The real thing.

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

So the X-Prize in Seattle was cool — but the actual Space Ship One is now hanging in the Smithsonian — a tad cooler. Right between The Spirit of St. Louis and the X-1.

X-prize.

On a quick visit to Seattle I came across this award for going into space:

And these little models, of the ship that did:

Earth.

Just taking a moment to share this pretty view of Earth I found while playing with 3D Weather Globe and Atlas.

I was looking for the Saab factory, of course.

Return of the Art

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

Years ago I lived in a very nice live-work loft in Oakland — it really loved the large open space and tons of windows. It had huge walls — and so I made some artwork for them. Using my medium of skill, Photoshop, I created a whirl of color on a black background. And then [...]

de Young opening

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

As a special celebration for the opening of the completely re-built de Young museum — it stay open all night long with dancing and DJs. A wonderful San Francisco event with literally hundreds of thousands of folk.

A quick vacation.

Logo maniac

Saturday, August 6th, 2005

Part of the joy of logos — at lest when building from the pre-designed sets — are the complex kits. And when I learned [...]

Firefly returns.

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Yes my favorite TV show is coming to the big screen. Joss Whedon’s sci-fi series is coming back in the feature film Serenity. And here’s the first broadsheet!

Interesting that River is so prominent — always suspected that her mysteriousness would be the central plot of the film. Opening September 30th.
