yeah... i have no idea besides posting some of the more funny ones on facial or some dead message board which no one reads.

Good times, I'm okay. Bad times, I'm okay.

I'm actually at home today, waiting for the delivery of some analogue stuff. My digital age is coming to an end and I couldn't be more excited. I may even make a pinhole camera out of a shoebox, and they I will wander around town cello-taping the images to coffee shop windows. I figure I'll reach more people that way.

In other words, I'm planning to become as pretentious out there, as I am in here. mwahaha.

Watch out world.

I sort of mimicked Michael's Futurepicenter site by posting one picture per day for the full year of 2010:

I never really used flickr as much as I could have. It was good for some time to sort of show off my work when I didn't have a website but I never got the hang of it.

I still keep my account though, there are some decent artsy/amateur pictures in there.

Bless you, my child, for though you have sinned against the Dutchman, you have lightened my spirit and enabled me to leave the path of terror for the verdant fields of vengeance, though with no blood on my hands. For once. In The Corner

Yer, but aerosol paint is extremely expensive here.

Actually the idea of someone like me going around tagging property is even more pretentious than my idea. I like it.

In regards to flickr and similar sites, I think at the end of the day it depends on how much you like being treated like a human tamagochi. That is to say, people ritualistically giving you a pat on the head, a hug, a thumbs up, or whatever it takes to validate your existence and theirs.
