And by jerks I mean shaun

I submit that some people can be jerks. Haha, I totally just sniped Shaun’s title and turned it into what he would call a sick burn. Basically it’s like he was a smoker hiding in the bushes. He’s all hacking and coughing up green smoke, basically just choking on his over-sized tongue while being generally ashamed of his appearance when all of a sudden I exploded his head with a well-placed shot from the hunting rifle. One minute he was thinking about which of my friends to tongue, and the next he was waiting to respawn as a boomer.
As Laurence would say: Merry Christmas. Also his name might be Francis.

Here is a conversation Devon and I shared yesterday. At a certain point, I find that I care far more about entertaining myself than making sense to the other party. Who cares if they are confused? I suppose with the right mindset they could derive as much entertainment from it as I do.

Shaun and my brother would strongly disagree with this. Their priorities are weighted very differently.

Does that make me a bad human being? Probably, but I’m pretty cool with that.

besides i think you would like k-maps: The Karnaugh map reduces the need for extensive calculations by taking advantage of human pattern-recognition and permitting the rapid identification and elimination of potential race hazards
HUMANITIE
Bradley
you’ve probably never seen a humanity before in your life, robot
Bradley
your face is made up of integrated circuitry
or for short ICs
Devon
huh
Bradley
your heart is a little field mouse running wildly
chasing its dreams while imprisoned within a cylindrical prism
all to power the circuitry of your face

cruelty to animals
Devon
did you know that the only two countries in the eec without minority languages are portugal and england
Bradley
do robots have a natural tongue?
Devon
no simulated or often stolen from the bodies of dead whores
Bradley
whores who died of shock and of shame
after seeing that poor little mouse
locked away in your chest cavity
Devon
quite possibly
Bradley
futily running for his dreams
Bradley
reflect robot
reflect upon your choices
reflect upon your actions
reflect upon your surface
Devon
are robots capable of reflection?
Bradley
better to ask yourself
Devon
are robots capable of questioning?
Bradley
your question is its own answer, robot

As you may have guessed Devon is not, in fact, a robot. And you’re right, this conversation makes little sense – but I found it fun to take part in.

It looks like a little kid drew it

This post is going to be all over the place, and super boring – so here’s a filler picture I tried to draw in the style of studio sketchy. Turned out I am horrible at that; I always want to shade and add light sources. Still, I think it could have worked out better with a felt-tipped, rather than a ball-point pen. Also next time maybe i’ll move my arm so it isn’t casting a shadow directly across the image when I take the picture.

Oh, you actually meant talk?

I fixed a few bugs with codepaste 2, but if anyone finds more let me know so we next-stage that guy.

Talking to Shaun today, I realized I’ve made a lot of things that I’ve only shown to Karl. It’s usually because I’m not happy with how they’ve turned out. Oh, well. Here’s an example.

Once upon a tooth

I know a guy who knows a tooth. In fact, he knows more than one.

Dr. Jonathan Tsang

Dr. Tsang needed a black and white logo he could have printed on a bag. I designed a matching business card (front, back), and will eventually do a letterhead as well. There are some other card designs we’re working on, but that’s my current favourite.

I get the feeling that he would really like a tooth in there somewhere, so I’ll give drawing a tooth a few more tries. If anything works out, I’ll update the logo and do some more card designs.
Here is a tooth:

Uncertainty. Thoughts?

 

I feel like the little tooth lends himself nicely to wearing costumes and hosting educational animations. For example:

Snow Day

I haven’t blogged for a while.

But, you know — today it snowed. It was, they say, a “snow day”.

Resultingly, classes were canceled. It happens sometimes. All the schedules enter disarray; syllabi are crumpled and rewritten.

I had a dilemma, however. I had a lab due today. A lab I had forgotten about until this morning. A lab, that is expected handed in by the start of the next class session — the next class session scheduled today, at 11:45 AM. And a professor that accepts submission by e-mail.
