I’m not really sure what it is called, but when people combine two words where the last letter of the first word and the first letter of the second word are the same they sometimes just use one letter.

I *HATE* that…

This seems to happen pretty often for software for some reason… I guess someone thinks it is witty or that they are saving tons of money by omitting one letter or something…

“Updatexpert”

It isn’t Updat Expert nor is it Update xpert… Just put the other damned “e” in there!

I guess I’ve never really seen much in the way of performance art that actually impressed me or struck me as real art.  I guess everything I’ve seen was just some guy throwing paint at a canvas…where seeing it being made didn’t really add anything…  The only performance art I ever really liked was Bob Ross, but I guess that was really more instructional rather than performance… well anyways…

This is f’ing awesome…

The Iron Sheik is completely different than I remember him from my childhood.   I think the excessive cocaine use has really gotten to him.   I think he’s even crazier than The Ultimate Warrior… He’s pretty crazy now, but really he was crazy then too.   I’m not sure what is up with the Iron Sheik, but he’s pretty whacked out now.   This is in no way Safe For Work ™

I’m not sure why I like paper art so much.   It looks very delicate, time consuming, and horribly frustrating.   I know I would completely shred whatever I was making after ripping it several times and absolutely losing my patience.   So it is basically anathema to me.   I guess that is why I find it so amazing… it seems unimaginable to me that anyone could do this, and then would continue to do it multiple times.   Amazing.

Examples of paper craft artists

I think my favourite is Peter Callesen though.

Okay….the fact that this is at real speed is just ridiculous… I’d love to ride with someone like this in an F3000 car (Is that the same as F1?  I have no idea…)   I’d probably have to wear a diaper, but man it would be sweet.
