What to do when you think someone is video recording something.
It’s an easy simple rule actually, if you think that someone might possibly be recording something on their cameras you should not asking them “Are you taking video?” Please allow me to rant here because THAT IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING YOU COULD EVER DO. Not only is it a retarded question that can be answered by a single more second of observation but you just potentially ruined the video dumb ass thanks.
Baggage Carousel PSA
I absolutely hate it when people stand around waiting for their bag at the airport baggage carousel. Stand back! Let people get their stuff when they see it!
Making something easier makes it less meaningful?
Sometimes easier isn’t always better and that’s how I feel about social media.
PJ Haiku
I’m here in the PJ room at my school at RIT. While sitting through a long critique I decided to start writing Haiku:
Here I sit in class
Why are we still here talking?
I want to go home
Come on! You’re outside!
f/22, 1/25th?!
You should leave here
I can’t do it long
Listening to audio
Nothing to look at
This room is a cage
I check the clock often
Got PJ room blues
Lauren and Loret
They just keep going at it
Can we just move on?
Maybe I’ll continue this, heh.
Did abortion bring down US crime rate?
I recently listened to a pretty interesting podcast by “U. of Chicago superstar economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner.”
The premise was that US crime rates fell when abortion was legalized. Why? I’m not going to get into it but it has been something I’ve been thinking about and pondering.
I’m not gonna get into it because this is a crazy topic with very passionate arguments behind it. HOWEVER, it is an interesting point.

Still Evolving
As technology gets better it seems our need to remember once important tidbits of information are simply irrelevant. We rely so heavily on our devices and applications to remember for us, keeping our heads clear for other activities or objectives.
Now, I sit here, trying to study for school. I realize how difficult it is to keep my attention on the matter and the difficulty involved in trying to recall facts. My skills and abilities aren’t in remembering facts, dates, etc, but rather knowing where the information can be accessed in the event I need it.
I think of something one of my friends said during a conversation recently about evolution. “Even now, we are still evolving.” So how are we still evolving?
I think of the technology we have invented for ourselves in the last 10-15 years. How these advancements may effect us evolutionarily. Will our body’s anatomy shift to hold a cell phone better? Our necks get stronger over time from having been bent in a chair staring at a screen. How will our brains behave differently? Will we remember number sequences anymore? (How many phone numbers can you recite right now?). Will we all end up putting our collective memories on the “cloud?”

Saw this dubstep/dance video and I had to post it. No for real’s though, this is gonna blow your mind.
A trip to Austin in September
I’m taking a trip to Austin between September 9th and September 11th.
For a Wedding. I can’t wait to eat a rattlesnake rabbit hot dog. I love Austin! Also, I get to see my friend Carlos. The same Carlos I rode across North America with on a bicycle. REUNION!
What is, the Ministry of Doom?
What am I doing right? Starting another blog? Another project I can’t maintain?
Well, just cross your fingers alright. I realized that recently that Flickr has gone from me messing around to me using it to post my work. It has gotten to be a bit more serious then I’d have liked. I’ve decided to take a step back, set up something easy, and go from there.
I’ve recently become addicted to Instagram, amazing little photo program. I also decided to get into the Tumblr craze (I know I’m late to the party, whatever). It’s considerably less powerful, and it’s so user friendly I find it quite difficult to get it to do what I want. Then later, find out “I can’t do that in Tumblr.” That’s a different blog post all together.
Come check out the Ministry of Doom, but beware!
Subscribe, and let’s have fun!
My New Cards!
They totally rock, thanks to my friend Carla for designing them. She’s for hire folks and she does a great job and I just let her do her thing. No lie.
Typical Joe Move
I have a really cool belt. It’s so cool I wear it all the time, it’s a normal brown leather belt with a buckle. But what makes it cool is that I can take the buckle off and on it is a bottle opener, a philips and flat-head screw driver, and the part that you slide the belt in after the buckle comes off to use as a wrench.
In fact, here’s a photo:
This belt is falling apart, and I’ve lost so much weight in the last couple months (20lbs) that I’m on the last notch and it’s not keeping my pants up. SO, I embark on the magical journey to find a new belt.
Amazon.com, I spend time looking at belts, reading reviews. Before I realize it I’ve purchased the following:
- Adult Jedi Bath Robe
- Two Swiss Tech UKCSB-1 Utili-Key 6-in-1 KeyChain MultiTools
- A messenger bag, written on it “Bag of Holding”
- A wireless charging base for my iPhone (Going straight in the car)
- Titanium spork
- 2 Annoy-a-tron’s (for a crafty prank I have in the making)
- And because I spent some monies they threw in a Phantom TV remote changing keychain thing.
I did eventually end up buying a belt, specifically Kenneth Cole REACTION Men’s Waldorf.
Also, it took me 3 hours to write this post… SO DISTRACTED.
Black Sands…
So, Bonobo which is pretty much my favorite chill music group has a new album called “Black Sands.” and yes I know it came out a year ago but it’s new to me, and I can’t believe I didn’t know. I’m gonna give it a listen now! I’m super excited.
In my Undies
Today, I road my bike to Potash from Moab, about 40 miles in total. I drank about 150oz of water, swam twice in the colorado to cool off. Picked berries from a tree by a natural spring. It was 99 degrees outside which gave me the first stages of heat exhaustion. Since the heat was so intense, about 10 miles into the ride I decided to strip down to nothing but my boxers. I got to see some dinosaur footprints, and some indian petroglyphs. Today was a good day.
This is me being exhausted in Potash, which wasn’t really a town but a mining company, I found some shade just off the road near their warehouse.
