TheSherpa is a blog of incoherent ramblings by me, TheSherpa. There is no real meaning behind the TheSherpa, the blog, except for me to laugh, opine and sometimes whine.
But, really, this is just a place for me to let my other personalities out of their dungeon to play a little. However, as hard as I try to try to respect others views and opinions, there is no guarantee. Feel free to feel offended. :]
We all love the Internet. We love the personalities that have influenced our outlook on everything from unicorns named Charlie to Diet Coke. Weezer, one of my favorite bands have pulled together quite a few of the best and (not so) brightest from the tubes for their new music video Pork and Beans.
Have a gander, then go buy it! The world needs more people kicking back and listening to fun bands like Weezer… Life has gotten way to serious.
Over several months, one artist put roughly 40 hours of Illustrator drawing work into a piece called “Science Machine.” And over that time, he had his computer screencap the project every five seconds. The result, along with some B-roll and a soundtrack, is what you see in this video.
I thought you might like a screen cast I made of me working in Vista on Adobe Illustrator on a 40-hour project. It’s pretty much a music video as well. I’ve screwed with my install of Vista a lot, so I got some crashes and some BSODs, but obviously those were not captured. On the whole, I’ve been very happy with the OS, though.
Anyone who knows me knows that I spend most of my waking hours inside of a terminal window… When I was in elementary school, back in the early eighties, I taught myself Basic programming. The language, not to be confused with simple and definitely not the refined visual stuff the kiddies do today, the hard core, before the language had any real documentation, programming.
I read in a magazine that MIT had some students that were building and programming robots and they were using Assembly, Pascal and Basic to program them. I wanted to go to MIT and build robots too. Well, since I was only eight or nine at the time, I could not find anything on Pascal in the small town I grew up in and everything I asked for about assembly turned out to be about building something or other. So I chose Basic.
Anyway, to make a long pointless story short’er’, this music video is right up my alley, in fact, it might be in my top three music videos of all time list. Enjoy.
