the last photos I got to take of my baby kitten.
Previously : https://mltshp.com/p/1RKG8
So, my kitten was having a lot of struggles the last couple of weeks and was not getting better as expected. His health and mobility were declining. We went to see the veterinarian again today and there were more tests, blood work, and exams. She referred us to a veterinarian that specialized in neurology to see if there was anything that would account for the symptoms that was not FIP.
Ultimately, the new tests, exam, and recent changes in his symptoms indicated an aggressive cancer and a grim diagnosis and no viable treatments. He was very humanely helped across the rainbow bridge cuddled in my arms this afternoon.
Me and five others in my family want to get sushi and eat tuna to celebrate the bravest cat I ever met.
I did the best I could for him and gave him the best life he could have had with the cards he was dealt.

I am so sorry.
Aww I'm so sorry. You did more than 99% of people would or could for him. *hugs*
Eat an extra tuna roll for me for him.

bless you for giving him a good and comfortable life. i'm sure he loved you for it.
and i feel where you're coming from; i've lost some cats far sooner than i thought i would have to because there simply wasn't anything else doctors could do. the right choice still doesn't feel good.
really sorry to hear you lost him. glad you could celebrate his life together at least

Photo of a creepy person with the text:
"The data centre has completely revitalized my community. It has become the third space we so desperately needed, with children playing jump rope and running down the aisles, the elderly enjoying each others company, and people leave floral wreaths inside every day. We crawl around in the total darkness on our hands and knees and our vagus nerves are stimulated by the humming of the machines. Some people have even started to disappear, growing into the walls, and once they are in that state we pay them no mind; they cease to be individuals." - Salesforce Child

a wet river otter is standing on four paws on a wet, rocky outcropping. It is looking to the left, and with its foreground forepaw, it is holding a small, silvery blue fish up against the side of its head as if holding a telephone.

four panel comic of Nancy.
first panel shows Nancy with her typically spiky hair and bow, a sweater and black pants and Fritzi, a tall woman with long curly black hair, a tank top, black pants and wearing an upper arm band. They are walking in front of a brick wall that has a movie poster that shows a woman in a polka dot dress dancing with a man with black pants and white shirt. Nancy says "what a movie!"
panel two - close up on Fritzi. she holds one hand up and says "Eh, I liked the book more."
panel three - the two are walking under a streetlight, Fritzi is looking down at Nancy. Nancy says "Really? Why?"
panel four: close up on Fritzi saying "Guess I just pictured the characters differently." the image behind her shows an imagination bubble with the image of the movie poster, but instead of a man dancing with the woman, a woman looking a lot like Fritzi, wearing a black crop top is dancing with the woman in the polka-dot dress.

Photo of a food package on a store shelf. The product is "Aunty's Delicious Spotted Dick". Below the brand name is "Sultana & raisin / Steamed Puds / microwave 30 seconds". Above the brand name is "The Home of Steamed Puds". There is a photo of a spotted dick on a fine china dish, partially dug into with a silver spoon. It looks like a soggy raisin muffin.

A splintery hole on a wooden porch. No roadrunner was seen. No lessons were learned. Well, I did learn about the amazing strength of my tibia. I shall never take it for granted again.
A weather-weakened board collapsed on my porch, while I had one foot on it, and gravity combined with my own mass means the floor tried to monch its way up my leg. Made it a good distance past my knee too. I'm fine, but, boy howdy, I'm too old for this Tom and Jerry/Wile E Coyote shit...
I had the same thing happen when I lived on the 3rd floor of a 1920s era apartment, put my foot right through the floor of the back stair landing. Scary!
Ow.

That is terrible! Glad you are OK!

Page from a comic book, showing the heads and torsos of a brunette woman and Captain America; they look shocked and appalled and their eyes are wide (Cap's beneath his mask).
WOMAN: I— I see see something—! —But I can't tell what it is!! The light is so dim! Yet I know it is there! It moves in some strange manner—in halting steps—like a man—learning to walk!
CAP: We'll soon find out what that thing is... Stand back! I— It's moving towards us!

