The best Project Runway episode EVER

HeidiIt’s no secret I am a huge fan of Project Runway. I just can’t live a week without being reminded to “carry on.” i’ve even reached the uber-fan-freak level by sending an email to Santino asking about one of his t-shirts he wore on the show (he never responded… the bastard!) That sounds even worse than I thought. I need some therapy.

So, imagine my surprise when I discovered a Project Runway out-take that had escaped my ever-vigilant Project Runway eyes: The Lost Episode of Project Runway

Suddenly Rocky looks like a pussy

I can’t go 10 days without some Perrier, an episode of Project Runway, and a burrito at El Galope in Palo Alto. The men went as long as 15 days without food, of which seagulls, raw fish, and seaweed were their primary diet. Rambo, mountain climber, arm wrestler, and momma’s boy… Stallone has a long way to go to match this bravado.

Def Con adventures

I’m not at Def Con, the convention for hackers and anti-hackers. Heck, 90% of the tech would go straight over my head. However, Alex “The Iron Wall of Foosball” is at Def Con and sending a stream of blog posts highlighting the weekend’s adventures. Tune in and pretend that you too were picking locks and picking on the norms.

Musique diptych

I have a little power struggle with my scanner. It thinks it knows more than me. It wants to decide where images begin and end. Don’t even try to argue with it about images with black borders.

So, imagine my glee when the scanner created this diptych out of two negs. Ok, maybe not glee, but a whimsical, hmm that’s cool. Ok, it was more like, I’m too lazy to re-scan this the manual way and it’s starting to grow on me.

When I sell this image to the Museum of Photographic Arts for a cool million, you’ll know the inside story.
