RetarDEAD Themesong Out: Featuring Yours Truly

Wired just published a piece on the follow up to the lovely little piece of poo that is Monsturd.
(My Monsturd site.)

Could directors Rick Popko and Dan West think of anything worse than a serial killing shit monster?
Of course they could!

The new movie is called "The RetarDEAD" -- and I'll apologize to just about everyone ahead of time for its very existence. There's just no excuse.

I got to play the wife of one of the main characters this time!

I have some 'making of' videos and things to put up with me singing lead in a duet with Girl Trouble lead singer Kurt "KP" Kendall, and also singing backups with the "Retardettes."

Here's a
link to the mp3
-- I have the lyrics around here somewhere.

Oh and the song is totally available for remix:

The song is ultimately at the audience's expense. If that helps any.

Video of Aubrey de Grey on Colbert Report

Wow my worlds collide again. I just met Aubrey last October.

Now, he's on the Colbert Report.

(sidenote: I have an 45 minute interview of my own with him that I'll be putting up soon, but I really wanted to present it just the right way. I told him I wanted the "homer simpson version" of what the hell he was talking about, and by golly, I think he gave it to me :-)

Stephen's skepticism actually does a really nice job of framing Aubrey arguments too! Nice work Stephen!

You can find out more by picking up a copy of Aubrey's book too.



Learn more about Aubrey's SENS platform.

All hail The Colbert Report.

McCain On TV Funhouse

You know, everything I have to say about John McCain I already said back in 2004.

What was true then is perhaps even truer now. This animation says it better than words ever could.

Big Tuesday Going On "Somewhere out there"

I'm going out to go vote right now...... and I've already said "go obama" and all that...

But in reality, I'm much more fixated on virtual reality right now, as I've been working with a group of people called "The Wishfarmers" that you're going to hear me start yappin' about... as is my way... when I get infatuated with a new project.

Come to my metaverse playpen, and click "play" on your video and audio controls.

Spot will be doing an exhibit in the
Node Zero Galleries
in early March.

I Say: "Vote For Obama!" - My Mom Says: "Vote for Hillary!"

My mom has never done anything like this before, but, she's asked me to let you know that she is voting for Hillary.

I don't know which is funnier - Thinking you might vote for Obama because I do, or thinking you'll vote for Hillary because my mother does.

The choice, of course, is yours :-)

Making Blogging a Priority Again

Hey gang.

I've been promising a lot of people, including myself, that I'd start blogging again soon.

Well the time has come.

It's rather ironic that, right when my life's getting rather interesting -- at least it seems that way to me :-)
-- I suddenly become too busy to blog -- and for like two or three years, I guess.

Well, I'm back. And I'm here to stay, I hope.

There's too much going on. Too much to talk about. Too much to share. Too much to learn.

'nuff said!