Had a wonderful chat and stroll through the Olympic Sculpture Garden with @m3moellering, who was kind enough to take time off from his whirlwind PNW tour to get together. Safe travels on your way to scary Canada, sir!
We had two bags of grass...

Seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. Probably at the next gas station.

this site is amazing: https://walkman.land/
Excellent.
I had a bunch of these over the years through the 90's. My favorite was probably the Panasonic that recorded. I recorded a bunch of stuff from the radio that I still occasionally listen to with that, as well as a couple of concerts. I didn't find it on the site, but its probably still at my parents house.
Eventually I ended up with a high-end Sony (WM-EX677?) on closeout right around the time I was the only one who still cared about tapes. It was super tiny, had full-logic controls and Dolby B, but also had some weird slim rechargeable battery that didn't last long. It could use a AA in a sidecar setup, but it looked super clunky.

Invitation sent to Steve Dompier by Fred Moore on February 17, 1975 inviting Steve to attend the first meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club on March 5, 1975 at the home of Gordon French.
text:
handwritten across the top: "Steve ---- 2/17/75"
and below that, typed:
"AMATEUR COMPUTER USERS GROUP
HOMEBREW COMPUTER CLUB . . . you name it.
Are you building your own computer? Terminal? T V Typewriter? I/O device? or some other digital black-magic box?
Or are you buying time on a time-sharing service?
If so, you might like to come to a gathering of people with like-minded interests. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, help work on a project, whatever . . .
We are getting together Wednesday nite, March 5th, 7 pm at the home of Gordon French 614 18th Ave., Menlo park (near Marsh Road). If you can't make it this time, drop us a card for the next meeting.

and then, again, handwritten is:
"Hope you can come. There will be other Altair builders there."

I used to go to a Commodore users group. It was a lot of fun! Got to witness my first modem connection there.
@Lockjaw we still have one: Toronto PET User's Group
Not really related, but I remember begging my dad to take me to a pizza place so I could meet up with folks from a BBS that I visited. We went and I immediately spotted them, it had to be them. But I was too nervous to go up and join in so I waited until they were leaving to say hi. Two really nice folks encouraged me to come back next time but I was too shy and introverted so I ended up never logging on to that BBS again.

Black Lake Records
alt text
Black and white picture of a seated couple
Anais Munro and Filipe Romero started Black Lake Records in the Spring of 1962 out of the back of their 59 Chevy Apache while travelling along highway 101. Using connections in student papers in University of California and other colleges during their separate and chaotic attempts to be students, they recruited student artists, recording them performing in National Parks, campus auditoriums, and bus stations heading North. They edited and pressed compilation albums in Seattle, where they were stranded cashless for some time each attempt, and then sold the albums on their trips South. Their three trips helped document and promote a new sound of the West Coast that powered both folk and funk movements that followed and stand as a model for current musicologists and anthropologists.

scrap mural
alt text
This is one of my favorite "scrap murals" (I'm not sure what to call these surfaces that are made up of partially removed posters on a weathered base, but I love them). It's on the L1 platform toward Hospital at the Unversitat station in Barcelona.
Maybe "décollage" is the term, though to be accurately applied it may require the art be intentional rather than accidental or discovered. More: https://www.tate.org.uk/art... and https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-...
Perhaps only specific to certain artists, but also known as "affiches lacérées," such as here https://www.maxhetzler.com/exhibiti... and here https://www.galerie-vallois.com/edition...
Also sometimes called "urban palimpsest," though art so described is far more intentional, at least according to what I am seeing: https://kagi.com/images... (and, ugh, just realized that the word "intentional" is now skunked by AI overuse).

Gonna have to start using "purposely" or "purposefully" instead of "intentional."

Braided Painting, Ukraine
alt text
This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture. Looks like a marsh with stream and island, with buttery light from a low sun.
